Für einen Hit reicht es trotzdem nicht, dazu hätten die Programmierer mehr Tempo und neue Ideen ins Spiel bringen müssen. Das soll jedoch Plattformfans mit A500/600 nicht von der Bekanntschaft mit Alfred Chicken abhalten, lediglich Besitzern eines A1200 oder CD32 sei (noch) etwas Zurückhaltung empfohlen – ihnen serviert man das Hendl nämlich schon bald in extrabunten Spezialmenüs!

Alfred Chicken is, as I've said a playable platformer, but it does suffer from a couple of problems. The biggest has to be your mode of attack. Like all platform titles you kill the bad guys by jumping on them. However, you have to hit them head first, by leaping into the air, and then diving onto them. If you miss, they can just walk into you, killing you instantly. Needless to say, this can be very frustrating. Also, Alfred doesn't move very quickly. Although he is beautifully animated and designed to the point where you just want top him up and cuddle him, he just can't get out of the way of the faster moving enemies. For example, if you jump and discover something is bearing down on you, you can rarely move him out of the way in time, so you are killed on contact and returned (annoyingly) to the point of the last-released balloon. Alfred Chicken had all the makings of a classic platform game, but sadly a few niggles have left the gameplay slightly irritating.

Man blir ganska snabbt fängslad och spelet är actionfyllt på det rätta sättet, dvs utan att vara stressigt. Man hoppar på studsbrädor och flyger all världens väg. Och det är ju kul. Man blir gripen väldigt snabbt och kan bli sittandes i timtal. Ett bra spel alltså, men med lite yttre skönhetsfläckar.

Alfred Chicken bjuder inte på några nyheter men det är välgjort. Alla ni som är hoppa-springa-spelsfanatiker, kolla upp det här spelet. Det kan förstöra er nattsömn.
