Great remake of a classic game

My children love Star Wars and pooled their allowances to purchase this game.
The "buzz" isn't as loud or startling as the original, which I appreciate.
From 6-14, every child begs to play this game!

So glad I bought an original version instead on the newer version. This is just as a remember it and we are having lots of fun playing it as a family!

This game was a great redo. Excellent graphics and sound. The reason for the missing star was due to the fact that some of the cut scenes were not redone for 1080p. there is a mix of old school graphics in with the new on the cut scenes only. You can definitely tell the difference. Aside from laziness of dev. team to redo all cutscenes, the game is great and worth owning. I got the game for $30 a target on a markdown so it was a steal for me.

I bought this game because I am a big fan of the original Medievil game for the Playstation. It was actually one of my first PSP games, and the first one I beat. I love this game. That's all I can say. I wondered, at first, if it could even be compared to the original, but as I got used to it, I fell in love with the way the levels have been revamped, and the combat improved. The story is a little more straightforward, cutting a couple levels out (such as the Asylum grounds; kind of a disappointment to me as that was one of my favorite levels in the original) as well as adding a couple new ones. The effect is that the story flows more smoothly, adding a couple new ideas into the game that do not change the story too much. It's like playing the old game but with better graphics. The music is incredible, and the color is amazing. Good ole Sir Daniel Fortesque has even been made much more "alive" with a broad range of facial expression, as well as body language. Adding to the fun is Tom Baker (the 4th Doctor in Doctor Who) as the narrator and the voice of Death.

I laughed, I got angry, I kicked that ugly old Zarok's...well, you know what. All in all, I recommend this game to anyone looking for a good game to kill some time and have great fun doing it.

A classic remade. I really enjoyed playing this again. It only took me 50 hours but it was time well spent.

Great game. Really improved on original. Had a lot of fun playing it. Lots of stuff to do so you don't just fly through main story which is kind of short.

I played the original of this game and couldn't wait once I heard they were making a second one. I just started playing it and it is a lot of fun. Their are so many more enemies to kill in this one and you start out a lot stronger. Your moves have been improved and you can do a lot of different things now. I can't wait to play more.....

A great throwback to the original Punch-Out!! classic, this new title revitalizes the franchise with updated visuals and sound. Old favorites return with superb animation and great voicework that really brings out their wacky personalities.
The gameplay is practically identical to the old NES title with some additions from the SNES game and extra layers of polish. As players progress they'll quickly realize how challenging Punch-Out!! really can be: especially when they get knocked out by Glass Joe in Title Defense mode.

The extra challenges in Exhibition Mode help to really round out the package, offering dedicated players hours and hours of puzzle/action gameplay for their dollar. The multiplayer mode is a bit of a throwaway, but Punch-Out!! is really a test of pattern recognition and reflexes, and this new title completely sells the concept in spades.

I'm so happy this came out with a new version. I loved this game in the early 90's and now get to play it with my kids. The new cards make a more interesting game. I don't think there's anything that can't be countered now and the new weapons align with the regular game. Just a incredibly simple and entertaining game

Even though I don't have it yet (but I will soon), it's a awesome remake of Wario's Woods from the NES, with more stuff to do. Great classic!

King of New York is a solid update to the original.  It keeps the game simple enough (in my opinion) to help it remain a fine gateway/in-between game, but introduces enough fun new elements that I would suggest buying this instead of the original (King of Tokyo).  If you already have King of Tokyo, I wouldn't go so far as to say you still need to pick this up, but I also wouldn't dissuade you from doing so.  It's a very fun press-your-luck dice game with a funny theme and lots of enjoyable ancillary elements.

It takes the original mechanics from King of Tokyo, and adds in a few fun new features.  At the base of the game, the dice have been changed from 3 icons and 3 numbers to 6 distinct icons: attack, energy, heal, celebrity, destruction, and 'ouch!'.  The first three have carried over, and are pretty self explanatory (damage other monsters, earn energy currency, and heal yourself).  The others are a bit more interesting.  Celebrity rolls take the place of the entire numbers system from the prior game.  Now, you need to roll 3 Celebrity on your turn to take control of the Superstar card (a global card that is stolen back and forth throughout the game).  You get 1 point for stealing the card, and 1 point per Superstar dice beyond 3 that turn.  If you have the card at the start of your turn, each Superstar dice saved on your turn will give you 1 point.  This turns the 'roll for points' mechanic into a situation where you may be forced to try to steal the card away from a player who has gotten close to a point victory.

The Destruction dice side is used with another new system in the game - Building/Unit tokens.  The game board is broken up into a set of 4 outer 'boroughs' and the inner 'borough' - Manhattan (the Tokyo of this game).  Each borough has a set of building tokens which can be destroyed for one-time benefits of healing, victory points, or energy.  You just roll enough Destruction, and you then flip over all of the building tokens you wish to destroy and take their benefits. By flipping over a building token, you reveal an army Unit token.  Visible Unit tokens are a major risk/reward.  Whereas Building tokens are benign, the Unit tokens can cause you damage if you or other monsters roll enough of the 'Ouch!' dice side.  If you roll 1 'ouch!', all military unit tokens in your borough attack you for one damage each.  If you roll 2, all units in your borough attack ALL monsters in your borough.  If 3 are rolled, ALL showing military units on the board attach any monsters in their respective boroughs.  Additionally, that player takes and holds a card that gives them 3 victory points until someone else rolls 3 'ouch!' and steals the card away.

In addition to the dice changes, the 'sitting in Tokyo' mechanic has been slightly altered.  Now, instead of a simple gain of a point or 2 for remaining in Tokyo for a full turn, you have a three step escalation of rewards.  By remaining in Manhattan for a full turn, you get 1 victory and 1 energy.  Stay another full turn, and you'll get 2 v and 1 e.  Stay another full turn and you'll now constantly earn 2 v and 2 e per turn you continue to remain there.  Again, another good enhancement to the risk/reward gameplay.

As already stated, it's a game I'd highly recommend in general.  If you're choosing between the King of Tokyo and King of New York, I would only ever choose Tokyo if you needed to keep things EXTRA simple.  And in that case, I would question if you'd even like Tokyo...

I had this game for the ps2 and I loved it. Of course there were some downsides to being stuck in my room with a strategy rpg in which it takes a good little while to get anything done. This remake of the game for the PSP is a perfect port, or whatever it is you wish to call it. Having it portable so that you can pause for an indefinite amount of time, not worry about it, pick it up and then finish what you were doing, even if it is a week later--not to mention that this is possible anywhere you happen to be--has to be the real way that this game was intended to be played. It's marvelous.

I loved the first version and now this comes out. Pretty awesome game to play and I love every part of it. It's really great to play again and again too.

I spent over 100 hours playing the mentioned N64 classic. I finally got my hands on this and can say it adds better sound and visuals, a great story, and the "on the ground" combat strategy is unique (that I've seen). I look forward to hours of gameplay to come..

Great twist on the classic game.  I actually like this more than the original with better graphics printed on.  The only downside is that they sent 8 character pictures, but only 4 piece holders, so you have to change them out and it is a pain to get them in and out of the holders (takes a screwdriver).

This game is as good as the original :0) but more fun because you have to move a bit. The kids even love it as much as I do, which is hard to come by. I highly recommend this as a great family game.

This game may have had problems when it was released, but the patches seem to have fixed most of it. I am running it on Windows XP 64 bit and the only problem I had was when trying to use the keyboard controls. That sucks, being able to only turn in one direction. However, with an Xbox 360 controller for Windows it plays perfectly; controls work and no glitches. It was designed for console play and it plays great with the Xbox controller. The graphics are not highly advanced, but are much cleaner in this version than on PS2. I played it on PS2 and prefer this version. This game is a classic.
