Personal review

The eighth game for the Power Pad peripheral. It is based on a wacky action tv game show named "Takeshi's Castle" which was also shown in western TV. I really liked the show, it was so different to domestic shows and really funny, but as for the game, well, the same as with the other Family Trainer game applies here. It is only fun to play with the actual Power Pad. This just can't be played well on emulators if you don't have such a pad. The game events are simplistic but are all based on the real challenges of the TV show, which is nice.

Editor note

Game based on a hilarious Japanese reality/comedy show called Takeshijou (Takeshi's Castle) by Takeshi Kitano. This show is also known as Most Extreme Elimination Challenge or MXC in the U.S. and Humor Amarillo in Spain. Check TV.com for details.
