    If you enjoy the very hard ‘old school’ style of platformer, you might find something to like with Trophy. For me though, it just went to show how far we’ve come in gaming, with too many quirks and annoyances we’ve long moved past rearing their unwelcome heads again. There are better ‘modern-retro’ games out there to play.

    While I’m sure there is some novelty to be found in buying a new NES title in the 21st century, as a downloadable game on the Xbox, this leaves much to be desired. On the plus side, it does answer one long-standing hypothetical — it turns out that without the ability to swap powers, Mega Man would have been a pretty bad game.

The challenge level was really fun (other than one or two frustrating boss fights), the tone and feel and play control was right for the 90's NES action platformer, and the music was great. If you're looking for NES-like platforming fun, this game is spot on.

    Full disclosure: I was a tester of an earlier version of the game, and got to see it improve over time.
