Before I saw it on the Wii Shop Channel I didn't know what Ristar was. I was looking for a fun Platformer. Looks like I found one. Ristar is a great game that in my opinion is the second best platformer on the Genesis. The game is simple. Use your extending hands to grapple on to people and objects for a load of fun. Sounds stupid but its far from it. The game is fun, and gets to be very addictive. The levels have a lot of personality and the bosses are very fun. Ristar is one of those games that many people haven't heard of, but when they get their hands on it they wonder why it wasn't extremely popular. Ristar is a quality game that should be recognized by many people.
