There are several different techniques that you can choose to attack your enemies. Oh, almost forgot, you can actually throw your shield to hit your enemies as well. You can attack the enemies with your sword or hammer, and you also have a shield to protect you. Most of the puzzles can be easily solved, a few others are more challenging but shouldn’t frustrate you. The control is very responsive, you will do a lot of jumping from one place to another, you will need to solve the puzzles. This is an area where this game does extremely well. Some of the people/villagers that you say ‘Thank You’ or ‘Help Me’ depending on the situation, but most of them have the same voice. Nothing memorable, but it doesn’t make you want to turn off the music though. It’s just a great atmosphere there, fighting the ‘last’ Boss in front of his army. The final Boss fight is very good, you are surrounded by hundreds of enemies.
My personal favorite is the scarecrow with pumpkin head that can be found in a haunted forest.
The FMV is very good actually, but the cut scenes are just okay (average). The graphics is good, certainly not the best ever seen on PS2. They are attacking the villagers nearby, so it’s up to Maximo to protect the people and investigate where these robots are coming from. These robots were supposed to be locked and sealed in a Great Vault of Hawkmoor. Maximo is on his way to find his true love, Sophia then suddenly he’s attacked by a bunch of robots powered by ‘trapped’ souls. Ironically, though there are still elements of humor, Army of Zin is darker and less cartoon-like than Ghosts to Glory. No longer will players build up their inventory, only to watch most of their items disappear after they die. The biggest concession is that players are now allowed to keep all the weapons they have obtained.
Those who found the original Ghosts to Glory to be prohibitively difficult will notice a few changes designed to make the game less frustrating.
Also, to make Maximo temporarily invulnerable, he will occasionally be able to transform into his buddy, the Grim Reaper. Many of the staples of Ghosts to Glory have returned (such as hidden treasure chests), but there will be less platform jumping, more attack moves (over 30 in all), and a combat system that rewards players for dispatching enemies quickly and efficiently. Depending on the situation, players will be able to swap out different pairs of shorts for strategic purposes. However, the underwear in this game actually serves a functional purpose beyond comic relief. There are 26 levels in all spread across six different environments.Īs in earlier games in the series, Maximo wears boxer shorts beneath his armor. The developers at Capcom promise a more engrossing story this time around and have removed the hub screen, meaning each level flows into the next. The action picks up where Ghosts to Glory left off, as the title hero must abandon his kingdom in order to search for his missing girlfriend. The sequel to Maximo: From Ghosts to Glory, which was loosely based on the classic Ghosts 'n Goblins series, Maximo vs Army of Zin puts players in the role of Maximo, a master swordsman with a penchant for battling undead creatures.
