Summary

Wise-cracking worm in Super-Suit takes on villains in Side-Scrolling platform game.

The Good

Nice looking graphics, great tongue-in-cheek humor. When you're playing as a giant worm in a super suit, fighting enemies with names like Evil The Cat and Psy-Crow, with your stated objective being to rescue Princess-What's-Her-Name, you can't help but laugh.

The Bad

Gets somewhat repetitive after a few levels. Small weapon set leaves a bit to be desired, and the lack of any way to save your game becomes typically irritating.

The Bottom Line

A typical console port, with pretty graphics and average gameplay, but the humor makes it worthwhile.
