From Capcom the creators of Megaman and Street Fighter 2 comes Ducktales, a great cartoony platforming game based on the kids' TV show.  Strangely, Scrooge is given a pogo stick and must travel the world seeking cash lest he become the world's second richest duck (oh no!!).  We the 99% make an exception for Scrooge and like him cuz he is so awesome.  

Graphics  8
The graphics are pretty good as the varied locations and baddies serve the gameplay well, though the beagle boys aren't really recognizable.  Most of the other characters from the show look like they should!


Sound  10!
Some of the music in this game is as famous even today as the game itself!  Try googling "ducktales moon piano" if you don't believe me to hear some freaky piano prodigies getting their groove on.  

Addictiveness  9
Tight play control, strange-yet-fun pogo-sticking, clear mission objectives yet somewhat open level design, great music and boss fights all add up to an immersive experience that gamers will want to see through to the end and beyond.

Story  8
Pretty good in that there is a good variety to the levels, surprise appearances by cast members who give you directions and objectives mid-level, and also memorable villains and a good ending, though it could've always used more cartoony cutscenes.

Depth  8
There are different endings depending on how much treasure you collect, you may be tempted to replay the whole game, in addition to replaying the levels themselves within the game thanks to a return trip home from Launchpad!  Also check hint websites for how to access the Gyro Screwloose bonus level to amass greater amounts of cash.  

Difficulty  7
A fellow review author gave this a low difficulty score, presumably because the game is not unfairly difficult and frustrating, but seeing as how there is an adjustable difficulty setting for gluttons for gaming punishment I awarded a more generous 7 score, not too hard but not lacking in challenge either!

Fans of NES platformers or the TV show go ahead and check out this game!  If you like it, try its sequel too.  

This was an OK review but needed some more detail about the game. It needs some work, but with a bit of detail, it would be a great review. 6/10
