I'm a little surprised that there are a number of people who think Grandzort is a bad game. I found it to be a very solid game with a great character changing system and good challenge.

I don't think its a bad game, but it always looked kinda generic to me, like those below average cookie cutter Genesis side scrollers.

The one time I gave it a decent chance, it turned out a lot more like I assumed than I really expected and I gave up after 3 or 4 stages when it became too boring to continue.

Still, maybe some day I'll play all the way through and discover that its really a terrific game.


Grand Zort isn't as good as Wataru (Keith Courage)

 [-X so continue to play wataru...

Done and done. And I mean done.  :wink:

I like the level design in Granzort. The path to the end of the levels is not always obvious. It has a good difficulty curve too, as mentioned. The music ain't bad to boot.

The one thing that bugs me about it is the graphics have a dithered, "grainy" look to them if you know what I mean. I like polished, nicely shaded graphics.

Yeah that's my only real complaint with Grandzort, it's one dirty looking game and not in a good way, like Dungeon Explorer or something. I don't recall the sound being particularly good either, so I would go as far to say that Keith Courage looks and sounds better than Grandzort, but Grandzort smokes it compared to gameplay.

Grandzort may have better levels/layout overall, but I prefer the actual gameplay(platforming/fighting) from KC's Alpha Zones.

Well I do prefer the concept of Keith Courage more with going through towns and stuff, but I find the controls in Grandzort to be much smoother and enjoyable, not to mention the cool system of changing characters for their own abilities. If Keith Courage fixed the flaws it had, I could easily say it would be much better than Grandzort.

This is sort of off-topic, but I think the fact that you can count the system's entire library on your hands and STILL have fingers left over. If it was cheaper and cooler looking, would it have been less of a failure?

The SuperGrafx is the single coolest looking system ever made.

Better recognize.

I think the original PC Engine looks better than the SuperGrafx.  I think the TurboGrafx-16 looks better than the SuperGrafx.  The SuperGrafx looks... awkward.  It's certainly miles above the Jaguar (or any Atari system), original NES, NES2, PC Engine Shuttle (lord save us), SNES, SNES2, N64, Genesis2, SMS2, PS2 (either fat or slim), 32X, PS3, Wii, Xbox and Xbox360 though.

The Jap and Euro SNES's were nice looking consoles. Unfortunately the US one mutated into some sort of brick.

You might be right.  All of the ones I've seen have a layer of dust that cannot be removed.  Who knows what's underneath?  Now stop hatin' on Thunder Force IV!

Super Famicom looks awesome.  I demand to know why they redesigned it.
