The puzzles are as tough as the baddies - if I had ten pence for every time CJ got spiked I would be very rich by now. Read Review
A nice looking game that delivers the goods. The USA theme comes over well with New York cops and football throwing apes in full American Football combat gear, amongst the more familiar baddies. Read Review
CJ is cute and cuddly but don't be misled - it's a tough, well put-together game. Read Review
Somewhere in the deepest, darkest reaches of the African Jungle, CJ the elephant is playing. Suddenly there is an explosion, CJ turns around and sees a plume of smoke rising from his family home. He races back as fast as he can but finds his mother, brothers and sisters gone ... KIDNAPPED and taken to America. Barely holding back his tears, he vows to rescue his family and bring the evil hunter to justice!
CJ's family have been kidnapped and taken to the USA. His brothers and sisters have all managed to escape, but they are all trapped in various states. CJ must find each of member of his family, then travel to the next state. His mother is being held by the Hunter, so CJ must first remove him before she can be free. CJ must reach the end of each level where a large foe will challenge him. He can jump, using his umbrella to break his fall.
He can fire peanuts through his trunk or throw bombs. By eating the hamburgers and hot dogs, he can replenish his energy. Invincibility pills will make him immune to enemies for a while.
Level 1 New York Harbour to Central Station.
Avoid Pit Bull Terriers, Rats, Renegade Cops, Alligators and Alligators [sic]. Stay clear of the Street Gangs.
Level 2 Chicago to Black Hills of Dakota.
The wild west including Rats, Rattlesnakes, Cowboys and Red Indians. Watch out for the Big Foot!
Level 3. San-Francisco to Los Angeles.
Keep a West Coast eye out for American footballers. A huge basketball player guards the end of this level.
Level 4. Cape Canaveral to Disneyland.
CJ's mother is hostage here, watch out for the hunter!
