When Dr Vic Frankenstein leaves his assistants Phil and Igor alone in the lab, it's only a matter of time before things get out of hand. Before you know it, Phil's exploded and it's left to you, as Igor, to pick up the bits before Vic finds out!

It's nice to see that this title stands out just a smidgeon compared to many of the other platformers on the shelves. Toonsylvania is a crazy cartoon-style adventure, and it has more to the gameplay than just legging it to the right of the screen until you reach the goal.

With UbiKey options and a real puzzle-style collecting spree, this is a fast and funny ride. The graphics and sound are great, and there's a real challenge in it. Nonetheless, its charms don't last forever, and you'd have to be a real platformer freak to actually want to spend your cash on it. Plus, to be honest, it really didn't scare us that much.
