Customer Reviews of Congo's Caper

Congo's Caper is a fairly decent 2D side scroller that seems like it's more geared towards kids. The graphics are cartoon-like, but for the most part, well done. The sound effects are especially child-like, especially the one when you use Congo's club and hit a pterodactyl (the kind of dinosaur that flies). The music isn't anything special, but it's not bad either. The controls are real easy to master, and the replay value is in the medium category.

In Congo's Caper, you have to use Congo and successfully complete four different worlds. The four worlds consist of a water world, a haunted place full of ghosts and vampires, a high-rising world full of lava and spouting volcanoes, and a world that is set in a valley that is full of dinosaurs. Each world has a few (about 5) levels, with a boss waiting in the last level of each world.

Congo is always equipped with a club that he can swing and hit his enemies with, but he has a few other abilities. Since Congo has been overtaken with a spell that makes him part monkey, he has great jumping ability. He can also slide and roll like a rampaging boulder. Throughout the game, you need to collect all the diamonds you can (for extra lives when you get over 100), silver slot machine items (get three in a row of the same character or item and you could get extra lives or even a warp to a further level), and apples. The apples serve as your energy. If you collect enough apples to fill up Congo's energy, Congo will be provided with an extra special ability (but I'm not going to spoil it for you). However, if you get hit so many times that you only have one energy unit left, Congo will literally morph into a monkey.

All in all, Congo's Caper isn't either a great game or a terrible game, it's average. Even though I was 15 at the time my mom bought me this game for Christmas, and even though it seems like it's more geared toward the younger generation of gamers, I still enjoyed the game. Most of the levels are real easy, with the exception of a few, and the bosses are surprisingly challenging. Congo's Caper is still fun to play from time to time even after you've beat the game from start to finish. For the players who don't want to try and go through the game in one sitting, after you complete a world, a password screen comes up, and you can write down the password and save it. And if you ever get bored playing it by yourself, you can always play a two player game with a friend, and you'll have to take turns playing it when one of you loses a life.

If you're a parent and you have kids that enjoy playing Super Nintendo games, I recommend getting them Congo's Caper. If you're an older gamer, you would probably want to pass up on Congo's Caper, but then again, you might enjoy it.
