The gameplay in Super Meat Boy is fairly solid and is constantly enlivened by leaping into Warp Zones or facing down new obstacles. I’m so glad I got the soundtracks to all these games because I’ll be revisiting that, even if I never touch the game again. The music in this game is top notch, truly magnificent, and varies as much as the graphics do. This is one of the few instances where graphics massively enhance a game, and is probably my favourite aspect of Super Meat Boy.ĭid I say the graphics were my favourite part? Oops – I seem to have forgotten the music for a second. Some of the regular levels also change-up the visuals in various ways such as silhouetted terrain and characters, and the constantly changing visuals make the game feel truly alive. A game might as well be a bad movie if you can just walk through it.Īs I previously stated, the graphics in this game are greatly varied, ranging from drawn-in-flash style cut scenes to highly polished gameplay graphics with features such as dynamic lighting, to stylized Warp Zones reminiscent of old games consoles such as the Gameboy and NES. I love hard games: I love Gradius, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Gremlins 2, Kabuki: Quantum Fighter, and F-Zero I’ve completed Devil May Cry 4 and Lost Planet on pretty much every difficulty setting, and I always try to do my first run of a game on Hard. Super Meat Boy is a hard game – that should be made clear from the start, but it’s not a bad thing. This is possibly one of the shiniest, prettiest, most entertaining games of its type: the soundtrack is banging the graphics are simple, but lovingly crafted, varied, and thoughtful and the game offers depth far beyond what I expected – so why do I hate it? Second chances are where it’s all at though, right? We’ll find out in the first of my Humble Indie Bundle reviews.Ī lot has changed since flash game Meat Boy. It was an okay game, but the controls were far too floaty for my liking, the game was un-engaging, and I was bored. I’m familiar with Meat Boy, the flash game, from a long time ago, and I didn’t like it back then. You may have guessed from the title of this post that I am no fan of Super Meat Boy.
