Tokyo Game Show 2008 Hands-On: Spelunker for PSN
If you do, it's probably because the aesthetics haven't changed much. Though boasting updated, modern graphics, the game's visuals retain a retro-stylized feel. The 2D characters are still there.
The lifts and ladders are still in the places they would've been. Overall, it looks like an interesting title for those old-school gamers looking for a blast from the past.
Of course, the question is: How does it play? First off, the controls are simple enough. It's a 2D game with a focus on platform jumping, with other actions including: riding down elevators; leaping over pits; climbing ladders; and dodging fire, steam, and toxic liquids.
You can collect items such as bombs to demolish obstacles in your way, or keys in order to progress through locked sections of a stage.
It all sounds very simple, familiar and arcadey -- in other words, a perfect fit for a PSN game. Right?
