MoneySeize


Comparing Sir Reginald MoneySeize II Esq. to Mario in Donkey Kong
Sir Reginald is a fat man with a top hat, and is the protagonist in the game MoneySeize. Similar to Mario in Donkey Kong, Sir Reginald dies in a single hit when he comes into contact with any other living thing within the game.

Controls/Movement
I found the controls in MoneySeize quite comfortable however i felt the actual movement system in game was quite hard to use. Unlike Mario, Sir Reginald has different maneuvers you can take advantage of in game which allow you to get to places you wouldn't be able to otherwise. Mechanics such as the ability to perform a double jump or the fact he can jump off walls. I felt these also added an element of skill and timing as you had to have both of these to utilise the extra mechanics efficiently and correctly. These two skills are also applicable with Mario in Donkey Kong.

Gameplay
The gameplay of MoneySeize was quite smooth and the level design was quite impressive and unique. Each level has 25 coins to collect, including hidden ones w
hich were sometimes not obvious to the eye and required you to do something within the level for them to appear. The most frustrating aspect of the game is that when you die, you lose all of the coins that you have collected inside that level and you have to start the level again. However, I really liked how different each level was to each other because it kept you interested as there was new objects and ways to get around each level.
