Moonwalker

Join Jacko as he timewarps back a couple of years to the age when he wore gangster suits and took to "moonwalking" a lot. This game attempted to capture his antics on silicon as he saved the kids from the ruthless Mr. Big. Aiieee!

What We Said Then

Jaz: Moonwalker isn't a particularly tough game and good players might find themselves completing it all too quickly. And even though there's plenty of fun to be had doing it, that might not be enough for some.

Moonwalker

Matt: When Moonwalker first came into the office, it proved to be extremely popular - for sheer comedy value alone.

What We Say Now

Jaz: The high comedy "dance 'em to death" routine still brings a smile to my face, but it's just too easy. Take 20% off each mark and I'll be happy.

Rich: Once you get bored with the brilliant presentation touches, this game becomes intensely dull and tedious. The action isn't varied enough and completing it is about as difficult as standing up. Just like the man and his music, this game is very one dimensional, lacking any depth or inspiration. Take away 15% from the sound, 20% from the graphics and 30% from the playability, lastability and the overall percentage.
