Battletoads

Os valentes sapos mestres nas artes marciais e em outros golpes não muito orientais, como poderosos chutes, chifradas – isso mesmo! – e socos, tem uma difícil missão: Pimple, um dos três simpáticos anfíbios, foi seqüestrado. E os malfeitores não se deram por satisfeitos, levando junto a princesa Angelica. Dark Queen, a princesa das trevas, os mantém prisioneiros em seu planeta, Gargantua.

Amazing-looking arcader that sets standards, break moulds and does a lot of other groovy things too. It's the best blast I've seen in a long time.

This is it! We've been psyched about the Battletoads since we first heard about them! Now that Rare and Tradewest are ready to cut loose with Battletoads.

Excellent! Radical! Most triumphant! If Battletoads doesn't make you laugh at the hysterical animations, or fry your brain cells with utter amazement, you are reading the wrong mag! The amount of work that went into this game is phenomenal! This'll make up for Double Dragon.

With twelve big and varied levels to test your skills, Battletoads is a definite winner! Move over Turtles and make way for the new breed!

The quirky animations are comical, and you'll even see Space Invader icons towing power-ups. Sadly, most gamers won't appreciate all that Battletoads has to offer, because the game is too [expletive] hard - even with continues! Battletoads supports two-player simultaneous action, but that doesn't make things any easier. If not for my trusty Game Genie, I don't think I would have been able to review this game. Except for the excessive difficulty, there's not much to dislike, except maybe that annoying drumbeat that plays when the game is paused. Battletoads will suck you in with its quality gameplay, only to demoralize you with its relentless difficulty. Even if you like your games hard as nails, Battletoads will beat you into submission and teach you the meaning of pain. Punk!

Battletoads is a game that started out with great promise but ended up in the "hopper" so to speak. If you're into raucous-raising reptiles, TMNT still seems to be the best bet, Cowabunga!
