    A tight game that experiences a few technical difficulties along the way...A straight port of the original along with a few extras thrown in.

    A good, well-crafted action game, but it definitely shows its age. It’s also quite possibly the hardest SNES game ever made, which, by the way, makes it too hard.

    The challenge is set on high in a faithful re-creation of the Super NES game. [Nov 2002, p.230]

    Great in many ways, but the difficulty is too tough. Simply not refined enough for a smooth move toe the GBA. [Winter 2002, p.45]

    After finishing the game, I just felt fooled by it, because you have to REPLAY IT ALL forever until you find a secret key or whatever the f*ckAfter finishing the game, I just felt fooled by it, because you have to REPLAY IT ALL forever until you find a secret key or whatever the f*ck to unlock the ending. No, not to unlock the "true" or "secret" ending, but just to unlock the ONLY ENDING.
    And good luck playing the game TWO TIMES IN A ROW without getting hit more than once, because hoo boy, if you get hit two times in the entire game, you're dead!
    It's not fun, it's not challenging, it's just boring, stupid and impossible.    … Full Review »
