Graphics: 3 out of 10
Sound: 5 out of 10
Gameplay: 4 out of 10
Hardness factor: 6 out of 10
Overall: 4 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics weren't really spectacular. Most of the enemies
just looked bland and they didn't pull off the isometric view of this
game that well (unlike The Legend of the Mystical Ninja). The graphical
quality is very low on top of all this.
Sound: The music was probably the best part of this game. The songs
fit the western theme pretty well, but it sounded pretty weird... in a
good way. Sound effects were weak.
Gameplay: This is a pretty weird platform game. It's in an isometric
type view and you run around on a screen trying to find a key to get to
a villain. You can get money from chests and buy items (like the much
needed key and food). Unfortunately the controls are really bad, like
you'll jump very far but can't control yourself in the air and also the
screen only scrolls when you're near the edge. Also, the game gets
boring and old after only one level or so.
Hardness factor: The game was a little harder because the controls
were bad, but basically it's just a normal game.
Overall: 4 out of 10. A pretty average game that lacks the appeal needed
to make it fun. They would have needed to add a ton of different video
games to hold the average gamer's attention.
