Penguin Kun Wars

(Japan Only)

Cuteness gone awry... You play as a Penguin and throw balls at your opponent. It's like dodgeball on some sort of consciousness altering drug.

Ironhawk's Review

Graphics: 8        It's 1985 so I'll give them a break.  But it still looks bad.

Sound: 2            I gave it one point per sound channel of music.

Playability: 8      A simple and fun play.  Simply fun!

Concept: 8        Were penguins and koalas really the best choice?  Otherwise, a solid concept.  Is this thing based on a real sport?

Retro Value: 7   Great Krypton!  Our only chance of survival is to pick up this game for entertainment.  It's just crazy enough to work.

Overall: 8          One of the best games in the Kun Wars series.  Almost as good as Donkey Kun Wars.


Nightowl's Review

Graphics: 8    They max out the number of sprites you can get on the NES with out slowdown. That gets it an a plus. Some more arenas would be nice...

Sound: 0    One... Mu...sic... track... kill me...

Playability: 9     No problems here. But sometimes the combo system cheapness is just plain stupid.

Concept: 5    "(Smokes pipe) Hey... why don't we make a dodgeball game.... with penguins! All right! Jackass is coming on!"

Retro Value: 2    For some reason... I just can't really get into it. It's a good game. But the way it's set up... you may never get to play your buddy.

Overall: 6    Cute, fuzzy, cuddly... I'll stick to Beanie Babies.
