Mean Machines (May, 1994)
A game of substance, even brilliance. The Battletoads are a force to be reckoned with.

Play Time (Jun, 1994)
Nach dem Mega Drive feiern die Battletoads auf dem Game Gear Premiere und boxen sich durch neun lange Levels mit dutzenden von originellen Gegnern. Witzige Animationen, actionreiche Zwischenspiele und beinharter Sound machen es zu einer der interessantesten Neuerscheinungen für Segas Kleinsten. Außerdem gehört es zu den Beat'em'Ups, die einen auch nach Wochen noch an die Konsole locken.

GamePro (US) (Feb, 1994)
Webbed hands-down, Battletoads is a solid action/adventure cart for the Game Gear. It offers interesting characters, sharp graphics, simple gameplay and a tough, but not insurmountable challenge. Gamers who've already played the NES, Genesis or Gameboy versions won't find anything new and may want to wait for the sequel. On the other hand, Battletoads neophytes can't miss with this fun cart. Last one in the pond is a rotten egg!

Sega Power (Apr, 1994)
Battletoads is probably the cream of the scrolling mayhem crop of games, but nevertheless it still inherits all of their shortcomings. A good toad job for the Gear though.

Megablast (Jun, 1994)
Langeweile kommt hier also praktisch nie auf, und auch bei der Präsentation wurde erfolgreich versucht, aus den begrenzten technischen Möglichkeiten das Beste zu machen: Die Grafik ist abwechslungsreich und witzig animiert, der Sound hinkt qualitativ allerdings etwas hinterher. An der Steuerung gibt es jedoch wenig auszusetzen, trotzdem ist der Schwierigkeitsgrad gesalzen. Ein bißchen Zeit und Erfahrung sollte der Krötendompteur also schon mitbringen, doch hier lohnt sich die Anstrengung wenigstens!

Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) (Dec, 1993)
Hey, I think I remember this game from a couple of years ago. Will the trend of bringing older games to the portable systems ever end? Anyway, for those who thoroughly enjoyed the old Battletoads games, you know what to expect here.. This is a solid game that offers plenty of action with tons of enemies and a difficulty level sure to challenge any avid player.

Video Games (Jun, 1993)
Die Game-Gear-Version ist deutlich besser gelungen als die Konkurrenzkröte auf dem Game Boy. Hübsche Grafik - schon beinahe auf Mega-Drive-Niveau - jede Menge Levels und abwechslungsreiches Spieldesign sprechen für das Game-Gear-Modul.

Computer and Video Games (CVG) (May, 1994)
Another average platform game. One thing in Battletoads' favour though is it has more variety than usual. The parallax scrolling is decent, but the game's perspective means it's too easy to fall off a ledge when you thought you were completely safe. It's not difficult but frustrating and unforgiving in its control. Battletoads? Tadpoles more like.

If you want a really nice handheld version of Battletoads, then you should check out the far superior Battletoads in Ragnarok’s World on the Game Boy. It far outshines this version, despite not being in color. Oh, one other thing about the Game Gear port: there isn’t even an ending, if that makes you feel any better.

ASM (Aktueller Software Markt) (Jul, 1994)
Alles in allem also ein Game, das es kaum so bunt treibt, wie es nun aussieht. Die Kröten für die Kröten könnt ihr Euch also sparen - und die Pommes-Schale in der Verpackung
gibt s beim Imbiß um die Ecke eh billiger.
