Bonk's Adventure -- It's great, of course. Very traditional platforming without any major new ideas (beyond having to bonk with your head, not your feet), but it does the traditional platformer really well. It's got good graphics and music, nicely varied level designs, a good variety of enemies, bonus games, continues, it lets you continue from before the first boss of the boss rush instead of having to start the whole last world over... it's just a fun game. It's not too hard, but that's just fine. Play it! :) The only real possible negative is that it's a bit short along with being easy, but oh well... it's long enough, and what's wrong with having a game you will finish, when it's this fun? Nothing, that's what. It's a great game. :)
I've heard Bonk's Revenge is even better, maybe the best of the series... I want it now. :)
(Still, it isn't a match for Sonic the Hedgehog or Super Mario World. Those games were both more innovative and more original, as well as being longer and more challenging. Those two really are two of the all-time greats, and I don't think this one is quite on that level, particularly because of the the innovation and originality of Sonic and Mario World. Still, Bonk's Adventure is a pretty good platformer that does a fine job of showing off the platform and you'll have fun playing through, and that's pretty good. And I'd like to try the sequel...)
