    Rearmed looks good but doesn't quite hold the charm of the original. [Oct 2008, p.85]

I was a big fan of the original, and this is how you do a remake! Staying faithful to the source material and keeping what made it great, and then amping up everything else to make it better than ever. Great graphics, great sound, great music, but most importantly - top-notch gameplay. You can play this game for 100 hours and you will still continue to hone your grappling skills.

Also, the music is pretty awesome, nostalgic with a new kickin' beat over-tone. Don't miss this.… Full Review »

    Slick reimagining of the arcade classic but many will be put off by the insanely high difficulty level.
