After the disaster of the last Playstation game, Konami brought the series back to its roots, with a 2D adventure that's much closer to what fans expect: "Oedo Daikaiten", or "The Great Revolution of Oedo". Unfortunately, it's a little TOO close - the gameplay is almost exactly the same as Goemon 2 for the Super Famicom. Sure, the levels and storyline are different - you have to strike down the evil King of Recycling - but all of the little touches that were cool about that game just seem, ironically enough, recycled.
You recognize stuff you've already seen and done before - the same mouse robots, same drums that make you jump higher, same overworld map with SD characters - absolutely nothing here is new. Although it uses polygons for the backgrounds, the landscapes are completely flat and lack the depth of Goemon's Great Adventure for the N64. If these aspects didn't seem lazy enough, all of the music is also ripped straight from Goemon's Great Adventure.
And then there are the little quirks that make the game more annoying than it should be. For example, losing all of your lives will take you back to the beginning of the level, instead of the midpoint. The towns are much larger than they should be, and exploring them is aggravating due to the load times that occur every time you enter a house. The only real improvement is that you can switch characters anytime, and Yae is playable (here with a snazzy new outfit.) Since this is pretty much Goemon 2 Redux, it's still an okay game and a reasonable throwback to the SFC era, but you'd expect more from a series that's known for constantly evolving.
