Zorro description

Hardly anyone doesn't know who Zorro. A mysterious hero in a black mask and flowing cloak, a splendid fencer, who always defeated all his enemies and always and everywhere (sometimes on walls and sometimes on the faces of defeated villains) viscousi the letter "Z" - "mark of Zorro". This is probably the first "Superman" in the history of culture from a lot of movies (although the original was a Shocker early XX century). But as hero computer games Mexican hero has never been particularly popular. But two such games still exist, now in front of you is one of them.

To be honest, the plot in movies about Zorro's never been a strong point, and it is clear, because the audience was expecting a completely different. But formally it needs to be, because there are here. At this time, the noble don Diego de La VEGA, you must stop the evil don Cortez, who decided to steal some ancient Indian treasure. And that Zorro begins his journey through the colonial California (which was then still owned by Spain, Mexico), starting in pursuit of the villain and simultaneously grappling with a lot of "bad guys".

Zorro – a typical arcade platformer with a side view so to describe the gameplay is a thankless task. Except that we should note the quite high complexity – many adversaries, and lives you have not. But two faithful and beloved weapons in place – the whip and the sword. But some of the delights of fencing, unlike the same game in 2001, should not wait, but it's certainly logical...

Graphics want to criticize, and to praise. To criticize for not too pretty for 1995 sprite models of characters (though actually looks good, but still would like a little bit better), praise for marvelous and a variety of "backdrops", from the tavern to the abandoned mine. The quality of drawing backgrounds deserves the highest praise.

Sadly, but, probably, it is necessary to recognize the fact that by the time Zorro was already outdated game. He come out three years earlier – would have amounted to more than worthy and strong competitor of the Persian Prince. And so – alas, and remained almost unknown. Despite the game process, the main incentive to play this game is our hero, and if you love Zorro, you should. Well, if names such as Diego de La VEGA, captain Huerta, Sergeant Garcia and others, you do not say, but in terms of graphics, you are spoiled for shaders, you may want to refrain. To play this interesting, but, alas, nothing is really original and amazing, but the entourage, I personally find are not able to.
