Summary

The classic mascot is back! Aero the Acrobat dazzles you with amazing feats of bravery in his mission to stop the evil Edgar Ektor.

But danger looms as you defy psycho circus performers and fairground freaks in the quest to save the show from disaster. [Metro 3D]

Game Informer

Having good graphics, excellent controls, creative gameplay with lots of circus staples (think water tanks and cannons), and genius character animation buts Aero into his own class of goodness. [Sept 2002, p.94]

Play Magazine

Aero looks better than ever on the small screen, and this gameplay never gets old. [June 2002, p.69]

Nintendo Power

The peppy action/adventure is fun to clown around with. [July 2002, p.149]

GameZone

A blast to play. Even though the game is on the easy side, it still has enough challenge to keep the players coming back for more.

just "good." Almost "great." But not quite "awesome."

Quite a challenge to control, with his Sonic-style attacks, and many acrobatic skills.

Although the first few levels may seem somewhat pointless, the game later spawns into a fairly diverse platforming experience.

There is a bit of replay value, but you'll be less inclined to play it through more than twice.

Feels stale in this day and age. It does have a different feel, and holds up compared to a few of the platformers I’ve seen on the system, so I do recommend it.

The graphics are good, the music is pretty good and the varied gameplay sets it apart from other games in the genre.
