Phantom Phighter. I mean, Fantom Fighter. I mean, Phantom Fighter.
 Phantom Fighter is one of those NES games that has such a goofy plot that it isn�t worth even paying attention to. Apparently you are some guy named Kenchi and you are a phantom fighter.  You travel from town to town saving the people from hopping vampires, I kid you not. I did some research and found that the Chinese have a superstition of these super-natural hopping vampires called Kyonshi.
 Ridiculous plot aside, this game is basically a side scrolling fighting/rpg where you kill these creatures and gain items and powers from them and the townspeople you save.
| | Phantom Fighter | Graphics: 5
Not too shabby for an NES game. I don�t know why but sometimes I think the graphics look pretty good. The color scheme seems to fit the atmosphere of this game perfectly. I�m not going to deny the fact that the things you fight look retarded, but they are hopping vampires�how else should they look? |
Playability: 6
The game-play is all about timing. Once you figure out the tendencies of these vampires, fighting shouldn�t be too difficult. I prefer the stick and move strategy. Hey, if it�s good enough for Little Mac in Punch Out, it�s good enough for me. Anyway, fighting is a bit too simple, otherwise it would have earned a higher rating. |
Fun Factor: 4
The first time I played this game, I would have predicted the fun factor to be a 0. The game simply looked idiotic. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find this game addictive and pretty fun. I�m not saying I would ever rant and rave about this game, but if you ever stumble across it, give it a chance. The only problem is that when you beat it, you will probably never play it again, but I�d say its good for a few hours of action packed gaming fun. |
