It has everything a classic game should - good, inoffensive graphics, sturdy controls, and replayability - and it leaves a satisfying cramp in your fingers when you're done.

It’s all about action and reaction, which is almost becoming a dying breed as games move toward stealth, tactics, and exploration.
70
Featuring similar hack and slash gameplay, which has an uncanny knack of being addictive due to its frustrating nature, Maximo is a title that may appeal more to old-school gamers.

One of the my favourite adventure platform, the best with Jak and daxter on ps2.

A challenging game that get frustrating because of it being unforgiving with the check points

A decent modern day adaptation of ghouls & Ghosts. Yet it just does not live to its heritage. However, I did like the humor and all the obvious nods to the original game. Overall: A decent game, but nothing to spectacular.

A true masterpiece...it holds you in its grasp from start to finish, and then you'll probably want to play it all over again. [Mar 2002, p.59]

The challenging action platformer fans have been waiting for, but it's not too tough for newcomers. Excellent. [March 2002, p.94]

This game is a classic. I can't remember the last time I've had this much fun. It's nice to have game that that executes platforming well. Easily a must buy.

Ultimately, if you approach this with an open mind, you'll discover a well-designed and deeply engaging piece of software.

A perfect complement to Maximo's music is its sound effects. Everything from sword and shield clashes to more subtle ambient noises are excellent.

Don't forget to bring your patience though because Maximo's poorly implemented camera system, semi-cheap enemy placement at the end of jumps, and save system may be the difference between you liking this game, and you hating this game.

Comparing the game to "Jak & Daxter," the control is noticeably less intuitive.

This hack and slash was so fun back in the day, and its high amount of difficulty and strategy required make you want to approach this game with caution.
