 A very ignored and underrated Ps2 game December 30, 2004

Maximo Vs The Army of Zin is a great action packed Platformer by the great minds of Capcom. This game is very underrated and sadly it is ignored by many PS2 fans and owners(just look at the amount of reviews this game has on here). This is infact the sequal to Maximo: Ghost to Glory. Now the question is that is this game better then Maximo 1? YES. Maximo Vs Army of Zin is one those rare games when it does better then its predesssor. The game features more action packed gameplay and is just as challenging as the 1st. This time around you are able to save during game. It's still cheap though cause after you save you'll still have all the items and stuff but not the current level you were on.
As I have said before it is a shame this game is being so ignored. It's not even getting any commercials or advertisting when it first hit stores. Heck when this game first came out most gamestores I went to didn't have it but luckily Target had some copies. It's a real shame. Capcom deserves more respect for this game. Maybe it's because it's being ignored by such games like Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe and the Resident Evil series.
The game has a pretty neat story and it's even more cool when you get more powerups and new weapons as you advance in the game. There is a catch of course...some of the better moves you get will take some of your power gauge from you Super Meter away. The Super Meter lets you do all the cool specials and cool combos you do. It's not a hassle though cause you'll gain more power if you fight enough. The game is great in action but the lengh is pretty average you could beat it in less then 16 hours if you just try to beat it in story instead of collecting money to buy new items but it will be hard as heck if you do that. Lets get to it...
Good
-Great visuals
-very underrated Game
-lots of fast pace action
-some cool yet easy puzzles to solve
-20 great levels of pure enjoyment and entertainment
-A story..Well atleast a Story for me that I highly enjoyed...It's rare that I wanna beat a game just to see the Main character get the girl...and this is one of those games.
-Way better then the 1st Maximo
Bad
-A very ignored Ps2 game
-For some people the Puzzles can be really easy
-Some really frustraiting gameplay
-Needs a tad bit more levels
-I find it cheap that you can Save but not on the the current checkpoint..
Overall this is a great game, classic Maximo gameplay that is just as good if not BETTER then the original Maximo. Great Visuals, I really enjoyed the story and even though overall it's not a very long game it's still a great game and that is why I am giving it..

I WAS A BIG FAN OF THE FIRST MAXIMO GAME CALLED '' GHOSTS TO GLORY '' BUT THERE WERE DRAWBACKS TO IT. MAINLY THE EASE AT WHICH YOU CAN PLUMMET TO YOUR DEATH ..BUT THIS FOLLOW UP IS A VAST IMPROVEMENT OVER THE FIRST GAME .NO MORE FALLING TO YOUR DEATH, AND MORE TO KEEP YOU INTERESTED.. ALL THE BOSSES ARE FUN TO FIGHT , AND NOT ALL THAT HARD EITHER.YOUR ENEMIES ARE ROBOTS MADE FOR AN EVIL RULER CALLED '' ZIN '', AND EVEN KING ACHILLES MAKES AN APPEARANCE AS A BOSS TO FIGHT AT THE END OF THE GAME.THE BEST PART OF THE GAME IS THAT YOU CAN TURN INTO YOUR GRIM REAPER COMRADE FROM THE FIRST GAME.AND BOY CAN HE REALLY SLICE THRU THE ENEMIES TOO ! ! ! AND OF COURSE YOU GET MORE UPGRADES ,TREASURE CHESTS TO UNCOVER ,AND TONS OF OTHER GOODIES AS WELL. AND YOU'LL NEED THE COINS TOO, TO BUY STUFF FROM THE PEDDLER . LUCKILY FOR YOU , THE INNOCENTS YOU RESCUE ALONG YOUR TRAVELS GIVE YOU REWARDS AS WELL.THE LEVELS ARE NOT TOO HARD ,AND ARE LOADS OF FUN TO GO THRU TOO.SO PICK UP YOUR COPY TODAY AND HAVE FUN AT PLAYING A REALLY COOL GAME THAT WILL GIVE YOU HOURS UPON HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT...
Classic Gameplay doesn't slow Maximo down one bit! July 24, 2004

Maximo vs. Army of Zin is a grand experience. Quite simply, this game has everything. Great gameplay, exciting levels and an old skool feel to it that some will most definitely appreciate.
Capcom has a way of making a sequel that far surpasses the original. This isn't ture in Maximo. While capcom added to it they didn't try so hard to outdo Maximo: Ghost to Glory. This is a good thing for those who loved the original. But a bad thing because they also don't fix any problems with the previous installment.
Maximo is up against the Army of Zin. An Army inprisoned centuries ago in a great vault have mysteriously been released. Now the Army of Zin has a goal and that goal is to take over the world. Only Maximo can put these beings to rest and banish the Army of Zin forever.
Maximo's gameplay has been improved in this installment. The game consists of about 20 levels, with a boss every four or five levels. In each level he begins with his sword and armor. Pacing through levels has so much more depth to it than the previous one did. Gameplay has new elements and twist to it. Such as Maximo now has to rescue innocent people as well as grab all the treasures and kill all the enemies in the levels. Each level gives you a score based on how many innocents you saved, items you grabed, secret chest and enemies you've killed.
Throughout each level you'll also find peddlers who will sell Maximo items and more abilities. Not only that but Maximo can call on his friend Grim, who is invincible and can deal with Maximo's tougher foes (for the price of a grim gauge that is).
The gameplay also presents Maximo with a new weapon. In accustomed using his sword he can also use an axe that you'll find later on. Both weapons get an elemental property (The sword gets fire while the axe will get ice) and several abilities. Maximo can also use his weapon to help him up ledges.
A few things have also been done to make the game a tad bit easier. For example, Maximo's shield never breaks in this one and if you lose a life you don't lose your abilities.
But that doesn't mean Capcom fixed up everything else. For example, the game still has an elevated difficulty if you're not familiar with the Maximo universe. The other problem is that the bosses are STILL too easy. The levels can be VERY tough but the bosses for some reason... disturbingly easy compared to the rest of the game.
The game is still fun however and while it isn't as grand as the first game it satisfies.
Maximo part Deaux is equally enterntaining! May 2, 2004

Like its predicessor, Army of Zin is one of the most difficult and frustrating games you'll ever love. There were times when I found myself literally screaming at the screen because I wanted to throw my controller through it and hit the monsters on the other side. Capcom really tries (and succeeds) to put the odds against Maximo the majority of the time. There are a few scenes when I wondered how I was able to make it out alive.This time out, Maximo gets to learn new moves from old fighters he meets in battle, and can buy items from some of the street vendors he saves from evil. As difficult as the game is, and it is, Maximo "From Ghosts to Glory" was even more difficult and more frustrating. Graphic and sound quality are above average, but certainly not in the league of some of the greats. But they don't need to be, the game play is outstanding. Conceptually, Maximo blends the best of old school gaming, with new school graphics. A VERY worthwhile purchase, you'll definitely get your money's worth wih this title. Great job Capcom!
