Best Version: Genesis

— This section contains spoilers! —

Good

  • The art, music, and play control are professionally made. Very unusual for a tie-in game.
  • The falling block puzzle was very unexpected, but appreciated after so much platforming.

Bad

  • The game is actually fairly challenging, they just give you too many hit points and too many lives.
  • Like most tie-in games, the game has very little to do with the thing it's advertising. It's as though the developers already had a game in mind, and just pasted a McDonald's skin on it.

Ugly

  • Nothing.
