Cute, green-haired yet halfwitted creatures
Lemmings this time appear in a platform game. As the only survivor Lemming that
managed to rescue himself from the evil spell of Evil Ed, you (Lomax) must stop Evil
Ed's distracting effect over the LemmingLand. In your quest most of your enemies
will be Hench Lemmings which've been possessed by Evil Ed's evil spell. You will be
mainly using your spin attack or -when grabbed- your magic helmet to free these
imprisoned Lemmings from the spell. You have also some special abilities like
building a bridge, digging horizontally through certain obstacles (just like the
other Lemmings games) or throwing a flaming helmet that will help you to accomplish
your goal. The good news is that
Sir Lummox is smarter your average lemmings, but the levels are as frustrating as
ever. Extremely reminiscent of Rayman, the game's multi-layered 2D appearance works
comfortably well, and the controls are as good as the console version. There are
44 very in-depth levels, all of which require a lot of patience and trial-and-error
to get through. You may have to build your way over one obstacle, only to dig your
way under the next. You must also learn when to use Lomax's spin and helmet attacks
in conjunction with each other, because some enemies, for example, are only stunned
by spin attacks. Highly recommended, but be warned of the extremely high difficulty level. |
