Saboteur II

aka: Saboteur 2: Avenging Angel
Moby ID: 251

DOS version

Dear heavens, what a painful experience!

The Good
Some of the colors are pretty cool. Some of the Ninja's flips are nice to watch....that's about it. I do like the on-screen box that indicates if a weapon is near.

The Bad
Where do I begin? I am recognizing that this is an old game, but geez-loweez....the controls STINK!! If you kick, while holding down the left arrow, when you stop kicking, you stop moving...you have to release the left arrow key, and then press it again to start moving...absolutely pathetic. I just could not play this game for more than about 10 minutes at a time, because the controls are so frustrating. A little more "juice" in the sound department wouldn't have hurt my feelings, either.

The Bottom Line
An ancient side-scroller, that I really wouldn't bother with, except to maybe add to your collection for posterity purposes only.
