Monkey King for wii...is cloud master for sega master system

[Jrecee]

So I was browsing the budget wii game aisle at bestbuy and came across "Monkey King". Never heard of it. I looked at the back and saw a monkey riding a cloud and thought it looked a lot like Cloud Master for the master system. Sure enough, it's a remake. It was only $15, but I doubt I'll go back and buy it. I've already got the master system version.

Also worth mentioning is some of the most misleading boxart I've seen since the early 90s. It brings me back to the days of megaman's god awful "realistic" cover among other covers that bear little resemblence to the cartoony games within. The cover of monkey king:

I got it for $3 at a used games store. Never got around to playing it.

I remember when I worked at Target I saw this all the time in the discount game chunk of our electronics dept. I never really thought too much of it, but I think its neat that its a remake of a Master System game

Its a shmups and very short. You can beat it in 4 hrs. But its only $4.99 used at gamestop and PlaynTrade so why not try it out.

This game blows

Do not even waste a DVD-R

One of the worst games on wii along with the clone SAINT.

What a bunch of garbage!

I own the master system version and it's a fun game. For $20 it might be overpriced and it doesn't have the collectability of an 80s game, but if someone found it used for $5 it'd probably be worth it. Although the review I read said that you can slow down/speed up which I personally think would destroy a lot of the challenge that comes from automatically scrolling shooters.

They're both based off the legend of Sun Wukong.
