Bloody Wolf

My friend gave me a suggestion to download it from Wii's VC. I did, and am I ever glad. Few games today have the story of "The president's been kidnapped, here's a gun, fuck shit up". And that's literally all you do in the game, shoot the ever living crap out of waves and waves of faceless nazis.
Game play
It's a mix of Contra, with the absurd amount of carnage and limited health bar, and Metal Gear, with weird bosses that usually have some gimmick to them. That's really the best way to describe it as the game kind of centers around the fact that you just have to destroy what ever is in your way, it's a very manly game. The game gets more 90's by making a motorcycle a power up and making it so you can drive said motorcycle into buildings. With the main machine gun, made easier with the Turbo-Grapix 16's turbo button, you also get grenades which can take out many soldiers at once. The soldiers are actually very varied as well too. There are regular grunt, grenade grunts, red ones with the incentive to run up and stab you, machine gunners, super soldiers, armored ones that can only be taken out with a knife, motorcycle hippies, and even yellow ones that try and commit suicide by blowing up in your face. The game has so many fucking soldiers though that it actually causes the game to slowdown. I once counted 22 fucking soldiers on the screen, half of which were shooting at me. Luckily, with your various upgrades, like a spread gun like shotgun and absurd machine gun bazooka, these guys usually go down pretty fast.
Sound
Usually with older games, the soundtrack is nothing special. This is not the case with bloody wolf. It's very obnoxious and makes you feel like your Rambo out to rape a virgin or something. It just explodes off the screen and a lot of the time I was tapping my toe along with the beat until the music was over shadowed by me yelling at the fact that most of the bosses will beat you down 3 times before you even realize what you are supposed to do.
The first sub boss in the game, simply named "Shotgun Man"
Presentation and Style
As the above images show, it makes you feel like your in a jungle camp fighting off waves and waves of dumb ass soldiers. There is actually a lot of platforming involved though. One level has you rafting down a river, others have you jumping over logs and one that will drive you mad has you drudging through a swamp killing scuba divers. It's not a simple run and gun and the effort shows. I can't say much about them, since defending a game with 16 bit graphics is harder than it seems as every explosion looks exactly the same, but for it's time, I bet people were shitting bricks when they saw the amount of people on the screen at once. There is even a free roaming stage that requires you to find 16 hostages, complete with a knife fight with a crazy Japanese guy.
Yes, hostages, as seen on the roof, do all look like Hitler
Re playability
It's only 8 levels, but they are all very fun and challenging. Your likely to come back just to beat it in an afternoon or to take out a submarine with a machine gun to make you feel more like a man. I can at least see myself coming back to it to play the fast mode, which apparently makes the bosses harder.
God damn I hate Nazis
Overall
It's 6 fucking dollars. Takes about a minute to download and will have you smiling the whole way through, while it is short, it is fun.
8/10

You all owe it to yourselves to buy it, I'm probably going to again just because I'm too lazy to get out said Turbo Grafix

They also made the robocop games. If you love bloody wolf, you'd probably love the robocop games too.
I may just buy this.
I'll try and check them out, considering they are probably rare now.

It is hard as hell, but they give you unlimited continues in the room you left off in. This is nice, but you have to remember that the game is impossible otherwise.

Make sure you try Robocop vs Terminator.
And, if by some cosmic twist, you have an 8088 or similarly compatible IBM PC with EGA graphics and you can find a hook up, get the old-ass PC version of Robocop. It's not a port nor did it appear any where else and it's fucking GODLY.
I seem to remember a really good Robocop game on the C64 too...

Also the Robocop games were fucking awesome.
You should buy it, makes you want to eat jerky. It's that manly.

I will consider this as a possible next VC purchase. I just kicked Contra 4's (and subsequently Contra Shattered Soldier) ass. This may be my next target..

The above quote is limed in my mind, so lime it in yours, too.
Sold.
Hate to sound stupid, but OP? What would that be?

Original Post.
so if I say, "what a great OP," that means, the first post creating the thread was good. If I say, "the OP was referring to blah blah," I'm talking about the forumer who made the first post of the thread.

Oh, why thank you, I've been doing reviews for a while. I did everything from Sunset Riders to Psychonauts.

This game reminds me of how awesome my uncle was.
Wish my uncle was cool like that.

"Bloody Wolf - Get the hot bullets of shotgun to die!"
I should have mentioned it, but I really didn't read anything while playing the game, I just killed. I think around 2000 men won't go home to their families after that 8 stage trip.

It has so much action, my god. It's as though someone put 50 pounds of beef jerky on a video game maker and it just made Bloody Wolf.

Has that game(Robocop AC) ever been beaten? I don't think I ever saw the second boss, much less the final level.
