Battletoads is one series that I have fond memories of. Over the years I have played and beaten every version of the games multiple times except for the arcade version.


I had no idea there was even an arcade version of the series until I had gotten my copy of the Rare Replay for my Xbox One and saw it was one of the titles. So imagine my happiness to see the game on this site under the arcade section. I knew I had to play it again for this review. and I am glad I did. it is a fun time.


Battletoads was released to the arcades in 1994. The game was developed by Rare (I miss that company) and published by Electronic Arts (remember when they were good?).


Graphics 9: The game may be 25 years old now but it still looks amazing. The many times I played through the game i never got tired of looking at it. There is virtually no screen tearing at all.


Sound 10: Not only does the game look amazing but it also boasts amazing sound. From the amazing rock music being played throughout the game to the sound effects of the enemies and the attacks. it does not get old to listen to the game as you play.


Addictive 10: The game is extremely fun and addictive to play. prior to my review I ended up playing through the game 3 times once with each toad. I can't recommended this game enough. In fact I'm going to play through the game again after i finish this review.


Story 2: There's not much of a story to the game. You go through 6 different levels till you beat the game and that is it.


Depth 4: There is not a lot of depth to the game. You go through 6 very different levels punching and kicking rodents and mutants till you get to the end of the stage where you fight a boss.

Difficulty 7: Since most people are likely to be playing the game on MAME its kinda hard to judge how difficult the game really is seeing that you just add credits to continue right where you died.


Rating 7: I gave the game a rating of a solid 7. Its good but it does suffer from lack of story and depth. I do still recommended it though as its a great addition to the series.
