Ark! Judge Doom is planning to ruin Toon Town and has already killed the mayor just to prove that he means business. Roger must rescue Toon Town from the terrible fate that Doom has in store and at the same time rescue his wife Jessica from an evil kidnapping plot. And how does he go about all this? He scrolls around Toon town in a sort of graphic adventure cum shoot-out, that's how!

Actually it's not that bad, and there's enough variety in the arcade sequences to make it worthwhile. The horrible weasel henchmen of Dr. Doom chase poor Roger around the screen and take pot shots at him, popping out of manhole covers and the most unusual places in order to do him down.

Real fans of the movie will be pleased with the representation of Roger and the lighthearted nature of the whole thing, but real gamers may find that it's a bit lacking in the action department.

There's a reasonable amount of adventuring to do, although this really consists of simply taking an object from one place to another in order to be told to take a different object somewhere else.

The graphics throughout are amusing enough and reminiscent of the film in a rather blocky, black and white sort of way, and the whole thing adds up to just about enough fun per p. And anyway, it's a nice change to see Capcom handling a cutesy product after their interminable run of ball-busting combat shoot-outs.
