The Lost Vikings

Alliant subtilement action, réflexion et plate-forme, The Lost Vikings est un jeu à même de séduire vraiment tout le monde.

This cart offers fresh puzzle solving fun that strains your brain and takes a long time to complete, but makes you laugh out loud along the way. Three's a crowd when you get lost with the Vikings.

The combination of fiendish puzzles. Viking humor and rave music makes this strategy/action game too good to pass up. Great use of the six-button controller.

The Lost Vikings era una boccata d'aria nuova nel marasma di platform tutti simili usciti nella prima metà degli anni Novanta e, ancora oggi, si presenta per quello che è: un gioco originale, accattivante, semplice da imparare ma impegnativo da padroneggiare e, soprattutto, intelligente senza essere noioso o pedante.

There is always a great feel to finding the solution to what your brain has been troubled about for the last quarter, and it is even better when you actually accomplish the goal. But let us not forget the flaws. The presentation doesn't impress for a game that was released so late in the Genesis' life span. It can easily frustrate you later on and that is even worse when playing with friends. With the pluses and minuses together we have a regular seven-pointer in our hands. Getting this or another version won't matter much, but here you have five extra levels. Just make sure to play them and every other with a seven-button pad.

The Lost Vikings was a really good puzzle game for Super NES, and it has been done justice on this platform as well. The music doesn't have the kick of the other version (or the truly colorful graphics) but still a good game.
