Overall 8/10

I had this game when I still had my Sega Genesis (or
Sega Mega Drive as it was called here in Europe) and as a child, it was
never one of my favorites, but now, I can appreciate it a lot more. I
didn't like it back in the days because it was too hard for me to beat. I
did play it a lot though, always trying to get past level 3 - where I
never managed to beat the boss fight. In this game, you get brought to
life to safe Zeus daughter. She's taken by a demon that's apparently
called Neff. I used to think it was Hades. That would have made more
sense. But overall, it's a fun game, and still a challenge, seeing as
even now that I'm 23 I still haven't managed to get to the end yet. (I
did get further than I used to though!) The most fun about the game for
me is seeing which animals you become to beat the boss. And the attacks
that come with it.

Graphics 7/10

For its time, the
graphics were pretty good, and I never used to notice the little faults
in it, but now that I'm older, I notice that the graphics glitch a bit.
In the beginning with Zeus' apparition for example, and whenever Neff
morphs into bubbles to summon that level's boss. It may seem like
nitpicking, but it bothers me a bit. The style also doesn't really speak
to me. However, I still rated it a 7 because the beasts and bosses are
nicely designed for that time.

Sound 7/10

Well... this is a
tough one. The voices annoy me. And as a child, I was never able to
understand what Neff said when he said "Welcome to your doom." But
nevertheless, sentences like those are memorable, as is the background
music that has a creepy vibe to it. The "Power Up!" when you catch a
special ball seems unnecessary to me, but other than that, I think the
sound's okay.

Addictiveness 6/10

It's not a long game, so I
don't think that when I've beat the game, I will play it again. But I
haven't beaten the game yet, so I'll keep trying until I do, which is
why I decided to give it a 6.

Story 8/10

Girl being
kidnapped, we've heard it all before (Mario anyone? : p ) so that isn't
very original. However, it being a Goddess that's kidnapped is and the
fact that her father decides to raise you, a warrior, from death to find
her and bring her back is quite original for that time. Add the having
to change into various beasts in order to defeat a boss to the mix, and
you have quite the original package. The Story - and especially the
various creatures you turn into - make this game more enjoyable.

Depth 5/10

I
gave this a 5 because it isn't a very long game. I've looked up how
many levels there are and it's disappointing how few, so if - unlike me -
you're good at this game, you'll probably beat it far too quickly for
your liking. I still gave it a 5 because it has a co-op option.

Difficulty 7/10

This
will greatly vary for everyone. I gave it a 7 because I can't seem to
get any further, but I can imagine that a lot of gamers think it's the
easiest thing ever.

Itachi_4_ever : This is a nice review, your words are backed up with your experiences and it was fun to read. My favorite part is how neutral you were able to stay, trying to review this game from different perspectives of people's experience, skill and tastes.

Thank you! I love how people here appreciate the things I write ^^ It's harder for me to stay neutral with games I love than those that don't make my favorites. Strangely enough. But even though this game didn't make my favorites, I would still buy it again if I had the chance. Maybe because of Nostalgia's sake, but still, there are a lot of fondly frustrated memories connected to this game XD Co-op with one of my brothers was so bad. He always got angry at me because I sucked haha.
