AWEZOMEAMNS REVIEWS: Metal Gear Karas by graygoose

Archive: 2 posts


I have no problem saying that, besides my review of Trial of Skill by ShiningAquas, this was easily the hardest level I've been asked to review. So many deaths, but is this level still good despite its difficulty?

Once again it looks good. All the materials fit the theme and were used creatively. The enemies look good too. Everything's just solid, and if my screenshots that I took didn't magically disappear when I quit the game and then realized I had to export them to the hard drive, causing me to start the game up again and find out they weren't there anymore, you could see that this level looks good and has nice little details like an MM level.

It does a have the ingredients of a Metal Gear level but doesn't feel very much like a Metal Gear level. No Otacon, no nothing. Maybe the ghost following you the whole time telling you to "!!Watch out!!!!!!" was supposed to be him, but I just thought it was a spooky ghost.

MGK has some nice platforming spots. I really liked the stair parts, but liked the parts where you had to jump over the gears even more. The enemies are nice, but somewhat difficult to take down before you get the hang of it. The elite enemies are cool, but I really liked the little midget geckos that you run into near the end. Those were my favorite enemies...besides the boss.

Metal Gear Karas is one of the first levels I've seen to have the difficulty really swell up into an epic boss fight. First there may be only one or two elites, but then you'll see a whole bunch of them as well as the mini geckos. And then you have to battle MGK. MGK is sort of hard to take down, but very rewarding when you do.

All in all, MGK is a good Metal Gear level that is fun, but is feeling somewhat...unmetalgeary... 4 STARS!! OMG!!!!?!?!?

thanks for the nice review man... youve done well with your review... i tried my best to make the level to be as action packed and enjoyable at the same time, despite the many deaths that you had, that is expected in this level for it is challenging, i think putting as many checkpoints an helpful hints make up for it.

and yes i never intended on having any attachments to the story of the Metal Gear Series, thats why you wouldnt see a single character from MGS ... everything is pretty much built from scratch and its sort of another reality to it.

well thanks again and im glad you enjoyed it and felt somewhat satisfied after beating The Metal Gear Karas, he is quite tough, once you figure out he's patterns he's just a cake walk lol!

BTW this is just an update, ive added the Metal Gear Karas as a prize for completing the level and republished it yesterday, maybe you were lucky enough to get it?
