Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 8.0
  • 6A good remake with nice visuals and audio. It would have been nice to have higher resolution graphics, but it's a minor complaint. A highscores list is sorely missed, though. The framerate tends to get a bit choppy even on a high end system (Athlon XP 3000+ w/GeForce 6800 GT).
  • 8Best game of it's kind I've played on the PC, I think! Fast, fluid..mmm! -I didn't give it top score just because I'm hoping you'll try improving it even more ;)
  • 10A really great remake of the old classic. The gameplay is very good, it looks nice for a low-res game, sound effects are excellent and the music fits the theme. Overall an excellent game...
