Chuck Rock review - Sega Master System

Obviously the excellent graphics and sounds have been somewhat trimmed down during the translation from Megadrive to Master System, but the rest of the game has everything that made the 16-bit version such a laugh, and the end result is one of the best platform games available on the Master System. There's a real sense of fun running throughout the game, and the highly enjoyable platform action combined with the logical puzzle solving adds up to a Master System game that you'd be daft to miss.

Okay, so the graphics aren't as good as the Megadrive version. However, Chuck Rock is still as playable as the 16-bit version with the same great fusion of reaction-testing and mini-puzzle solving. The game is really challenging as well. The first couple levels may be quite simple to complete , but after that it's a completely different story and many hours will be spent as you try to get closer to Gary Gritter's lair. I had a lot of fun with Chuck Rock - it's definitely the most fun I've had with the Master System for ages. Highly recommended.
