    The game simply cannot hold up in today's market and sadly its too frustrating even for Dirk the Daring's fans to stick with it for any time.
  2. An exceptionally generic platformer shaped around quick trial and error design and limp enemies, and built around a tired looking cel-shaded engine that does little justice to the visuals of the arcade original.

In the other hand the game feelsI expected something worse, but this game has some good points: The graphics, the environment and the music. In the other hand the game feels a little clunky and many parts of the game are very frustranting and repetitive. However if you find the game for less than 10 bucks (with case and booklet) buy it, the game is not very common. Its a shame, the game has characters with charm. Full Review »
