Nothing to do with GI Joe, but there's still plenty of action to be had here.
In this action platformer, your character can kick and punch his enemies, while also utilising a range of nasty weapons like nunchaku, pipes and chainsaws. The ability to grab ledges and pull yourself up makes the platforming quite fluid, and it's reflected in the level design. There are occasional shoot 'em up bonus stages where you ride a giant bird, but most of the action is in the platforming - which is good, because it's one of the better examples of the genre.

Yet another in the long line of platform games on the list, and it's another pretty playable entry. I do like the detailed environments, various weapons and smooth action, and I'm pretty sure this wasn't ported to another system, so if you're a fan of the action platformer genre, give it a whirl.
