Lost Gems #1 - Maximo: Ghosts to Glory

By Aljosa15 13 Comments

 
I play a lot of niche games so I'm doing a blog series of hidden and forgotten classics. I hope to inform people of these old games and if you have played any of them, by all means please list your experiences and opinions on the game in question. And the first game is.....

Maximo: Ghosts to Glory is an old-school hack and slash game made by Capcom on the PS2. The game is based on the classic Ghosts n' Goblins series and borrows some elements from it like very hard difficulty and Maximo's armor comes off every time he gets hit until he's left with only boxers (perverts!). The game is primarily a platformer with some beat em' up elements. Maximo is able to move freely around the 3D plane to jump, attack enemies, and defend himself all with the help of the Playstation 2. The game is split into 5 worlds each with different stages and a boss at the end. I won't talk about the story since I don't want to spoil it for
anyone, but it's hilarious and well worth the price of admission.  The game was met with mixed reception and scores ranged between 6-9. The vast majority of reviews said the game wasn't accessible due to it's difficulty, it currently has an 84 rating on Metacritic so it isn't THAT mixed. There is also a sequel called Maximo vs. Army of Zin. It might be a little expensive now but if you find it at Gamestop/EBGames for a cheap price, pick it up! 
 
That's it for the first "hidden gem". I don't have a fixed time period for when I'll write up another one, but it won't take long. Thanks for reading and make sure to follow me. :D
