An old-school throwback that reminds why we don't need a stinkin' jump button!
From the opening screen, which plays the original theme, to the first level which features a remix of the original music, this game just screams "NOSTALGIA!" There's a couple new moves with the arm, most notably picking up and throwing barrels, but for the most part, nothing has changed.
The graphics, unlike the controls, have changed and are superbly animated, especially for an Arcade title. At some points, it may seem a little too "zoomed out" but I love the way everything moves. It's done very crisp and clean.
Lastly, the actual gameplay which mostly centers around how good you are at moving around with the bionic arm, is absolutely brutal. You will die. A lot. But you'll have fun doing! For 800 points, this game is worth it's price.
