After I grabbed Rainbow Cotton for evaluation, I wasn’t certain what to anticipate. I personal this sport for the SEGA Dreamcast, however I keep in mind nothing about it. I used to be pleasantly stunned because it’s a third individual cute ’em up! I “love me some” Area Harrier, so this launch was firmly in my wheelhouse.
Rainbow Cotton harkens again to the early ’90s-2000s period with nice, enjoyable anime-based cinematics and characters with foolish tales to propel the participant into the wacky world of fantasy and enjoyable. You’re Heroine Cotton, and to chop the narrative proper out and provide you with info, you’re out to defeat the dangerous guys for magical sweet; yep, magical candy…very deep.
The sport has reversed controls. Like flying a aircraft, up is down, and down is up. These controls is usually a tad formidable to get accustomed to the mechanics, however after a brief bit, I used to be flying with the not-so-best of them…okay, I used to be dangerous. However (in fact) it didn’t take lengthy to get a really feel for therefore quick a studying curve. As soon as I had the dangle of it, I used to be having a blast.
The artwork course in Rainbow Cotton may be very late 90’s anime with massive, colourful enemies that undoubtedly will make you snigger. This entry is, I imagine, the primary Cotton sport in 3D. My solely private gripe is that when Cotton is in the course of the display, she blocks the participant’s view of the enemy, permitting some low cost photographs. That doesn’t make it poor; it actually simply will increase the problem. In the case of the soundtrack, although, I wasn’t very impressed. Nothing stood out as distinctive. It didn’t spoil the expertise, however I additionally really feel it actually didn’t draw you in.
Problem-wise, it ramps up fairly rapidly. The primary stage units you as much as get a really feel for the gameplay; not very difficult. The second stage begins to warn that it’s about to go down. By the third, all the things and everyone seems to be making an attempt to blast your broom-riding butt out of the air. I by no means made it previous the fourth, primarily because of the capturing, aka button mashing, drained my paws out. Then I discovered I might simply maintain the button down. DOH!
Rainbow Cotton is a number of enjoyable. It’s a kind of video games you may seize rapidly and never must drop hours on. The cutscenes between ranges will make the youngsters giggle on the antics of Cotton and her good friend as they journey to get sweet. There’s nothing really off with this sport; it’s cute with easy-to-pick-up, tough-to-master, enjoyable gameplay. Price each penny.
