So I got Medievil off PSN to see what Sir Daniel is all about. I only got a few levels in but I really don't want to play it anymore. Why did so many people want him in this game? He has an ugly design, his ingame moveset and controls sucks, the theme of his game is generic halloween affair, there is no story and thus no characterization outside of the fact that his death was highly acclaimed yet unheroic, the game itself has horrible level and enemy design. I almost never see his games talked about outside of the context of PSAS. His three games got middling scores and sales.
Man I just really don't see it. One of you guys are going to have to explain to me why he is so damned special.
It was one of SCEE's first 1st Party games.
Sir Dan is one of SCEE's first heroes
MediEvil 1 + 2 scored awesome reviews here in europe 85% - 90+%
MediEvil 1 + 2 was awesome during the PlayStation 1 era (Resurrection/PSP has a completely different art style than the PSX versions)
SCEE's Cambridge Studio received a BAFTA Award for it
Sir Dan is f+cking awesome and a legend!!
Enough? ;P
