Maximo: Ghosts to Glory (PS2) | The Ghoulish Dead

Ойындар

In the 80s, Ghosts 'n Goblins made a name for itself thanks to its high difficulty and charming pop horror aesthetic. So in the early 2000s, they brought it back with a new jack-up protagonist in an all new 3D world, although the main series would later go back to 2D with future releases. In Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, the mighty King Maximo sets out on a quest to save his wife and kingdom from the evil wizard Achille, even if he has to streak for a bit to make it happen. They can't arrest a king for that, right?

    As soon as you showed Atelier Iris 3 I knew this was going to be a great video! With Radiata Stories it had 2 separate routes, but one was really rushed. There were content creators looking through the commented out code and found even more hours of cutscenes and story that didn't make it into the game. Maximo is so much fun, it's too bad the games didn't sell well, they were going to make a third game. Everything was so much fun, really does play like an old arcade game but in 3D. Really fun and hard bosses. Only big flaw I suppose is limited saves, either save or power up your character, really does feel like Crash 1. Check out Maximo 2 as well, it improves upon the original in every way and has some really fun bosses! You'll like them a lot more than these bosses. Maximo 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, I really liked the 3D intro stages that felt like a remake of the hamlet on fire, with villagers you can rescue and fun puzzles to solve.

    I always really dug the aesthetic and art style for Maximo. I think it still has a certain charm to it throughout all this time. I also liked how lives and health were implemented in this game (outside of the invincibility potion)

    I could totally see this being a cartoon. Although some designs might make it skip Saturday morning for Saturday night.

    The golden armor only makes you invulnerable, the skeleton armor upgrade not only makes you invulnerable but you can destroy any enemy from walking into them, thats the difference.

    I see. Thanks for the information, I had no idea... although, thinking about it, you are basically becoming your buddy Death.

    Man I haven't played this game in AGES....I used to ask my older brother to let me play it on his PS2 and I never got far in the game, but I loved playing it nonetheless, even had a PS magazine that had a review of the game in it too.💯

    I’m kind of surprised it got a cover. Now I kind of want to look up the issue to see the contents.

    8:24 "Not only does this mean he's violating some form of public indecency laws-" Actually, warriors losing their clothes in the world of Ghosts N' Goblins is such a common sight that nobody seems to mind. In the sequel Maximo can talk to other people while in his boxers and they won't comment on his state of undress. This is not just a "story and gameplay segregation" thing, in a one-shot comic book that takes place between the games Maximo is reduced to his boxers at the end and even after he saves this kingdom from a villain the residents talk to him like everything is normal and he just walks away in his underwear not even bothering to armor himself up again so this is canon. I have to admit, I always wanted to see female warriors in this setting. In the failed Korean exclusive MMORPG Ghosts N' Goblins Online you are finally able to play as male or female characters who not only fight in their boxer shorts or bras and panties when they lose all their AP (armor points) but they can also run around the hubworld in their underwear if the player chooses to. This was a very good review. I just got the game a couple days ago after wanting it for years and am already at the third area. Personally, I love it but can understand that it's not for everybody. The difficult platforming has killed me more often than the enemies although several times I didn't have enough health to get past them.
