Editorial Review: Product Description: ActRaiser combines side-scrolling action with world-building strategy set within a fantasy realm. As a deity called The Master, your task is to overthrow evil forces by reclaiming your land and amassing a population of followers. Action sequences allow you to possess a warrior statue, using its sword and magical attacks to destroy evil in six lands, while the simulation mode consists of clearing out deserts or swamps, constructing cities, and keeping their populations safe. While neither mode is the height of its respective genre, the unique combination and a beautifully orchestrated soundtrack result in an engrossing and enjoyable adventure. ~ Geoffrey Douglas Smith, All Game Guide Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of the best SNES games of all time.No really. ActRaiser is up there with games like "Super Metroid", "Super Mario World" and "Axelay". What's cooler than fighting monsters as a statue imbued with the power of God? Or building a civilization and fighting monsters as a little naked angel? Not much. A great story, great graphics and fluid controls make this game as close to perfect as a video-game can get. A definite must-have for any self-respecting SNES owner. Rating: - You don't like me, huh? here's some sun to burn you, and some wind to blow you away!Yeah, I had trouble coming up with a decent introduction line. How can I explain what ActRaiser is like? Honestly, I don't have ANY experience with simulation type games. This is the only one I have ever played, and it's not even completely sim according to all the reviews! It's only part sim! When I was a young kid and the Super NES was just released, I loved looking through the pictures in this one big gaming magazine I had, and seeing which games I wanted to buy. This is one ... Read More Rating: - Best of Two WorldsI love this game so much, and have for years. It has two modes which are just so awesome. First, you have the side-scroller/action stages. These are awesome and a good deal of them require a decent amount of skills. Then there is the city-building/sim mode. It's so fun to play, but I've been told the sim part is boring to watch. However, you're out on a mission to save the people and your world from demons and evil Gods. You encounter all kinds of neat scenarios in the world you preside ... Read More Rating: - I like Actraiser, a lot.I've always thought Actraiser was one of the better games released on the SNES. The building portion of the game is a lot like SimCity (if I remember correctly), which I always enjoyed so if you don't like that you might not like this game. The action part was kind of like Castlevania. First you do an action level, then you build, then boss-action, then action, then build, etc. Once you beat it the first time you can play just the action levels again. I thought it was pretty impressive graphically ...
