This is a bright colorful game featuring a little guy in the
shape of a star, named Ristar. This was originally on the Sega Genesis
in 1995; however you can still play it without a Genesis on Sonic’s
Ultimate Genesis Collection available on PS3 and Xbox, which comes with a
multitude of other games. Ristar is a 2D platform style game set on
other planets, whose leaders have been mind controlled by an evil space
pirate. What I found a bit weird about it was that Ristar has a grab
ability and his arms are sort of stretchy so you can grab onto things
and propel yourself in multiple directions or maybe forced to grab on to
object above you to avoid spikes and other hazards. This took me a
little getting used to but there is something like that in every game.
This is also how he attacks; grab an enemy, pull it toward you and
pretty much head-butt it, which is amusing. I had played Sega Genesis
back in the 1990’s but did not know about this one till fairly recently,
and because of this it had a nice old and new feel to it. Overall it’s a
really fun game and I would suggest it to other players who enjoy 2D
platformers.
