  • Summary: New Zealand Story Revolution recreates the look and feel of the classic 1988 8-bit game on a 21st century handheld. Whilst simply enhancing the original's gameplay, New Zealand Story Revolution gives the player an old classic on a new platform without compromising the game’s original appeal and eccentricity. Features: The return of one of videogaming's cutest cult characters - Tiki the Kiwi; Entirely faithful to the originals - all levels, enemies, items and secrets remain intact; A host of new touchscreen-based mini-games to play in both single player and against friends in multiplayer; New gameplay features are a New Zealand Story fan's wish-list - you'll wonder why they weren't in the original; Digitally remastered - Brighter, more colourful graphics, parallax scrolling, redrawn sprites and new animations; Normal and Expert Modes – Clear the Normal Mode to unlock Expert Mode; New music and sounds effects – new tunes based on the classic game.

  1. It's not greatly better than any of the other versions of it, but it's certainly welcome on the DS. [Mar 2007, p.71]
  2. Perhaps a bit redundant to release what's essentially a two decade old game, but dammit, it still has a place in our hearts. [Mar 2007, p.81]
  3. New Zealand Story Revolution is a hard unforgiving platform game dressed up like a child's game. Think very carefully before splashing out. We used to love it but playing it again only brings back all the frustrations we thought we'd forgot about.
