Maximo: Ghosts to Glory | Brutally Hard, but I Love It 

I found your channel just a week ago and I'm loving your content! Ps2 and psp libraries are full of hidden gems.

This video has this feel to me like I'm watching a much more established RU-vidr; the cadence, music, icon, jokes, and overall vibe feels like he's been doing this a while and I really enjoy it. Love your style and sound. Subbing for sure.

Loved Maximo back in the day and it's sequel, I recently retried playing it and found myself thinking "How the hell did I beat this as a kid?" I still like to listen to the OST when playing Dark Souls.

I just have to say your logo for your channel being a dog wearing knight armor and a playing with a PlayStation controller is probably one of the best images I've ever seen. But I'm gonna sub for sure, for someone with such low subs your videos are super well done, good job!

i have to give correction on the save problem. There is pool of teleporting and saving which is i believe 100 coins or a diamond, saying "You can save only at the boss" is somewhat true. Which mostly ingored the fact there was a save feature in the game but as much the same grape about the save feature. Lucky in Maximo VS Army of Zen did rework a bit and...the last of the Maximo series. Wanted point this out.

The Reaper is self employed, needs to protect his monopoly

SOFIA! Thats a deep cut.

It's a Ghosts n Goblins game, of course it's going to be brutal!

This was my favorite game growing up to an extent I actually burnt through 3 copies of it, each breaking quicker than the last. For whatever reason my fat old PS2 eats discs with a blue back like copy paper, they'll work maybe once or twice before the machine stops reading them entirely. As for the difficulty, I want to underline that Maximo isn't just "of its time" hard, Maximo itself is just hard as hell. I'm not of the personal opinion it's due to any single thing, but moreso a blend of little things that only cascade as it continues. I will say tho, I did at least get further in it than I did in Pac-Man World 2. Maximo can at least hit someone standing right in front of him, Pac-Man either has to bowl into them or crush them with his dumper and both handle about as well as they sound. Even that being said, I can't say I dislike that game either. Both Maximo and Pac-Man were among my favorites back in the day, and still are to this day even, but I've always had a bit of a masochistic streak in myself, so take of that what you will.

I got this game when we bought a Sony Playstation 2 game console. The game's graphics was nice, but the difficulty was a bit too hard compared to Ghouls 'n Ghosts. I have tried again so many times until I reached the last level. Still, I enjoyed going through the levels of this game and learning the various combat skills. 🙂

You should play the next game in the series: Maximo vs. The Army of Zin. It was a much better game with all the gameplay mechanics and camera controls the first was missing. The levels have a lot of cool variety (and give me a “Dwarven Dwemer” vibe from Skyrim). It also ends with a killer cliff hanger that will never be realized because Capcom canceled the planned trilogy.

Currently playing through Super Ghouls n Ghosts I think I will be enjoying Maximo a lot when I try it if it has a similar feel

I like your content you get a sub my friend

Kinda reminds me of MediEvil from ps1 (which probably has some inspiration from GnG) will have to try this game out one day

I can't remember which game I had but the box had an ad for this game and i always was curious what it was

Man counterstrike for kids is a deepcut, Also genuinely great video.

Is Maximo a 3D Ghost and Goblins? I think I heard of this game before. These guys never fuck up. Oh they have with making a DMC game that nobody asked for. 1:05 The AVGN did mention that they finished having sex. 1:42 Well, somebody has to do it. 5:49 Is your head on backwards? 7:56 What an awful save system.

Great video! I’m going to need to fire this game up again soon

U can save in between every level just pay 100 coins

Το γεγονός ότι κατάλαβα ότι είσαι Έλληνας από την προφορά και όχι από την ποιότητα του βίντεο λέει πολλά. Κιπ ιτ απ, σου αξίζουν πολλά περισσότερα σαμπς

“You can’t control the camera.” Yeah, it’s a PS2 game. “Unforgiving for no reason... “ and “... godawful controls... “Yeah, it’s a _Ghosts ‘n Goblins_ game. I honestly don’t know what folks who review games are expecting when giving no consideration to the era, machines, genres, and series’ from which games they review come. Did you expect it to be easy with flowing controls and the kind of camera control you see in later PS3 games? 🤦‍♂️ It’s not about “gittin’ gud”; it’s about understanding what to expect, given all the context cues, not expecting that a game made in the early 2000s will play like a game from the 2020s... 🙄

i like 'Maximo'.

I had this game as a kid and couldn't remember what it was called. Thank you.
