This game is a side scrolling platform game where you are Shatterhand, a cyborg that only needs his hand to fight his way through eight levels of machines, monsters, aliens and tanks. I am no real fan of brawling games like this, but the graphics have got to be the best on Nintendo EVER. Then to put a twist on the punching (because punching would get boring), you pick up items along the way, boxes which you can select a component. Collect three components and it will make a flying robot with a different power for each of the components. Such as collect AAA and it will make a flame throwing robot, or collect ABA and it will make a robot that throws bombs across the screen. It is a fabulous game with some good challenge.

I found this game at a garage sale for a nickel. I bought it for my brother, mostly; but I have to tell you it is one of the best games I've ever played. The soundtrack reminds me so much of Contra, all though it was made by Jaleco and Contra was made by Konami. The graphics are great. The game is totally challenging, especially the final level where you take on all the bosses you've faced in the previous levels. Of course you take them on individually, but they are still challenging and you don't get any helth ups. You get power ups and such, but all-in-all it is a challenging game. I would highly recommend it to someone who is a fan of Contra or fast-paced games.
