Review: Chu Chu Rocket

Review by BADHARE | 06/14/2001 | 12:50:17 PM PST

Sega?s game of cat-and-mouse scurries onto the Game Boy Advance with great results.

Chu Chu Rocket holds up well in its conversion from Dreamcast to handheld?so well, in fact, you have to wonder if it wasn?t conceived as a portable game first. In this 2D puzzler, four players (computer and/or link-cabled humans) race to collect scurrying mice by placing arrows on the playfield, thereby directing the lil? rodents into your goal. Random events, like all mice being replaced by evil cats or player targets suddenly swapping, keep things hectic. Chu also has a puzzle mode for single players, along with a level builder.

The GBA handles the humble graphics and Disney-sweet music without breaking a sweat, and the control?while less elegant than the Dreamcast?s?will feel comfortable to Tetris vets. Linked battle matches means there?s plenty of gameplay fuel in Chu Chu Rocket.

Note: This review was based on the Japanese boxed version of the game.
