The graphics are very good for the NES. I would say that they are as close to 3-D as anything on the NES. They have a 3-Dimensional feel.
The control is good. I would reccomend the 90 degree controls over the 45 degree, but whatever you like is OK. 90 is definately for beginners.
The sound is cool. It's really nothing remarkable that sets it apart from the billions of other NES games, but still very good.
This is a fun game. It has a good learning curve and great graphics to boot. This one of the better puzzle games for the NES, of course not as good as Tetris. I would reccomend this to anybody who likes puzzles, a challenge and action games.
