Videogame Review, Captain Planet and the Planeteers (w/ NES Max Controller)

Videogame Review, Captain Planet and the Planeteers (w/ NES Max Controller)


The difficulty is very, very complicated.  The moves are too sharp and the enemies are too bouncy.  I do have “power” as such.  But, I don’t really know where the power is.  My ship does crash very easily.  Speed for the game is extreme and I don’t think having a super hero makes the speed any different.  We get controls for shooting and capture.  But, the capture is funky and the shooting is poor.  When I’m less than careful, my ship can just dive straight into a trap and there’s little maneuver to be done.  Moves for the game are too sharp; and, what happens is, I don’t have enough video to get a nice study of the playing field.  The instruction manual does have opinions of method and my gameplay is hurt according to vague lines of data.  Animals can be too small to see.  There’s better entertainment from watching the TV show for the game and, honestly, the TV show should be first in line of quality.  Captain Planet and the Planeteers is like an after-thought.  We get lots of hints and suggestions from the game; however, putting them together requires some kind of external knowledge between TV show and professional NES gameplay.  Sometimes, in the history of video games, the programmers are the only people who can play their own games.  A programmer creates a game; so, it’s not really surprising if he can beat his own game.  But that’s nothing!  Programmers need to make games for other people and not just themselves.  Every market has customers.  Customers do not know the secret sauce.  So, what can happen is, customers can taste the secret sauce with ignorance and doubt; and, this can eventually land programmers into pest control by critics and reviewers.  Many programmers are just pests.  You can tell from looking at so many video games over the years.  Captain Planet and the Planeteers speaks for environmentalism and protection of wildlife.  Of course, the Nintendo Entertainment System, by today’s standards, would not be considered environmentally friendly.  How many broken machines do we have for the Nintendo Entertainment System?  A lot!  This fact makes it hard for me to believe in this NES game.  Keep in mind that recycling is not always legal.  You can find details about this in the instruction manual.  Truth is, video games can be like once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.  Videogames can exist in working order just once and then disappear from the planet.  So many “old” video games have been disappearing.  Think about how many PONG machines did exist and how many PONG machines exist now.  It’s really quite sad.  From a historical perspective, this NES game did not solve the planet problem.  Captain Planet and the Planeteers was just a fantastic exaggeration with deceptive features.
