Low-G Man review - Nintendo Entertainment System
Oh no! A series of disasters have befallen a space exploration colony and in a bizarre twist of inexplicable fate, the robots have turned against their masters and now rule the colony - imprisoning any humans they find!
The Earth authorities are more than a bit annoyed to say the least/ Previous attempts to liberate the colony have ended in failure - the robotic defences are just too strong even for the most highly trained men. For a situation this dangerous, a superhero is required - a superhuman being like Low-G Man for instance.
He may not have superhuman strength, but Low-G Man makes a mockery of Newton's laws of physics by being able to jump massive heights and land softly, rather than being transformed rather violently into an embarrassing red mess. He's also trained in the use of super-effective military hardware - just the ticket for blasting the seven shades out of those mad robotic scum.

Low-G Man looked rather a pathetic effort when I first loaded it up into our trusty NES. The sound is rather grating and the graphics look pretty gaudy. This isn't made any better owing to the jerky scrolling. But for some strange reason I found the low-gravity action really enthralling. I think it's perhaps because the game's difficulty level is set at just the right level. It took me about three quarters of an hour to get onto the second level, but the time spent wasn't frustrating at all. It's also a good laugh trying out all of the different weapons and purloining the armoured transports from the robots. Low-G Man isn't an essential buy, but if you've got the cash to spare, give it a whirl!
