Video Game Review: Zero The Kamikaze Squirrel


Oh boy! It's been about a month and a half since my last post. I'm totally gonna try to get into the habbit of posting more frequently. So here is a review for the SNES game (also available on Genesis) Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel. The fact that a game like this was even made boggles my mind. You play as a squirrel wearing a rising sun headband ( I have to admit I at one point not only had won but wore it) who goes around throwing ninja stars at badguys. These badguys are made up of giant scorpions, robots, and even dorky-looking guys with bladed propeller caps. The whole game seems kind of weird. The strangest (read scariest) part of the game is in the beginning Zero talks to his boss/friend/whatever who is an evil clown. Not to say that all clowns are evil (they are), this one had a mean grimace, black eyes, and a spiked choker necklace. It is bizarre to say the least. In conclusion, the mediocre gameplay and sound combined with the freaky characters and premise make this game not really worth playing. Actually you should play it once to see the intro with the clown. Creepy.
