Whoever came up with the idea that Gods were a teriffic platformer shouldn't have been handed the game in the first place. The idea seemed to spread as fast as the virus/worm Melissa did, and I've just never heard anything "bad" about that game.
Gods... I just don't get the brilliance of the game! It has got jerky scrolling. The controls are not good at all, no, they are sluggish and not as repsonive as one would prefer concerning the wast amounts of monsters one has to avoid at certain points. Not to mention just getting through the terrain. What Gods according to me has to offer are nice looking graphics and a nice title tune. And that doesn't really make my game.
It is not that I find it a really bad game, but there are just so many other games that are way much more original and pleasant to play.
Besides, I hate Bitmap Brothers for not understanding that SMOOTH SCROLLING could add SO MUCH to a game. Let's see... Xenon... jerky... Gods... jerky... Speedball 2... jerky... The Chaos Engine... jerky... the list goes on forever. What was their problem? It wasn't like the games were too advanced to scroll smoothly. If The Chaos Engine would have had perfect scrolling I would without doubt place it in my Top 20 list over the best Amiga games ever.
