Video Game Reviews of Friday the 13th
Customer Review: A wonderful classic game for the NES
Summary: 3 Stars
I remember when this game was brand new. It came out around the same time as Nightmare on Elm Street game, which truly sucked. I think Nintendo wanted to explore the gaming possibilities like perspective and battles with this game, because the player got a lot of difficult challenges.
Pros:
- Jason was very difficult to fight because of the differing perspectives. When he appeared on the side scrolling screen, all you could do is dodge his attacks and counter-attack till he runs away. And when he's in the cabins, it takes careful dodging and counter-attacks. Not that easy, but it is possible. It's a lot easier with the pitchfork, of course.
- Hidden enemies like Jason's mom
- A lot of areas to explore
- Actually getting lost in the forest and caves! I never got lost in a side-scrolling game before. Bravo to Nintendo for that one!
- Music wasn't that bad, for a Nintendo game
- Being able to transfer weapons to the weaker and slower counselors makes survival almost possible :-)
Cons
- The sudden shift from side-scrolling to a 3rd person perspective in the cabins, and fight against Jason's mom is very annoying. It takes awhile to get used to, and seems almost unnecessary at times.
- Jason's ability to jump from one side of the screen to another at will.
Not too many cons, I know. But I'm bias. It's a good game which I recommend.
