Bonk's Adventure (GameCube)

(Currently available in Japan only) Originally a big hit on the Turbo Grafx 16, this comedic action game is now available in 3D for both GC and PS2. Rescue the Moon Princess from King Drool and bring peace back to Dinosaur Land. The quirky Bonk must use his head to butt his way through the screen in this scrolling platformer. Eating the meats that appear during the game turn Bonk into a monkey or berserker, providing him with two power-up statuses. In addition to the main game, players can watch vintage commercials as a bonus feature. [Hudson Soft]

Critic Reviews

Definitely a lot of fun while it lasts. Platformer fans will eat it up as if it were a vine-covered wall. The redone graphics are nice, but probably not so much that fans of the original would want to play this release just for the 3D character models. [JPN Import]

This remake, however, is like a caveman frozen in ice and revived in the modern world. Think Encino Man in video game form: amusing as a fish-out-of-water comedy, but doomed to obsolescence. [JPN Import]
