He used to be an
ornery peace-lovin' sort of
fella 'til the grannies came to
town.
Vicious bands of umbrella-wielding OAPs roamed the
city streets, bringing fear and
violence to once quiet
suburbs. But it wasn't just the
grannies who made our hero
tremble in his undies. Gangs
of grey-haired old men armed
with pointed sticks and bowls
mats had also embarked on a
reign of terror.
In fact the streets were
alive with the sound of
fighting, and only one man
could save the day (not to
mention the week, month and
year). So equipped with his
trusty golden battle shorts,
and very little else, our hero
takes up the challenge.
Street Hassle is another beat
'era up, but it's one with a
difference - it's a big laff and
no mistake. The assorted
chunky characters who come
to pulverise you into dust -
worra weird lot they are! My
fave is the chap who uses his
extra-large turn as a (very
effective) weapon. And there
are banana-chucking
gorillas, mad dogs and a
phantom bomber with
mystery effect bombs.
The game's only major
letdown is the limited number
of aggressive moves our hero
can make, although to be fair,
there are hidden moves on
later levels. But apart from
that I enjoyed it a lot. Okay, so
for a full-price effort it may be
a little on the thin side, but it's
novel and fun to play, and you
can't say that about many
games today.
