Personal review
A sequel to an older arcade game from Capcom. Instead of a simple action game "Higemaru Makaijima: Nanatsu no Shima Daibouken" is more some sort of Action-Adventure similar to The Legend of Zelda. First you start the game on a ship and you have to find pirate ships, beat the captain to obtain a key, giving you access to islands. The gameplay on the pirate ships is pretty similar to the arcade prequel. You kill enemies by picking up and throwing barrels at them. The islands themselves are quite different from each other, featuring different graphics, enemies and music, which is good for a game from 1987. Not only must you kill all the island bosses but you also have to find different items and find out clues how to open up formerly unaccessible areas. So there is a good chunk of adventure component in here as well. I wasn't able to finish the game because I couldn't find a special ghost ship on the ocean even after searching for it over an hour. Sailing around and finding stuff (ships, island entrances) is the major negative point about this game. Without a map you will find yourself pretty lost.
