This game is a real treasure on the Colecovision. Beautifully-detailed graphics which clearly are representative of the charm of The Smurfs cartoon series. In addition, good sound effects and a whimsical music soundtrack (including upbeeat music for the outdoor daytime scenes and dark, dreary music for the scenes in the caverns and Gargamel's castle). Add to this great controls and lots of replay value, and you have a real winner.

I purchased this game when it first came out and recently sold the game and the entire system. This is one of the worst, dullest (if that's a word), most repetitive games that has ever been made. Your job as a smurf is to jump, or duck. That's the whole game jump or double jump over something or duck under a black blob (crow/bat). After about five minutes you will have mastered the game and be able to repeat it over and over and over. The only way to win however is to either pass out while playing or rip the game from the console and lock it away for all eternity. If you enjoy watching paint dry while simultaneously rubbing open cuts with cayenne pepper then you will truly enjoy this game.
