    There's no denying that 88 Heroes is an innovative and ultimately enjoyable take on 2D platforming. However, its fun factor relies almost entirely on your willingness to persevere through its often infuriating campaign setup so make sure you have a spare controller.

    88 Heroes makes a great first impression with its old-school platforming game mechanics and sense of humour. Ultimately, the gameplay and the jokes wear a little thin but this is still well worth checking out.

    88 Heroes is almost an experiment. An irreverent & crazy experience full of speed, characters and a very sharp sense of humor. Sadly, it's a very short title.

    88 Heroes is a game that puts referential humor over bland platforming and little else.

If you are looking for some laugh-out-loud character designs, then I would recommend playing through 88 heroes at it’s $14.99 asking price as there are definitely some fun and entertaining moments with these characters.
