I was a big Captain Planet fan. I had the figurine back in the day and the ring, so you can imagine how excited I was when I saw a Captain Planet game! What more could you want? Four of the five planeteers are playable with a level or two each (the box says 9 levels altogether but that would be pushing it. I think they would be including the bosses as a separate level). Ma-Ti is left out. I guess they couldn't figure out how to adapt his power to the game. He does pop up with some advice before entering each level though. The Planeteers are captured by a separate well known eco-villain from the TV show and are freed by completing the level. They then combine their powers to summon Captain Planet. What's a little different to most games is that instead of having a certain amount of lives, you just have one hour to complete everything. If you die, you can just have another attempt. The levels are different enough from each other but maintain platforming and shooting aspects. As a youngster I was never able to complete all of the levels to then play as Captain Planet in the final level. Going back to it, they really aren't that difficult. The final level with CP is a pain in the ass though. The aim is to destroy all of the weapons on a ship that is housing the villains, then defeat the boss. There are projectiles coming at you from everywhere, particularly under water, and controlling Planet to go the way you want him to can be problematic. I'll be honest, I lost it a few times. The difficulties range from easy, medium and hard, and I think when you complete the game, cheat mode becomes available where you have an unlimited amount of lives/powers. The graphics are decent with some nice touches, particularly in Linka's level. I enjoy some of the music too but there is a huge omission. The theme song isn't featured!
