Graphics: 4 out of 10
Sound: 6 out of 10
Gameplay: 6.5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 4.5 out of 10
Overall: 6 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics are okay, but definitely the worst part about
this game. The fact that you play as a fat Russian made me subtract
a point from the graphics:) Seriously though, the graphics are okay
except that there aren't really any cool enemies in it.
Sound: The music was pretty good. It has a nice tune and sets the
mood pretty well, even if it is a little bit simple. Sound effects are
pretty cool too and the quality of sound is very good.
Gameplay: This game is a pretty basic sidescroller, but it just has
some really cool bosses and it's fun for at least 45 minutes. Anyway,
you play as Karnov, a Russian circus star, and you embark on a mission
to find your recently kidnapped girlfriend.or something like that.
Anyway, it's an average sidescroller where you must just make your
way to the end of a level. There are also bosses you must beat after
every few levels. The controls are very simple for this game. You walk,
jump, and throw circus balls. There are powerups around levels that
do different things, like picking up another ball so you can throw
more than one at a time.
Hardness factor: This game wasn't too hard, but it did have its
moments. You probably won't have a ton of trouble getting to the
last level.
Overall: 6 out of 10. This was actually a pretty good sidescroller,
even if it did get boring after a while. If you like this game, be
