Description official description

Jersey City is in trouble when evil Dr. Knarf and his pumpkin headed-assistant Dennis, rule. Dr. Knarf creates evil mutant vegetables that run amok within the city. And only the famous devil can now save the city .

The game's theme is Halloween, and the objective is to catch Dr. Knarf. The player will need to open "K" Locks using color keys with letters "K" "N" "A" R" and "F" (which makes Knarf). Every area in Jersey City has two levels, each with its own boss (or bosses). These areas include the Art Museum, the City Park, the Graveyard, the Factory, the Seaport and Knarf's own forest.

The player can also free the hostages that were captured by Knarf's army (including children). Nitro Crates can be picked up to enhance the devil's strength. For a 100% game completion the player needs to beat all areas, find and beat all secret levels, free all hostages, destroy all nitro crates in all levels, and collect the golden Knarf tokens from all levels.

One of the best for Playstation

The Good
The game's story, enviroment, & characters makes it good. The monsters are very mysterious and so are the characters. The bosses are something you probably won't see in any other game (ever see a mutant octopus in a toxic barrel that can jump?) The game is of course the same name of the legend in Pine Barrens of New Jersey. This game rocks.

The Bad
The music has a little flaw. Once the track ends it stops, pauses, then starts over. It doesn't continuously go on. Plus a few levels are a little long. Plus when you totally complete the game, you can't go back to it, you just watch the ending scene.

The Bottom Line
The game is truly unique. I knew I had to tell MobyGames about it because it's unique even the cover is unique! They should make a sequel even though it's been 7 years since this game was made.
