Summary
Probably the best platform game out there
The Good
The creators of Keen got everything right.
- The monsters are great.
- The balance is perfect: on easy, the game is easy, and on hard, the game is hard.
- The music is beatiful.
- The sound effects are genious.
- The balance of the levels could not be done any better.
- The graphics are a miracle, especially because of the limited resources.
- The engine is very good: the way Keen jumps, shoots, hangs, pogo-jumps, with all very little keys...!
- The levels really could hardly be done better.
- The secrets, the points, the story, the interface, the keys, the everything: everything is great.
The Bad
The level map has little fantasy: Keen 4 and 6 have done this better.
The Bottom Line
No serious gamer can miss this game. It is probably the best of the Commander Keen series.
