Mr. Nutz: Hoppin' Mad

The Good
The introduction to this game looks great, and the in-game graphics are beautiful. The music is first-rate, and there is a gorgeous-looking bonus sequence. The game is quite addictive for a while, and Mr. Nutz himself looks suitably humorous.

The Bad
Where the game falls down is in its gameplay. For a start, you spend far too much time moving a tiny squirrel around a maze looking for the entrances to the varied parts of each level. When you start playing the levels, it isn't long before they become tedious and repetitive. The chickens are just irritating, and the later bosses are frustrating and uninteresting.

The Bottom Line
A platform game in which you must guide Mr. Nutz, a squirrel, through the levels in order to rid the land of killer chickens (!) If you are hit by a baddie, you can replenish your lost energy by catching the little jumping rectangle which flies out of your health meter, and there are also shields dotted about the levels.
