This is a review of Hugo: CannonCruise for the PS2 and PC. It was developed and published by ITE Media and released in 2004. This marks the second video in my Hugo PS2 retrospective series and the question is, is it better than Hugo's first outing on the PS2?

I'm extremely late, but since I'm writing a sort of thesis on Hugo the reason why there's no cutscenes was most likely because they ran out of money. The owner of ITE, Ivan, had left his company to management around 1998 since he was going to America, and management had artificially inflated the price of the company without actually making any money or ever selling it, and because Ivan lived so far away they missed out on the company being bought for 80 million, so the company crashed financially around the 2000s. (yes only two years later.) Ivan had to take a deal with Olicom which led to them being "co-owners" but instead they actually just did shit to the brand that made it financially worse and then in 2002 bought Ivan out of the company entirely since they "didn't agree". That was in 2001, so they were struggling a lot when it came to 2004. I'm going to write a bit about Canon Cruise since it's newsletter release was the last time Hugo had any "major" search results in Denmark. (100 searches... Which is better than what's afterwards) so thanks for this video lol

Wow really? I mean I can see why in a way with it having quite good graphics and a good core idea, but I've enjoyed all of the other Hugo games I've played more than this one. That could be an interesting series to look at. Maybe eventually I'll get around to it. I remember enjoying Nitro Rad's videos about Kao.

@PixelPursuit

I had this game as a kid, but I never finished it. I always thought it was because the game was in english so I didn't know what to do, but after watching this video I think I could've just gotten too bored to finish it.
@PixelPursuit
@PixelPursuit 5 лет назад
I really wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people who played this thought they were doing something wrong and got bored with trying and then turned it off. It's extremely repetitive and boring to get through!

@@PixelPursuit Well I checked on youtube if I could find a finnish video on this game to see if it did have a finnish option, and it actually did. So I guess that means my memory of the game being in english was false, and I just picked the english option at some point and remembered that. But I guess this just confirms I probably did get too bored or confused to ever finish this game. Also this is probably my nostalgia speaking, but the finnish voice for Hugo in Hugo 1 and 2 was so much better than the english one. I feel like if I had had to listen to the english voice when I played as a kid, I probably would've also gotten annoyed of his constant talking.
@PixelPursuit
@PixelPursuit 5 лет назад
Haha, yeah in that case then you probably did just get bored with it and give up. It did take me quite a lot of willpower to get through it to be honest. I had to take breaks after an hour or so of playing otherwise it would have been too much! Yeah, so many people have said that the Finnish version of Hugo's voice is a lot better, so it might not just be nostalgia!

@@PixelPursuit , so, I've done it. I can see the autoleveling of enemies, making them almost iron in the final of the game even with maximum of canon power up. But at least, it makes you think instead of reckless breaking through the enemy fleet and shooting....IDK, it's up to the gamer how he/she thinks about it but, IMHO, when the game makes you think in the slightest, then it stops being boring :D P.S. I can't believe ITE Media, the studio that was making mediocre games inspired by the other popular ones managed to make good game, which is competitive, when compared to the Sea Dogs series... in terms of visual but hey, who cared about the plot and quests, after all....

@@PixelPursuit , are you nostalgic about the Hugo series? I think that aspect is significant to the players. If yes, then these games are just... meh or good, if no, then they're bad, mediocre or smth between. For someone, Hugo was the important part of life (there were educational Hugo games, which were pretty... interesting :D)
@PixelPursuit
@PixelPursuit 5 лет назад
Yeah, I suppose you do have a slight element of tactics, but that tactic seems to always just be either to hide behind something, peek out and shoot, or just move left and right slightly and hope for the best as you sail into your enemies. It's not the most tactics driven game ever, but yeah, it's there slightly I suppose haha. I just found it far too slow paced and repetitive. I haven't ever played Sea Dogs, so I can't say it compares, but if CannonCruise is better, I probably wouldn't like it. I am nostalgic for the very first PS1 Hugo game, that's the only one I ever played or even knew existed when I was a kid. So no, I'm not nostalgic for the overall series. Even if I was though I feel like I'm pretty good at getting past my nostalgia in my reviews and looking at it for what it is. I've heard about these Hugo educational games before, I imagine they're awful, but I've never really looked into them all too much! :D
