Don't expect the same feeling you did in 90s! but still a nice trip down memory lane.

Me and my brother used to love this game as kids, the cheesy humour, music (at the time) which is imprinted into my brain. we stayed up late on many occasion trying to beat this frustrating yet somehow addictive little game but we never did also we never owned it, we had a family friend we borrowed it off a number of times, so I never had the chance to really try and beat it plus I was like 6-7 years old. Not yet had time to fully train my thumb skills. So I had this romantic image of playing this game having lots of fun. So for years I wanted this on arcade and they finally did it. We'll the frustration is back with a bang , but the fun...not so much. The cool thing is you can play over xbox live but the sad bit is hardly anyone plays it. But if you have a mate with the same passion of the game as you, your quids in because the game is still good for an hour or two . Before the water in this game gives you a seizure that is. Also the odds of having such friend and is willing to pay the £6.75 or whatever aren't great. But I have found a game or two online in the week I've had it. So about the game if you didn't already know . You play as either Toejam a three legged red Alien or Earl a big orange dude. Or if you have two pads a mate and some beers even better both! with local coop. because really that's where the fun is, so basically you go around earth trying to find pieces of your spaceship to get home to Funkitron ...think that's what it's called . So yeah you walk around each level looking for each piece, ten in total. Whilst avoiding crazy earthlings like mad scientist Hulu girls and tornadoes, man I hate those things. So you walk around uncovering blocks of the map once you find the spaceship pice it's time to find the elevator or lift if your British like me and then it's off to the next and repeat. There's not always a ship pice on the level so just find the lift and pick up presents along the way. Oh yeah did I mention presents there your weapons and other goodies like slingshot, decoys, tomatoes, or rocket skates. So that's the idea off the game and like I said it's still good just not like it was all those many years ago. All that being said it's too expensive. It really is. this should have been £3 really that way it would be better online. And try and entice new players to the game. I'm sure they would of made more money from this release turn over over increases profit people. So get this game or not up to you...no wait get it we need more players online :)
