Gargoyles | IS IT WORTH PLAYING?

In this review, I will tell you about the Gargoyles game for the Sega Mega Drive video game console. From Buena Vista Interactive, Inc.

Background, plot: The game takes place in a fantastic cartoon universe created by the Vault Disney studio based on the animated series of the same name. The plot of the game begins in 994 AD, when evil Viking sorcerers create an incredibly powerful artifact of Odin's eyes, and the distraught Vikings capture Wyvern Castle. Our hero, a gargoyle named Goliath, will oppose them.

Gameplay: Gargoyles is an adventure platform game in its genre. This game belongs to the series of games based on the Walt Disney franchise and is included in the golden collection of the best games of this series for the Sega console. After starting the game and the standard screen of options and settings, we are shown a small introductory video telling the plot and we get into the game itself. Side view of the game. The first thing that catches your eye is the incredibly beautiful graphics and plastic of the main character of the game. From the interface, we only have a bar of our health in the lower left corner of the screen and the display of the number of our lives in the form of Roman numerals next to the bar. From control: We hit the button A and B, and we jump to the button C. When we press button C twice, we use our wings to double jump. So, we are near the castle which is attacked by crazy Vikings. The first of them, swinging a ball on a chain, is already running towards us. Our Goliath fights like a real street fighter, performing both grabs and throws. An interesting element is that you can jump on the defeated opponents and their lifeless bodies react quite realistically to our landing, and besides, defeated opponents do not disappear dissolving into the air. Let it be a trifle, but it shows the quality of the game in terms of graphics. Our goal, as in most games, is to get to the end of the level alive. On the way, we are attacked not only by the Vikings, but we also need to dodge many different flying projectiles from guns, arrows and catapult charges. Moreover, the hit of these shells into the objects of the scenery like castle towers and pieces of walls and stones located as if in the foreground was done very effectively - they scatter to pieces. Having reached the dilapidated castle wall on the right, we discover an interesting gameplay detail, namely, climbing the walls. Our hero Goliath very dexterously climbs any vertical surfaces, and using a double jump, we can climb into the most inaccessible places. And as the game progresses, we will be very actively using this gameplay element in the platforming setting.

Along the way, we collect various bonuses, some of which fall out of enemies, while others are hidden in various secret places on the levels. These are round plates, hammers and various golden cups of different sizes that add to our health. If the path is blocked by a small thickness of the wall, then they can simply be smashed with a running start with your body and in the same way break through the floors. Having made our way to the very right side of the level, we enter a dilapidated castle. Further our path lies in the corridors of the castle, barely lit by torches. We open the grids by jumping onto the load of counterweights and then very quickly run under the closing grids. We dodge the fiery drops of burning resin that the defenders of the castle will pour on us from the walls. , and climb up the various towers and halls of the castle. The third stage from the previous one will not differ in anything special, but at the end the first boss in the game will be waiting for us. Apparently Thor himself judging by his manipulation of the hammer and lightning. It will not be easy to fight him, but once you get used to it, victory will not keep you waiting. Further, underground levels await us, among the flows of magma and a huge titan boss guarding these caves. And then we will be told the story of Goliath, who was cursed for a thousand years and turned to stone until the castle was rebuilt. And then the game will continue in our time and in our world, but I hope you will want to know about the further adventures of Goliath yourself ... The game turned out to be incredibly beautiful, dynamic and very exciting. It will appeal to all connoisseurs of platformers with very sensitive and responsive controls, many techniques of the main Hero and a large set of various stages with different gameplay findings and interesting elements on each.

Graphics: Graphically, the game, as well as all the games based on the Disney franchise, looks fantastically beautiful. The levels resemble shots from a real Disney cartoon. They are incredibly detailed. The colors are very well matched. Simply amazing realistic plastic animation of all the characters in the game and especially the main character Goliath. Stunning special effects in the game keep up with the equally fantastically beautiful graphics. Various destructible elements of the scenery on the levels look especially spectacular.
Music and sound: The most magnificent and sonorous musical compositions sounding at each game level resemble the musical accompaniment of real cartoons. The gorgeous sound effects sound great. It was especially pleasant to hear the main musical theme of the animated series in the main menu of the game.
In my opinion, the game is worth familiarizing yourself with.
This concludes my review, thanks for reading to the end.
