A good GnG title that no one talks about. No double jump, no special armour, so a lot more akin to the original GnG. Controls are smooth and give you a lot of control. Has some difficult bosses, namely 4th and 6th bosses, but in a fun way imo. Graphics look good for a monochrome handheld. Also, there is a "tips" menu that allows you to activate cheat codes and a stage select, but to unlock them you have to complete certain tasks, which gives a little incentive for replaying the game. There's also a split path at one point. One of the stage leadibg off that has you rotate the Wonderswan 90 degrees for a stage, which is pretty cool imo! Even saves your progresd, so it's not as bs as GnG nes. However most of the music is pretty bad (cough cough title screen cough). It has a rendition of the classic GnG theme in Stage 1 but it's slowed down and doesn't carry the same oomph as the original. The track for Boss 6, Tiamat, does slap though. Perhaps it's a little easy, but honestly it was perfect for my skill level. All in all, a brilliant little game. If you like the look of the original GnG but find the difficulty a bit too daunting, give this game a try. It might be just right for you

To quote a butchered version of Kamen Rider Kuuga's opening.
