Ninja Gaiden, REDUX, the movies Gorosaurus has released have been of high quality, and Lock 'n Load 2 shows off his unfinished work. It is not often I watch a compilation like this, but Goro does it in a rather more interesting way. Instead of continuously watching his work, a little story has been put in. Two guys decide it would be a great idea to cut and paste bits of Goro's old work in to create a movie, and at times, it was funny.

I just found it quite funny seeing Ashtar and Hench trying to make something decent from Goro's work. I presume the clips weren't originally meant to be funny, but the way they were added into the movie was very well done. I smiled at the way Gorosaurus has cleverly managed to make some of his animations entertaining and sometimes funny. Genius. The voice-acting also helps, creating a more light-hearted comical atmosphere. The comments from the two lunatics are generally great to listen to, with some hilarious lines in to make you laugh. And what about Goro's work? Well, I reckon all of it is better than what I can do! A lot of the animations and work were very impressive, but inevitably, some of them looked less visually good. But this is easily forgiven. After all, they ARE unfinished. What, you expect everything to look as amazing as REDUX did?

There were bits which went on for a bit too long, but again, considering this is a compilation, this was to be expected. The vague story was actually quite effective though, and I thought it worked well. Of course, one thing I liked about Lock 'n Load 2 was seeing Lock and Toad. I haven't actually seen much of them in action (apart from the successful REDUX) and it was nice to see them again.

Lock 'n Load 2 is a great compilation from one of the better current directors. You will do well to download this and admire his unreleased work. They may not look as eye-catching as Ninja Gaiden or REDUX, granted, but you're forgetting that these clips are unfinished, and therefore they will not be as good as some of the released stuff. If you're a fan of Gorosaurus, I don't think I need to tell you that you should watch this. But seriously, it may not entertain you from start to finish, but it is worth spending a bit of time smiling at some of a legend's unseen clips.

Score: 77/100
