Eco-Creatures: Save the Forest (LightWeight/Headlock - DS - 2007)

'Crime Fighters 2'

[ARC] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE] [1991]

"Now this is THE four player beat-em up to play this Summer. Storyline -the Dead-End Gang have kidnapped your girlie. Kute Kate, coz there're fed up with your good guy antics. So you, Hawk and your three mates are gonna have to do something about it. OK! So what're you gonna do? Ring out for a pizza and invite the Dead-End boys around to discuss the matter in a frank and adult manner? Ask your solicitor to send letters remonstrating strongly with them. Challenge them to a game of Happy Families, double or quits? Or after you've thought it out, doesn't it seem best to just settle for smashing their ruddy teeth down their their throats? This you do, as you horizontally scroll across an innovative cityscape. The graphics really do create a menacing atmosphere and although the sprites are not a big as in some other games, the variety of animation you get when you perform the various moves is a real treat. You know the stuff - lay into the cannon fodder and deal with the end-of-level Boss character. Standard scenario here, but great implementation. If you want a good multi-player beat-em up-Vendetta is as good as you can get right now!" ~John Cook, Sinclair User (September 1991, #115)

Also to the bottom right of the ad is not a video game, but Nan?Da, which appears to have been a brief monthly magazine that Konami was making for kids. But that's a rabbit hole for another day...
