I think as games go more and more towards the digital download aspect lacking any physical medium I think there will be an even bigger rift between retro/classic game players and current gen gamers. Don't get me wrong, there are great games being released all the time, but something as simple as opening and closing a Megadrive/Genesis clamshell case is enjoyable for me. Or taking out the instruction booklet and flipping through it.

I concur.

lol

also, People who can't be bothered to give a game more than 10ish minutes of their time shouldn't be gaming.  The best kind of games require more than 10 minutes to get the full effect. 

If you want immediate amazement, do some acid and stare at a kaleidoscope.

So there is a thread for this.

I wrote a review of the game, since I actually own the game.

1. The game is a great challenger.
2. Basically a Valis 1 clone, and I said Valis one in the non PCE/NES 3. Has bionic commando features, which is the only way to get around, because the character walks in real-time like people in GTA
4. One stage is actually simular to that SNES game, however that SNES game has better music.
5. Your clothing being armour being torned off, along with your leotard is also a nice death sequence, at least it give you something to watch, when you die, which is going to occur alot.
6. The graphics are pretty auwsome in relations with mid 1990 animations. This pretty much sums up Barberella the game.
8. The correct way to play this game is for exploration, but towards the end of the game, it becomes super ridicoulous. You see a mega spoiler is the reason I brought this game, that is towards the end.
9. The game follows the rules of non-save games. That is why the levels seems short, because there is no save for this game. Like Sonic 1, you either have the time or not.

Do I enjoy this game? Yes when I get the chance I do take it out for a spin.

If you really want to get it, then get it. It is like buying that $1000 dollar record you gotta own.

Hey, found a pretty good deal on a copy of Faussete Amour (~$45 plus shipping) and it just came today.
The reason it was so cheap was the cover has some weird water damage, like it looks like someone sneezed on it or something, there's little specks of discoloration all over it. It doesn't really bother me as it as I just wanted to play it, but it would be nice to print out a cover that I could stick in there instead.

So any of you guys with this game willing to scan the cover for me, or does anyone have a hi-res copy of the cover? I'd really appreciate it!

The game was literally just delivered so I haven't popped it in yet but will play through it when I get back to my place this afternoon!

Eagerly awaiting your opinions now that you tracked it down.

I also recently played it for the first time since I've read other ppls thoughts on it. This game should have been imported more, but I guess Castlevania was out around the same time and it got all the love.

Faucet Armor is a game that doesnt get enough credit.   It's a beautifully done game.

I think it's a pretty good game too, it reminds me a lot of Bionic Commando which is one of my fav NES games. I got a really good deal on my copy, I found it for $10 at CGE a couple years back.

The negative reviews occur because people get pissed off when an expensive game isn't A) dazzling, or B) groundbreaking.  As good as it is, FA is neither.

Ditto.

I spent a bit of time with this game yesterday and I have to say... I love it! It's quickly becoming one of my favorite platformers for the CD system (Dracula X will always have the #1 spot). Really glad I picked it up. Haven't cleared it yet but I got to the boss battle where you are taking on the four girls at once and they kicked my ass a few times although I came close to beating them. I'll try to finish the game over the weekend but these are my opinions so far.

Graphics - 9/10

Love all of the vibrant color in the background and spites. It really shows off the PCE's color - it just pops. Everything is clear and easy to make out, and the worlds just look so vibrant, and maintain a consistent graphical style. I dock it a point because I'm a parallax junkie and I think a few of the levels would have looked even better with at least one layer of scrolling.

Cutscenes 8/10

I really love the graphical style of the game and character designs and look forward to each of the cutscenes as I get to them, unlike a lot of games were I usually just skip over them. But they are too short... Wish they could have put in at least a few more frames after each boss; seems there are only about 2 or 3 frames in total for each one. Not a big issue, I just want more!

Sound - 9/10

The music is quite unique, and is unlike just about any other game soundtrack out there. A few of the stages really stick out to me, like the hell/lava stage that incorporates girls screams into the music. Really great! The sound effects don't really stand out to me but work fine. The only complaint is that some of the music tracks are pretty short so if you have to play through a level a couple times in a row you'll be hearing the same loop quite a few times.

Gameplay 10/10

This is where the game really shines. The control is perfect. I couldn't tell from videos of them game, but it's spot-on. Never had a death due to bad controls. And the weapon system is really fantastic. Her regular attack is fast enough to make short work of tough enemies, and the hook-and-jump action a la Bionic Commando works really well for the most part. I didn't realize at first that if you hit the attack button while you are attached to the ledge you would do a spin jump up. The lava stage gave me a lot of trouble (especially with those green devils) until I realized I had to utilize the spin jump to take them out in one hit. So that adds some strategy, as well as with her magical attacks that add a moment of delay in her movement which make you think about when you should use them.

The difficultly and pacing is perfect for me. The stages are set up so once you learn them you can breeze through them with confidence but will surprise you the first few times. The first couple mid-bosses and bosses are really easy, but they quickly become quite challenging and fun. The items are placed perfectly; you'll be able to find a spare armor upgrade when you need it, and 1-ups are plentiful. I like how the non-crystal items stay put for the whole level. So if you avoid it and need it later you can come back and get it. Some people had complained that this game is "slow" but I really enjoy the pacing. You can work your way through the level at your own pace and I find it really fun to play.

Haven't cleared it yet but at this point I'd give this game a 9/10. Whether it's worth the $100+ price it can fetch at times is debatable, but as a game I'd say it's a worthy addition to any PCE collection. It's got a lot of lasting charm, great presentation and sound, and solid game play.
