If only this game was up to scratch in the storyline department....how in the world can a dopey rapper-wannabee just turn into a 1960s-like action hero with extraordinary powers??? And then theres the bit about his soul mate getting sucked into the screen of a (ahem!) super hit movie they are viewing (pun not intended) at the local (abandoned) cinema house....then he has to go on this tedious, wacky journey to retrieve his beloved before something happens (dont ask what, the story line was so bland, I couldnt recall what).

As far as the music and sound effects go, they are pretty alright...but not something I cold listen to again and again...the same could be said for the irrittating voice of Joe (and his constant change of attire) not to mention the equally annoying and sqeaky voice of his other half.....

The graphics are really good for a side scroller....and thats the only thing that keeps this dodgey raft afloat.....and about the only thing that urged me to keep on playing it.....but i nthe end I had to abandon ship and say cu l8tr...or, in derivative lyrics and voiceovers 'back to the scrapheap, baby!!!'
