Battletoads

Battletoads was never about re-invention, you'd have to have slept through the decade of similar games and TV shows to be completely surprised by this game, but this gets right is a few extras like quick response time, the ability to fighting enemies on both sides, useful special attacks, and multi-event boss battles. Classic party-game that is surely more fun with a friend or two playing co-operatively. There's a mix of play styles in stages to keep the action from getting too repetitive.

Praises aside, it doesn't bring much innovation, having that quarter-muncher style arcade feel, uninteresting music, and could've used a longer ending that was interesting. A few scenes seemed to just bomb the screens with enemies and near impossible survival scenarios.

It may only have one attack button, but the variety of animations and satisfaction of combat leaves this as a arcade game with variety and just enough skull cracking to leave you feeling like a badass. Play with friends on the Xbox one, thats my recommendation.
