Platform: Game Boy Color

Product Description

In the side-scrolling platform game The Road to El Dorado, you'll play as either Tulio or Miguel, two affable thieves on their way to the rumored City of Gold--El Dorado. To get there, though, you'll need to guard against a stream of ne'er-do-wells eager to pry the map from your hands and cut you out of the loot. You'll fight, jump, and ride horses through six levels, and the game's simple controls will have you up and hunting for gold in no time. Also, The Road to El Dorado supports the Ubi Key feature, which unlocks secret levels in other Ubi Soft games, such as Toonsylvania.

Product Description

After stowing away on Cortes's ship bound for the New World, Miguel and Tulio find themselves in a strange land with no food. However, they do find part of a map that might lead them to El Dorado, the lost city of gold. You take the role of either Miguel or Tulio as they search 20 levels of action that span swamps, rainforests, Spanish galleons, and even El Dorado for treasure and the other pieces of the map. Along the way, the heroes will have to fight bulls, native warriors, Spanish soldiers, wild boars, and rhinos, and they'll also have to brave the Circle of Fire. Luckily, the heroes are equipped with swords to dispatch any problems they might run into. If you play the game well, you just might get to ride Altivo, the horse. Help Miguel and Tulio find GOLD AND GLORY: The Road to El Dorado.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Entertaining...Then What..?, December 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Road to El Dorado (Game Cartridge)

This was a fun game, one I enjoyed playing (even when I was cursing in frustration). It's got that arcade-like feel where you stroll about killing baddies using either your sword or fireball-thingys you find as you play. One nice feature is the fact that your enemies don't all attack you at once--most stay put until you get close, giving you a chance to spot them. There are several flying/sneak attack foes which are more challenging to beat. About every third level is a "boss" level where you have to defeat someone or something appproximately ten times your size--the trick seems to be to find the one spot on the foe that takes damage when you hit it (head, waist, knees, etc.) and duck a lot. What I enjoyed most about the game was finding the hidden portals and alternate routes to the end of a level. What I enjoyed least was the fact that save codes weren't given after every level, so if you got through a tough level but then died in the next, you had to do both all over again...*groan* Overall I'd say it was a good game, but I was able to beat it in a matter of days, and once I had done that and discovered all the hidden stuff, there wasn't much point in playing anymore. I'd definitely recommend playing it, because it was a lot of fun the first time through, but I'd advise renting or borrowing it first, to see if you like it enough to want to own it long-term.
