    The Adventures of Darwin (PS2) Review
    Darwin (PAL) Review
    Simple 2000 Series Vol. 99:
    The Genshijin
    The Primitive Man
    The Simple Series are a collection of low budget, but high ambition video games released in Japan. The number next to the name in the title (2000, for example) represented the price point for each title. So the 2000's series of games cost 2000¥ or around $20.00 USD. These games are super experimental and only a few titles were able to find enough success to break through to the western market. Earth Defense Force and Oneechanbara are the most stand-out titles in this series, but I'm hoping to dig deeper into the catalog of Simple Series titles and bring new attention to these bizarre titles.

    God i remember my dad bringing home this game when i was a kid. One of my favorite games of all time. Wish it had a modern re-release. Doesnt even need any new content just an upscale to the graphics and frame rate

      It is a special game. I enjoyed my time with it and would love to stream it for the channel one day.

    I loved this game when I was a kid! I played all the time then my brother overwrote my save data on my memory card and I lost all of my progress!! I was devastated and never got the will to go back to it.

    • @HikikomoriMedia
      @HikikomoriMedia  4 роки тому +1

      It still holds up. It's a short enough game, that you should give it another try

    • @TheShaleco

      Hikikomori Media yeah maybe I will, I think I still have a working PS2 buried somewhere

    This game has such a good soundtrack. Almost more than it has a right to be.

    The final item you get changes depending on how much you upgraded your village. If your village is fully maxed, you get a crown instead.
    BTW try to check Splatter Master, that one is a decent game from the simple series.

    • @HikikomoriMedia

      KingFossilFER I have splattermaster on the way! look forward to it

    My dad got this years and years ago, I loved it as a kid. Still played it into my early teens, but I haven't seen it in about 6 years. I might get it again if I'm so inclined, I have *a lot* of good memories of this.

    was looking for a review of this game and thats how I found you.
    This funny intro take on Wario Ware Smooth Moves is what made me laugh and subscribe instantly to you. I now hope to see tons more reviews by you on these uncovered PS2 simple series.

    • @HikikomoriMedia

      Charlie Ward check out the other episodes! They get crazy

      I will do thanks. Ive just finished watching Darwin review in full and I must say, it looks like a very interesting game, and yet when I won it in a bundled auction, I thought it was gonna be just a throw-away game. No matter how much of a hardcore gamer you consider yourself to be, do not judge any game just by it's cover. lesson definately learnt.

  • @thorhighheels

    It's weird how some Simple games barely even look or play like Simple games. Like, I haven't played it myself obviously, but it didn't really come across as a low budget title. Alternatively, I played the first Onechanbara (Zombie Zone) yesterday, and it felt like someone tried to sell that one Hack & Slash dream sequence from MGS3 as a full game, without adding much. It wasn't great, This video is though. Great I mean. Great video.

    • @HikikomoriMedia
      @HikikomoriMedia  7 років тому

      Oh I know the quality disparity you speak of. My take is many of the developers for the SS were dirty devs-for-hire that were often splintered groups from the big boy companies like Konami or Capcom, so oftentimes when a major release would happen and they didn't get the call, they would then begin work on their own titles. Sorta what happened with Grasshopper & Clover. During the PS2's heyday, everyone had a small company and believe most shifted over to the wii afterwards.

    • @HikikomoriMedia
      @HikikomoriMedia  7 років тому

      Zombie zone is truly a fascinating case. It's one of the more mediocre titles in the SS, but found huge success and even continues onto this day. EDF deserves the accolades full-stop. These next few episodes will continue to delve into the b-sides of the series and I think I'll cover the BIG GUYS further along the way.

    this does look like a pretty cool one that i never even heard of and its crazy to know that there was still alot of games being released on PS2 after PS3 was released

    • @HikikomoriMedia

      acidonia150 interesting. I thought it would be a FIFA game. shows what I know

    This game looks like a lot of fun. I love the original Pikmin. I don't play it often but I have replayed the game. It's a lot of fun. Anyway really good review. Kind of a twist ending there at the end. I expected the Donald Blade.

    • @HikikomoriMedia
      @HikikomoriMedia  7 років тому

      LPGrodus the original Pikmin sold on me on the GameCube. I love the series, but won't review them here because Nintendo throws copyright claims on everything

    • @LPGrodus
      @LPGrodus 7 років тому

      Shame but I know how Nintendo is. Luckily I haven't gotten any claims on my Super Metroid Review something I expected would happen rather quickly.

    • @HikikomoriMedia
      @HikikomoriMedia  7 років тому

      I could always point my camera at the TV screen and talk over it if you want

    So apparently these guys also either helped or just straight up developed fucking Ghosts n Goblins Resurrection, the Capcom Arcade Stadium, Star Fox Guard, and I guess helped with the development of the RE3 remake???

    Dang, this was an unexpectedly high quality and ambitious game.
    I disregarded it at first based on the cover.

    man. this game looks pretty damn cool. especially for a Simple Series game.
    this is definitely something I need in my Ps2 collection

    • @HikikomoriMedia
      @HikikomoriMedia  7 років тому

      CaptainPsychopath it's running in widescreen progressive with component cables. this is the true power of the ps2

    • @CaptainPsychopath69
      @CaptainPsychopath69 7 років тому +2

      ***** The game is 4:3 only though, so you gotta be careful not to rip its skin
