Henri, mon ami, whatever made you join the Foreign Legion? Our adventurous young Frenchman may well wonder this when, trapped in an underground tunnel, attacked by deadly bats, he remembers his beloved homeland knowing he may never see it again.
He turns and runs through the darkness, digging a path through the soft, sandy soil. Reaching into his rucksack he pulls out a Camembert cheese he has there. He hurls this at an oncoming bat and it disintegrates. Henri has discovered his first form of defence.
Scattered around are heavy anvils. By removing the soil from beneath them Henri can crush the pursuing bats.
Henri has several outstanding features. Nine delightful colours, high quality graphics, good sound effects and an excellent scoring system.
I played Henri for a couple of hours and found it a super game. Then I discovered a drawback. Henri can launch cheeses indefinitely with no danger from any bats. If you don't hit on this flaw the game is very good; if you do, then it becomes less challenging.
To end, Henri is, how you say, a little on the expensive side. Bon voyage, Henri.
