Retro Weekends Episode 35: Plok

Well obviously I'm looking through rose-tinted glasses a bit here as this game was a childhood favourite of mine, but I do feel that this is a very unique game, especially in the way that you lose your limbs and are forced to work out how to do the levels in new and novel ways. The music is nothing short of perfect and I also love the odd British humour present in the game, it reminds me of stuff like Monty Python and such. I want to give it a 5/5 but I just can't do it because of the lack of a battery save, its a very high 4/5 for me though.

I think this is a good game, its got a lot of imagination in it and from the perspective of art design I think its first rate. Where it comes to the music in this game this is as good as the SNES can get as far as I'm concerned, you just can't realistically expect more. The graphics are nice and are full of charm and there's a high standard to the presentation as well. Its a quirky and novel game and the gameplay has some of its own ideas here and there as well, such as the way that you lose and have to recover your limbs on many stages. The different vehicles also add some variety. The one major black mark against the game is the lack of a save system, its just too long to not have one really.
