Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Gameboy review.

Damn my previous Attack of the Killer Tomatoes review... It made me play the GB game...
But this review will be written, cause Technical issues and video reviews for games won't work with me. Like I already mentioned in the NES Review, the GB game has Wilbur Finletter trying to stop Gangreen's plan. Tomatoes, Ruling the World... STUFF!!

This game is a pure Side Scrolling Adventure game. The object of each stage is locate a can of Tomato Soup (or Juice... not sure right now) and reach the exit before Time runs out... Yes it's a timed game... Yipee...

So, before I use another person's let's play as a reference here's the Controls

D-Pad is for movement.

Start is to throw swords (these are limited and you find them through the levels. It seems 9 is the Maximum)

Select is for using Chad's Skaetboard while on land. On air it deploys a Parachute. (You can only carry one at a time.)

Jump is the B Button... Wait What!? Yup! It's one of those games that doesn't believe in B = any non-jump action and A = Jump... Many deaths I suffered due to this "Quirk"

And last but no least, the  A Button is for Attacking. You kick when standing, crouching or jumping... To Punch it's Up + A...
The controls can be a bit unresponsive at times.


The person on this video is playing the game with a cheat device... I don't blame them... the game can be a bit frustrating. Also, this person doesn't know a couple of shortcuts in some stages.

There are four Stage types: Woodland, City, Finletter's Pizzeria, Tomato Dungeon. Each level is different, but uses the same styled backgrounds.

You collect the can from each level and reach the exit. On Tomato Dungeons you battle Gangreen's Monster Tomatoes... Unlike the NES Version, The Tomatoes have to be stomped into sauce... Zoltan is killable here... SWEET REVENGE!!


OK, so Ratings... 1-10 whew the closer to zero is bad and the further away is better...

Graphics:
Here I have to say a 4.5 out of 10. The characters are underdetailed (even for Gameboy) The monster tomatoes look more like their MadBalls versions...

Sounds:
The Theme is there, the rest of the music is forgettable though... 6.0

Gameplay:
This is the one that will bring the game down... 3.0 Mostly due to repetitive levels, semi-unresponsive controls and the death causing "quirk"

Difficulty: 
6.0 Once you overcome the Controller's quirks and get used to the game, the difficulty is acceptable.

Overall: 4.88 Bad controls make a gaming experience far worse than it has to... While more consistent than the NES game; it's consistently bad!!
