Advantages: good platform game

Disadvantages: controls can be a bit difficult

This game originally came out for the Sega Master System. The Megadrive has basically copied the exact game and improved the graphics. The game was already a joy to play and the fact that it has been kept the same with improved graphics makes it even more fun.

You start the game as a normal man. A man who can become stronger by picking up power ups. If you pick up one special powerup you grow in size and strength and if you get two you change into a beast. The beast you transform into depends on the level you are currently on. The different beasts include a wolfman, tigerman and others. Each beast has its own special moves and powers.

The game is a platform game with monsters coming from the right of the screen. There are many different monsters of varying difficulty. As you progress through the levels the monsters become stronger and more varied.

At the end of each level you will have to face a boss. The bosses are crazy creatures and I hope you have enough strength left because your gonna need it.

The character handles quite well although high jumping can be a bit dodgy sometimes, its slower than you expect so you can land on enemies losing health but you do get to do more moves in the air.

Summary: enjoyable
