WG Reviews: Action 52



Oh Boy, this is going to be a huge one, since this my 1st time that i review more than 2 games at once(in this case, 53 GAMES). And its not a collection of older games on a newer console. It is a collection of back then new games on a back then relevant console. you might wonder, how could this work well. i did wonder that aswell, until i played the game and realised that it was a way too ambitious project for the developers to achieve.

Story
as you've probably expected, other than Cheetahmen 1 and 2, none of the games have a story. Score:0/10
