24) Micro-Miko If there's anything remotely close to something resembling innovation on this collection (with the exception of the occasional ground-breakingly bad game), it would be found here. For starters Micro-Miko may as well be the first and only game to completely forego the use of the left and right keys on the D-pad. And like essentially all Action 52 titles, this game find no use for the B and Select buttons. The game plays like on of those side-scrolling platformers you see sometimes where if you stand around for enough seconds, you're scrolled right into a bottomless chasm or smashed into a wall. Your sole purpose is to survive, to keep from being scrolled off the screen so you see how this whole 'use no right or left directionals' innovation is actually quit reasonable. Oh, the Micro-Miko still has pretty much all the Action 52 pitfalls (extreme challenge and nonsensical programming for starters), but let's not look a gift horse in the mouth. |
