See if it wasn't for the old woman being able to 'curly muffin' I'd have commended them for obeying the laws of physics. Maybe she's got some little maneuvering thrusters...

o come on its not that hard.
I managed to get to the final level on beginner in the Japanese version. You get loadsa lives unlimited continues and can save all over the place. The hard bit is getting all the rings to open up the demon gate to the final boss. And also once you get the shield you can fly around on or the wings that let you fly then all the dodgy jumps are a moot point. You just fly to all the hard to reach rings

No, Pandemonium was first released on the PS-One, and it was very good, imho. One of the few games I enjoyed right up to the end boss - played it together with my girlfriend back then (yes, I am old)
That end boss was too tough for me back then, so I fear this game will be too tough too - I did, by the way, play the original a fair bunch also. Too hard. :p |

I am really looking forward to playing this but reviewers appear to be split on how much the rock hard difficulty spoils the enjoyment of the game.
I am sure I have managed to complete all the other versions in my youth but seem to be less able to come up with such feats of dexterity these days. I even found a few of the levels in SM DS difficult and everyone else thought this game was ridiculously easy. Might have to wear a gag while playing to avoid painting the air blue. |

@disc
Ghosts 'N Goblins is not out until Friday in Europe so how do you know the sales will be poor. I cannot believe it bombed in Japan. And whilst I like Locco Rocco it's a bit of a niche title. I would like to think that once developers/consumers get over the fact that the PSP can display decent 3D we are likely to see more games like LR and G&G. |

7/10 and excellent.
Not the game, but the sub-head puns. Quite made me chuckle. |

I love this series in all its previous incarnations. Love, love, love it. And I can't wait for this.
At last, a game I actually *want* for my dusty old PSP... |

I hate these games with a passion. Yes, they are great arcade games that truly test your patience, but at the same time they've never managed to quite update them to standards - case in point being this PSP release. There's just so many frustrating design decisions mentioned in this review that even the thought of me playing this game sends chills through my spine.
I own the GBA release of Super Ghosts 'n Goblins, that was enough torture to last me a lifetime. People will either love these games or hate them with all their being.

"I don't think they sell the same amounts as the full '3d' games such as Miami Vice etc."
Super Mario Bros on the DS sold many millions in just a few weeks. I know that was on the DS, but the DS makes up most of the handheld market so there's definitely potential customers out there for decent 2D gameplay. |

"no doubt helped by the fact that a pure bred 2D platformer sits better on a handheld than on a Xbox 360."
Only because the 360 d-pad is worthless - otherwise this would be just fine on that too. Sure, some people would whine, but they need bricks slamming into their faces, until they stop complaining about being given choice. Simple really. |

A lot of people complain about the PSP d-pad as it is... |
