A medio caballo entre un Sonic y un Rayman, manejas a una estrella que puede estirar los brazos para agarrar y proyectarse contra los enemigos.

Halfway between Sonic and Rayman, you control a star that can stretch its arms to grab and project itself against enemies.

Comment

While it may be sickeningly cute, Ristar is actually a very challenging action-platformer. It somehow didn't get the success of Sonic, but it has much more depth; one of the best-looking game for the Genesis.
