In any case, there >were two Monkey King games for the psx, both being Japanese imports. One >is a 2-D fighting game called "Magic Beast Warriors," an early psx game >that didn't get great reviews but had a fierce, cool-looking monkey >standing in front of an all-enlightening Buddha on the cover. The second >game is called something along the line of "Journey to the West," a Super >Mario World-like cutesy platformer, released last summer with so so >reviews. In terms of gameplay, both are not exceptional, if not awful. In >terms of Monkey King fan collectors item, well, it all depends on how rich >and how avid you are. I wouldn't bother with either of them personally. >But, then again, I'm not an avid fan, I just like the story of the >Legendary Journey to the West. Hopefully, some company will come around >(like Namco, Square, or Koei) and realize the potential for a great game >and realize my dream for a great, beautiful Monkey psx game. > >You should note though that all that I've heard about these game are from >second hand sources. > >By the way, have you tried reading the unabridged version of Journey to the >West (there's like 3 or 4 volumes, 600 pages each). Although dry at times, >it's humourous nevertheless. The abridged "Monkey" is wonderful. I wish >someone would turn it into a full featured CG or animated film(s).
