    It's fun for the first level, and that's about it. [Oct 2009, p.77]

    A quick time diversion and better left for those with strong nostalgic memories only.

    The graphics are horrible, and made even worse by that hellish "smoothing" filter. Your powered-up hero has a bulky weightlifter's body with a tiny comedy head on top, while enemy designs are lumpy and ugly.

They should have their card pulled. 10.… Full Review »
