Astro Robo sasa

(Japan Only)

Play as a spaceman and collect "E"... Is this Balloon Fight 0.7?

                Bond, ARS Bond...                            What the heck is going on?                     WOW! A water tower on NES!


Ironhawk's Review

Graphics: 7        Better than Colecovision, which is all that really mattered in 1983.

Sound: 4            None really to speak of.  The two or three different sound effects (all high-pitched) surprisingly aren't annoying.

Playability: 8       Controls like Gravity Well does.  Easy to understand, hard to master.

Concept: 9         Wow, they sure had some original games back then.

Retro Value: 8   This gem belongs in your collection.  Of gems.  If you live in Japan or own a Famicom.

Overall: 9           Maybe this is what Miyamoto was talking about when he said that every game should use one big button.  Well, he said something about that at least.


Nightowl's Review

Graphics: 8    Solid and colorful. Especially for a game so early in the NES's life.

Sound: 5    Nothing special... nothing bad.

Playability: 6     Fairly simple. Once again, nothing special here.

Concept: 7    Sort of a pre-"Balloon Fight" very creative.

Retro Value: 9    The one player mode gets dry after a while. But the two player mode reigns supreme forever!

Overall: 5    A great game... it just needs a little deeper game play.
