    The problem of this remaster is that, while the level design is still top notch, some of the other game play design were not updated. TheThe problem of this remaster is that, while the level design is still top notch, some of the other game play design were not updated. The whole concept of lives and if you lose all lives you lose everything is literally outdated! I've always been against the concept of losing all progress and this game just does that, unfortunately! What was once the "standard" in platforming games back then was never a good one to begin with! Way Forward should have made the game more forgiving and allow some sort of check points and keep the diamonds you've accumulated until you lose all your lives.

    The game encourages you to meticulously search the stages for treasures, but punishes you with cheap one hit kills that can ruin your harvest! Any developers should reward you for playing their games, not frustrate you by making the time you've played obsolete!

    Initially, I was going to give this game an 8.5, but the ending sequence ruined the game for me. Aside from the fiasco that is the final stage and the points mentioned above, the game has been remastered to perfection! Too bad Way Forward took some weird liberties with the final stage. Their efforts should have been spent elsewhere!    … Full Review »

This sidescroller takes me back. It's been beautifully remastered and if you're a fan of sidescrollers in general, this holds up to the others that are out there. It's not as innovative as Braid or Shadow Complex, but it's classic SNES style fun.… Full Review »

    The updated graphics and dedicated button for pogo cane aren't enough to cover up the fact that this game is boring. Ducktales should haveThe updated graphics and dedicated button for pogo cane aren't enough to cover up the fact that this game is boring. Ducktales should have either stuck to its retro roots like mega 9 or conjured up something fresh and innovative the cutscenes suck! They hinder gameplay even though they can be skipped. I'm a huge ducktales fan and this is a generous pity 5.… Full Review »
