Sumo Fighter [Action Game]
Potential Pros & Cons PROS: - You get to play with a SUMO WRESTLER - Detailed backdrops and large character sprites - Decent audio - Moderate Length - Password support - Different difficulties present new enemies and challenges - Interesting blend of platformer, RPG, and Japanese aesthetics - Uncommon game (for collectors) CONS: - The hero, Bon-chan, lags slightly between turns - Bon-chan stomps fairly slow - Bon-chan's headbutt attack is pretty useless - Rising levels create holes everywhere you jump (very annoying) - The U.S. needs more games with Sumo Wrestlers for stars Bel States:"More fun than a barrel of monkeys? Maybe not, but Sumo Fighter is a fine Game Boy Action/RPG starring a hero we hardly got to know. This game wields a solid gameplay engine and Japanese culture in spades, not to mention you even get a little of the whole Sumo Wrestling/Oozumou experience on the side. Too bad we'll probably never see anything like this in the states ever again."Game Screenshots
