    Think about the old Bubsy games. These games were criticized for their level design, frustrating difficulty and stiff controls. When I played "Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back", it was nothing like that. The latest entry in the Bubsy series has tight, smooth controls, great physics, awesome level design and a very manageable difficulty. In fact, it might even be too easy for some players. A huge amount of checkpoints make this game perfect for beginners. While the game may be a little on the short side with 11 levels and 3 boss battles, it offers tons of replayability resulting from its level design. Every level has collectibles like yarn balls (usually about 600 or 700), five keys for the Woolie Yarn Vault (where more yarn balls are hidden) and T-Shirts which serve both as a shield for Bubsy (allowing him to get hit twice before he dies) and as additional lives. To fully complete the game you will have to get all the T-Shirts, beat every level without dying and open all the Yarn Vaults. Even after doing all this you might want to increase your score to nab the top places on the leaderboard. The graphics are great - a lot of work has been put into the detailed backgrounds and of course in Bubsy himself. The soundtrack is outstanding (especially if you are into synth music) and fits the game very well. There are a few minor issues with this game though... some Woolies walk straight off a cliff and hang in mid-air. Bees go through solid ground (major oversight by the developers!!). Another glitch involves hitting the Windows key while playing and going back into the game - Bubsy suddenly stops talking altogether, unless you change the "verbosity" value in the option menu which enables him to talk again. The voice fits Bubsy perfectly well. Playing this game with 100% verbosity however makes it clear that the developers didn't record enough of Bubsy one-liners. It gets a little bit repetitive to hear Bubsy scream "PILOT LICENSE?! WHAT FOR?!" or "I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I'M DOING THIS... BUT I LIKE IT!!" for the 300th time. Speaking of "pilot license"... this seems to be the only Bubsy game where gliding is utilized very well! It is a core gameplay mechanic and further enhances the experience. Pro tip: Jumping and then gliding gets you a little bit of extra height.

    All in all: this is definitely the best Bubsy game ever released! This is every Bubsy fan's wet dream! It even dethrones my favorite Bubsy game, Bubsy 3D (I'm serious). True Bubsy fans already have this game but if you are on the fence - buy it! It's great value especially when it's on sale.
