2012/12/28: Sega Master System: Batman Returns, Transbot

Let me know about what you think about this latest set of Master System reviews.

By the way, I added the "no cache" meta tags to these pages, so there should be no problems with the reviews not showing up. Let me know if it works!

I actually really enjoy Transbot, its a great game which is amusing for about 20 minutes. It's not a great game, but I would have given it a C. Keep in mind, that this is a Sega Card game. So there is not as much level room.

wow, I'm shocked by the batman returns review, I love the game, I think it's fun and the music is really good imo

Shocked at Batman Returns score too, I wouldn't have given it less than a C, probably a B- or even a B. The music is "not the one they use in other games", it was made by none other than the legendary Yuzo Koshiro (Actraiser, Streets of Rage series). The different paths you can choose are difficulty paths if I'm not mistaken. While I agree the claw control could be better, it's not that hard of a game. I really enjoyed this one and don't understand the flack it gets.

Looks like I really touched a nerve with the Batman review.
If anybody knows any tactics/hints that might help make the game more playable, let me know.

Also, I'm starting to think the cache thing will not really be effective right away. I may have to update all my pages with the no-cache tag, and wait a few days for it to take effect.

I always love seeing Master System reviews. I find Transbot to be fun for 10-20 minute gaming sessions, but definitely very shallow. Batman Returns is not bad. It's difficult for me, but I suck at videogames anyway.

I liked Transbot for me a C... as someone else said it was a card game so there was not a lot of room for fancy 8 bit graphics

the best hint I can give you is: Don't use the master system controller.

it's mushy D-pad is awful for this sort of game, if you can try to use another controller
