A reasonably good remake of the old NES game, with improved graphics (up to TG-16 era) and debatably improved sound. I liked the way it was 70% old, 30% new, and the greater focus on story. Talking to Eve repeatedly during each area to get more story details was a really neat feature.

Blaster Master Zero is not a nostalgic or classical game, it is simply an action game for NES developed in this day and age: things that happen when you respect a certain vision of video gaming so much that you don't use it for a pandering exercise in style. Inti Creates proves once again that it can handle the bitmap with great skill, simply using it to build a game and not so much to please nostalgic or artistic instincts, making the most of the already excellent base offered by the original and improving it even further. Although it does not present particularly memorable moments of challenge, its multifaceted structure makes it always interesting and for the price at which it is offered one of the best titles currently available on today's consoles. Truly a great way to bring back that strange title from Sunsoft, half-forgotten among the glories of the NES.

The lack of quick travel was annoying
