Eee?

Ristar is litle known SEGA's game made by Sonic team in 1995.
It's a game for SEGA Genisis/Mega Drive, and by gamespot it's highest rated game for SEGA Mega Drive.
It's a classic 2-D platformer, with great story, music and gameplay.
It's considerd SEGA's masterpiece.

Now my personal view:
It's best game SEGA's ever made. It has perfect gameplay, not too easy, levels are challenging, you'll lost live or two, but it' isn't imposible.
Music is great, and goes with every level themes.
Levels have original themes, they are overall very colorful and joyful to play, they are not too long, but not too short.
Story is simple, but interesting.
On boss levels there are no endless loops (like in most of older games, and in some new games), althow you've pass game cople times, bosses can suprise you with some new combination of attacks you've never seen.

Ristar acctualy shouldev been Sonic game.... it's a long story....and I'll tell it :T14:
When SEGA had to respond to Nintendo's Mario, 1st concept was a rabbit with long ears (didn't even have a name) who would grab objects & his enemies and slingshot himself into them. While developing the game, gameplay beacome too fast, and it didn't look very good. Yuji Naka had in his head a concept of a character that could roll himself into ball and deafet enemies, and hedgehogs could roll themselfs into ball, so character for game beacome hedgehog who could roll himself into ball, and they named him Sonic The Hedgehog.
So... now SEGA's team whitch created 1st Sonic game (later called Sonic Team) had one complete character but it couldn't fit into high speed Sonic games... so they keep developing that character whitch eventualy replace his streaching ears with streaching arms, and eventualy replace rabbit with a star and call it Ristar The Shooting Star. But it still didn't fit into Sonic games, so they made it's own game.
Game isn't well known despite it's great beacose SEGA and Sonic Team focused on Sonic games, and it's promotion, so Ristar ( not acctualy beeing a Sonc game) was published and put on market bearly noticed.

I'm kinda sad that there is only one Ristar game, but kinda glad in the same time there isn't:
Sad: It was a great game (by my oppinient, best game SEGA's ever made), and I'd like more Ristar
Glad: 1st game was great, and there's big posibility SEGA would rouend it by makeing a bad game, ant it's kinda good that it stays in memory as great game.

Ristar is available on SEGA Genisis/Mega Drive, SEGA Game Gear, Wii Virtual console, and in Sonic Mega Collection (Plus) as unlockable game.
