Personal review

If it wasn't for the unique style of graphics, this game would be completely forgettable. The controls and gameplay are both mediocre, typical of early 90's beat-'em-ups, but all the character sprites have a very Muppet-like appearance, and this, compounded by the fact that defeating the minor enemies often causes some sort of dismemberment(although, perhaps not surprisingly, there is no blood), make for a game experience that is truly something else. If the game had been put together with a little more effort, it could actually have been something interesting for more than five minutes or so.
