lots of character in this game... there was a short list of people in the credits, so you know they could actually have some artistic input. a fun play-through from a different era of game design

Read This Review!

One of the PlayStation greats which is completely underrated. This game is a must have. It is a classic hack and slash adventure game but by no means could this be considered a mature game. It has a dark feel to the game which some call a gothic feel which I can definitely see. The game is superbly spooky in a kid friendly way which adults will enjoy as well. The dark feel of this game and the fun adventure play is so great with the lights out and you can just zone in and have fun. I don't understand why this isn't considered one of the best games on PlayStation. Don't let the dated graphics and movement (only d-pad) allow you have a bad experience. Appreciate the game for what it is and you will walk away having played a great game. I so strongly urge you to play this game.Read full review...

Better remembered than played....

I've found this nifty "classic" at a flea market and decided to give it a shot. What I can say is that this game is very overrated & extremely difficult, even where it shouldn't. Here's what to expect:

THE GOOD: The creepy tone, dialogue, and many of the FMV scenes are really interesting (some comic) and are what makes this game memorable.

THE BAD:
(1) THE CAMERA: This is your #1 worst enemy. In many places, it won't face forward so that you can make a safe run. In fact, it will "rotate" on you in many places, making you fall to your death! I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY LIVES I LOST DUE TO THIS! Don't expect it to be friendly like Sypro--the camera is just awful.

(2) HORRID DIFFICULTY: Even in the first levels, you'll be taking a lot of damage per attack. Later on, you constantly get swamped with several enemies attacking all at once. I just can't see how you can survive much without some kind of cheating. There's no body armor you can get in the game.

(3) TOO MUCH EXACT JUMPING: There are far too many jumps that require you, over a short run, require you to hit the directional twice (to run) & hit the jump button in time at the right time. Expect to keep losing tons of lives & repeating levels. Hardcore players may not have much problem with this, but for everyone else this is endless frustration!

I was only able to finish this game by activating the Cheat mode within the game. Only then was I able to get through this horrid game. As of this writing I'm selling off this game for good :(Read full review...

This was always one of my favorite PlayStation games.

I had bought two Playstation 1's when they first came out, I guess it was back in the early 90's. But, of course, the Playstation 2's came along and I could only afford one of those, but my daughter had a friend whose family didn't have a lot of money, so we decided to give them one of our PS 1's. And, we gave them some games with it, but I still had my MediEvil game at that time. As a matter of fact, I even had MediEvil 2 by then, so we kept some games for ourselves cause you could play them on the PS 2 as well. We ended up giving the 2nd PS 1 to my Mother, because she lived alone and she loved to play Crash Bandicoot games, so we gave her all of those, too. My daughter became really sick, and had to have heart surgery, and somewhere amidst all the chaos, we lost a lot of our Playstation games, taking them back and forth to the hospital, they would get broken or left in the car and warped,and somehow my 2 MediEvil games were lost as well. My daughter likes to play these games like Resident Evil and others in that genre,(and I thought MediEvil was wacked!) So, I stopped playing for years. Our PS2 wouldn't play any of the PS1 games anymore, so then my daughter became a Wii fanatic.I pretty much thought my game playing days were over,(she's 19, I'm a young 52.)Well, browsing around on ebay a couple of weeks ago, I not only found a copy of MediEvil,in excellent condition, but a used Playstation 1, with all the accessories,also in excellent condition, so I am happy to say that I am now back in the ranks of the gamers again.I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when everything arrived! So, anybody out there looking for that piece of your past, if you find it on ebay, by all means, BUY IT!!! Ebay has a great buyer protection plan that covers you from start to finish, so go for it!! I couldn't be happier if I had won the lottery! And with ebay's convenient search feature, just type in exactly what you're looking for, and if it's out there, you'll see it!! I'm going to continue to look for PS1 games on ebay. Because, finding this game was like a dream come true for me!!Read full review...

An Adventure You'll Never Forget

MediEvil is a game that takes place around the Medieval times, much like it's name. You are a warrior that was killed by the first arrow shot in battle. It strikes you right in the eye and that's the end of Sir Daniel Fortesque's heroic battle. Sir Dan is layed to rest in a sort of coffin-tomb for many years. While he is dead, the evil wizard Zarok (who looks like a woman but is actually a man, really) is busy corrupting the world you live in and bringing the dead back to life. Finally, some sort of magic is imbued in Sir Dan's body and he is *magically* resurrected. He seeks vengeance on the evil wizard Zarok and his army for killing and humiliating him in battle. It's then that you (the player), take control of Sir Daniel Fortesque to give Zarok his just deserts.

The game is rather short (about 20 hours or so), but quite challenging at certain parts. There are many puzzles and plenty of fighting. There's also various weapons to unlock to make your adventure easier. The graphics of the game may not be top-notch, but considering that it came out in 1998, the graphics are quite astounding. Overall, an excellent game that you won't forget. A must-buy for any gamer that owns a Playstation, Playstaion 2, or even a Playstaion 3.Read full review...

medievil review

hellow ebay buyers, this is a review of one of the best psx games ever. you play as sir daniel fortesque a brave knight that they said led the army of gallowmere to fight the evil sorcerer zarok from rowling the world. they said that sir dan beat zarok, but was him self mortely wunded and died. during the game you find out that Dan did lead the army of gallomere however he was the first one to die in the fight. zarok is now back and resurrecs a undead army, and acsedently revives sir dan. now sir dan has to difeet zarok ones and for all. this game is filled with lots of action and puzzels. one thing i love about this game is its voice acting its kind of over the top but it is apropret for every thing in this game. another thing i like is the levels every level feals like it is coustom made for the game so you dont fell like you are playing the same level every time. you will also incowter some miny movies. the movies have ecselent grafics for a psx game. one thing that is not so grate about the game is its graficis they look poor but if you play it for 5 minetes you wont notes a thing. another thing that i dont like the games bad controls you cant use the anolog stick you have to use the derectinole pads wich is ok but some times i wish you coud use the anolage stick. this was the first game i have ever played and it is my favoret game ever. but anuf medievil is just about fun,fun,fun and i realy recemen this game if you have a psx or a ps2 go buy this game and if you dont have a psx or a ps2 go but one so you can play this game. MEDIEVIL ROCKS !!!!!!!!!Read full review...

A medieval knight raised from the dead must prove his valor as a hero once and for all.

Excellent game for ps1 era nostalgia. Clunky but it still has its charm
