DESCRIPTION

The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy puts you in the role of Dizzy, an egg-shaped fellow who must rescue his girlfriend from the evil wizard Zaks. This platform/adventure hybrid combines traditional action with solving simple puzzles like matching up keys with doors, or using a plank of wood to build a bridge over a pit of spikes. The ultimate goal is to collect the 100 stars scattered throughout the game, which allows entrance to Zaks' magic castle. Unfortunately, the adventure and puzzle elements play such a large role that the limited platform action feels tedious and unnecessary. The graphics are attractively cartoonish, but the music often comes across as high-pitched and whiny. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
