Solomon's Key

Graphics: 3 out of 10
Sound: 3 out of 10
Gameplay: 6.5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 7.5 out of 10
Overall: 7 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics aren't really that good at all. If I remember right,
this game was a port from the old Sega system and that would explain
why they are so awful.
Sound: Even though the music gets extremely repetitive since there are
a ton of levels and only one song, that song has a really good tune. The
sound effects are also repetitive but good.
Gameplay: The gameplay is actually very good. It's a puzzle game where
you lay down blocks with a wand in order to collect a key and then open
a door. There's not much else to this game except that the controls are
very good (maybe your character moves too slowly) and also that the
game is very big.
Hardness factor: Enemies come out of doorways that are placed around
the room, so if you don't hurry up you'll get overwhelmed. It gets very
hard towards the last quarter of the game and will take a long time
to get past levels.
Overall: 7 out of 10. One of the best puzzle games for the NES (and
Game Boy for that matter) in my opinion.
