Fight your way through the streets of New York as you attempt to rescue Madonna, a female hostage kidnapped by an evil gang. Make your way though five levels as you fight an endless number of enemies before reaching the boss. You can punch, kick, jump kick, and pick up nunchucks to help in fighting the enemies.

  • Constant enemy respawn
  • Bosses are either too easy to too hard depending on whether you have nunchucks
  • Take a lot of damage from attacks
  • Very repetitive
  • Use of up for jumping
  • Jump kick is impossible to consistently pull off

3Although the graphics are great, the boring level design and lack of a third button makes this game a chore to play. Bosses are also a nightmare without nunchucks.
