    The difficulty goes up gradually and never catches you by surprise; you won't find any huge leaps in difficulty here. The graphics are fantastic and the color use is great.

    A fun, exciting and action-packed game. Beneath its cute exterior beats a heart of granite and any negative aspects are outweighed by points of excellence that allow it to move self-assuredly through the mountain of faceless Gameboy titles. [JPN Import]

    The bonus levels are forgettable, while the attribute system is woefully underused.

    An incredibly fun game, especially for a portable console. Has a much more involved and interesting story than I expected.
