GAF, How are the Maximo games?

NIGHT-

Just got back from a local game shop and picked both Maximo games for dirt cheap. I know very little about the games, other than that they are supposedly a successor to the Ghost N Goblin games. What am I in for?
 
Oh, you are in for a treat. I haven't played the second, but the original Maximo is a gloriously unique game with a delightfully high difficulty curve.
 
In my middle school years, I used to read the guides at the library all the time. Unfortunately, I never got my hands on one of the actual games.
 
first was great. loved it. not too difficult from what i can remember. some iffy platforming.
never got too far into the second, but it seemed okay.
 
Very challenging like every Ghost and Goblins game should be. Yet they are very fun games to explore. They also have a unique art style that still fits well within the Ghost and Goblins universe. I feel the second one is much more polished and the additions of weapons such as the Hammer of Heroes made the combat more responsive and fun than the first game. Every Ghost and Goblins fan should add these to their collection. Now I wish Capcom would make another game in this series..............
