Customer Reviews of 1942
A classic returns 1942 was, by far, one of my favorite NES games. And now it's been revived for the Game Boy Color! How does Capcom's very first video game measure up by today's standards? Read on and see.
Graphics: Very simplistic, but effective. Glitching is minimal. 3.25/5
Play Control: Move, roll, shoot. Does it get any easier? 4/5
Challenge: This is a good game, but it's not a very tough one. 2.75/5
Theme/Fun: This was the first in a long line of excellent Capcom games, and managed to be fun even by today's standards. 4.25/5
Sound/Music: No music other than bleeps, and minimal sounds. 2.5/5
Story: It's World War II. Shoot down all the Japs you can. Does anyone find it odd only one plane has been sent to fight off so many bad guys? Likewise, why would Capcom, a Japanese company, make a game that involves their nation losing a war? 3.25/5
Originality: This game took the stylings of classics like Space Invaders and Galaga, and gave them new life! 4/5
Replay Value: You'll want to play the game a lot, to try and get a high score and high kill total. 3/5
Overall Score: 3.75/5
This is one of the finest "old school" shooting games out there. If you've got a GBC and you find this game for a good price, consider the purchase. Just don't expect anything revolutionary.
Fun, but WAY too easy
When I opened the package and put it into my gameboy color I thought to myself, WOW! now I have a really good game. Of course this was the first game I got. It has pretty good graphics, but the problem is that it dosn't have a point. It is a top to bottem scroling game, where you have to shoot the ememys that come onto your screen. you have one wepon, the machine gun, but they shouldn't call it that because if you hold the fire button down it shoots a little faster than once per second. The only other move you can do is a loop, it will help you dodge one or two enemys at a time, but you can only use the loop 3 times per level. every 2-4 levels there is a boss, a huge bomer, he will shoot 5 bullets at a time at you. I beat this game in about 3 days, and I thought it was to easy, and the ending really [was not very good].
I recomend this game to people who like pointless shoot-em-up games that are easy to beat.
This game should have stayed in the 80's
This is not a good game. It is so simple and i was dissapointed to find it had very little of the elements of a good plane shoot-em up. You don't get any bombs, power-up' are limited, no 2-player option, and easy to kill enemies and bosses. I thought the fact that there were 32 levels was good, but you get unlimited continues, password saves, and the levels are easy enough for a monkey to beat. A dissapointing game. Leave it in the past and on the shelves.
