Oh dear. A group of terrorists have captured the President and taken him deep into the heart of their country. Sounds like a job for Bloody Wolf, hard man extraordinaire.

Because it's a solo mission, Bloody can only take a machine gun and a limited supply of grenades with him. But if he finds anything useful along the way, he can pick it up and use it against the hordes of enemy soldiers. Such items include bazookas, mega machine guns and flame throwers - all ideal for wiping out large numbers of enemy soldiers.

The action takes place in a pseudo-3D scrolling landscape. Bloody can run in and out of the screen, and throw grenades and shoot in all directions. Enemy soldiers are everywhere - on motorbikes, behind oil drums, perched on trucks - and all fire at the hero on sight. If Bloody sustains a hit, his energy bar is worn down, and a completely depleted bar results in the loss of one of his three lives.

As well as the president, the evil terrorists are also holding other soldiers prisoner - including your best friend - and all be rescued for extra points by simply touching them.

As the hero progresses through the game, there are major obstacles to overcome, such as a giant submarine and a huge task, and there are some horrible surprises in store later on. I'm not going to tell you what, but if you've seen Rambo II, they're along those sort of lines...

To be perfectly honest, Bloody Wolf looks pretty awful, but beneath the poor graphics and mediocre sound lies a fantastic arcade adventure that's full of action and excitement. It's tough to start with, with loads going on, but the superb gameplay keeps you coming back for more. I've been playing it for hours non-stop!

Poor graphics and sound belie a challenging and highly addictive combat game which keeps you engrossed for hours at a time. Superb!
