Wonder Boy (SMS, 1987)

Graphics-7.5 Sound-7.5 Control-7 Challenge-8.5
Level Design-7 Frustration-8.5 Fun-7.5 Originality-5
Overall Score-7.5
+ Skateboarding, secret levels, pretty long, fast paced, hidden items (unlock secret final level), bonus levels, invincibility power up
- Very repetitive and simple, trial & error (esp. when riding the skateboard), level design sometimes disrupts the fast pace of the game allowed by the controls, run and throw commands on the same button
