Reviews for Rex Hard (#4132)

Review by Juan F. Ramirez on 21 Feb 2017 (Rating: 2)

This game from the spanish Mister Chip contains all the ingredients for a good adventure: An intrepid explorer, Indiana Jones style, is searching the Golden Sun, an ancient treasure hidden in a far south american jungle. The are some objects to use in certain places and a remaining time to accomplish each phase: the jungle, the indian village and the pyramid (including a vulcan, secret passages and subterranean temples).

But all this expectation falls down when you start the game. The character moves in an isometric screen, in a similar Filmation 2 way. But it's a bad, clumsy movement that complicates the gameplay. Once some natives brought closer to you it's nearly impossible to avoid them and run for the exit. You are supposed to reach a bridge to cross it and advance to next place, but I've never done it after many attempts.

Modest graphics and the absence of sounds or music finish this poor game off.
