After cleaning up the streets of London in the first Trashman game, our hero now sets out on a much more ambitious project to clean up the entire world in the sequel to New Generation's hit of the year - Travel With Trashman.

At the beginning of the game, you are given a certain amount of fare money. A map of the world shows all the cities that Trashman can travel to, providing he has enough cash to do so.

The Paris job involves catching all the frogs that have been let loose by a made chef at a cafe in the Champs Elysees. No easy job this, as our hero must also avoid bumping into the waitresses and losing points.

Other possible starting points are Germant where Trashman is offered the job of collecting the empties at the Munich Beer Festival. Trashman does not have to accept the first job offer he gets. He can fly onto another destination - providing, of course, he has enough of the folding stuff to pay for his airline ticket.

The most dangerous of his early jobs, and one of the best screens in the game, is the Spanish job where Trashman has to collect up all the roses thrown into a bullring during a bullfight - the bull would prefer them to stay there.

There are ten destinations in the game altogether, and it will take a good deal of practice to visit them all.

Comparisons with Trashman I are inevitable if a little pointless as the game is really quite different. However, Travel With Trashman is slightly more difficult to get into than the first game.

Personally I prefer Trashman I, but it is no poor, reflection on Travel With Trashman that this is the case. After all, there have been very few games launched this year that are in the same league as Trashman for graphics and gameplay. If you liked Trashman I, you won't be disappointed with the sequel.
