    Alex Kidd, SEGA’s forgotten mascot that preceded Sonic, returns in a remastered version of the 1986 plartformer. Miracle World DX is faithful to the original game but some new features (e.g. the option to disable the lives limit) made it easier. Although pretty, enhanced graphics failed to convince me completely, as softened edges, noticeably lower contrast, and new foreground objects (that sometimes obscure the action) are a bit confusing. It’s also a shame that you need to complete the game to unlock the classic mode. [09/2021, p.46]

    The developers did a wonderful job at faithfully remastering a legacy game but the truth is that the original game wasn't that great. A great purchase for Sega fans and for those who want to own a piece of gaming's history but there are a lot of other great platformers out there.

    Both true to its original foundation and distant in its changes, Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is arguably not the remake fans of the character could hope for. Some will think the progression is out of date, and they won't be wrong, but the biggest problem is imprecise controls and collisions with enemies. With its very colorful production and quality musical themes, the experience remains correct, but less striking than expected.

    Though it has all of the hallmarks of a solid remake, Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX likely sticks a bit too close to the subject matter to resonate with a modern audience. Don't let the lush visuals fool you. It's unapologetically brutal design, combined with control issues and unexplained mechanics galore, all make for an uneven and unrecommendable experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Brilliant Game everything I asked for. As an AlexKidd fan I'm very happy. Why it Succeeded 1. Beautiful Graphics 2. Beautiful Cutscenes 3. Great Gameplay 4. Brilliant Animation 5. Elating Music and Sound Effects 6. Teaches people to play Rock, Paper, Scissor nowadays 7. Great Story feels different more Mario game and Story making it Iconic Although Dying Animation doesn't really bother me at all, maybe on Emulator. It's good returning the Alex Kidd game because  people would remember the characters and how it should've sell. Especially the Fact I want to hear people talk good about this game


    Overall 10/10    … Full Review »

    After playing it for a while I can say that's not perfect, but not that bad. Alex Kidd fans will enjoy it for sure.
