Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 5.0
  • 5The gameplay is boring and the presentation is bad. The rest is average quality.
  • 4The links don't work, but you can get the game from http://retrospec.sgn.net/game-overview.php?link=jj. It's not worth it, though. Graphics are ok and audio could be worse, but the gameplay, which, while basic, has some potential, is destroyed by inaccurate collision detection. Menus could be better.
  • 6Closer to 2.5 stars than 3, this game is seriously average. Gfx are OK but everything else (sounds, MIDI music, menus, etc.) isn't. The menus in particular are exceptionally bad. Tried to play the new version too but that didn't even run... Oh, and I didn't get to see Alan Shearer...
