I never had this sort of game when I was a kid. My gaming career started with the gamecube. That being said Wonder Boy (or Wonder Girl as I played) Is a great game for anyone who likes platformers. The art style for the redone graphics is beautiful, and the music feels epic. Being able to switch between retro and modern graphics and sound really shows how far games have come in the past few decades, The gameplay is simple and grows naturally as the game progresses. The only gripe I had with the game was the controls felt a bit floaty, however all that took was a little getting used to, and I was able to jump with ease.
