this is a decent little game. i'm very surprised sega never gave ristar another outing as he is a classy little characer with a unique and interesting capability. all the levels look beautiful and are good fun. some have little tasks / storys to complete along the way. its a game you will probably revisit a few times. the boss battles are all entertaining and not too difficult. the soundtrack is memorable and as good as you can expect from a megadrive game. you will probably enjoy this game a bit more for nostalgia though if you played it before when it was on the megadrive.

definately worth the wii points if you have them to spend and are looking for a fun attractive and original platformer.
