  1. Ghosts to Glory is one of the most addicting, angering, exciting, and unforgiving-as-all-get-out (when jumping onto moving targets) games that I have ever played! There is never a dull moment.
  2. Ok, let me get this off my chest right away – Maximo is just too difficult, there, I said it!...but it was an enjoyable experience.
  3. A great mix of cutting audio/visual splendor with tried and true platforming game play.
  4. Featuring similar hack and slash gameplay, which has an uncanny knack of being addictive due to its frustrating nature, Maximo is a title that may appeal more to old-school gamers.

    This game is a classic. I can't remember the last time I've had this much fun. It's nice to have game that that executes platforming well. Easily a must buy. Expand
  2. This hack and slash was so fun back in the day, and its high amount of difficulty and strategy required make you want to approach this game with caution. Expand

    A decent modern day adaptation of ghouls & Ghosts. Yet it just does not live to its heritage. However, I did like the humor and all the obvious nods to the original game. Overall: A decent game, but nothing to spectacular. Expand
