Incredible, more of the old Dizzy fun, but don't expect anything more... Bigger, louder, better, what more can I say. If you are a fan of the platform puzzler this is the game for you. It's good to see more of Dizzy's family and friends, however if you are not a fan of the Dizzy games you may not appreciate its nostalgia charm.
I first played this on the Amiga; however portable Amiga emulators are not entirely 100% at the moment. Additionally there were a number of games that I played intensively on the C64 and the Dizzy range accounts for a large number of these games.

The Dizzy collection has always been a firm favourite of mine; from the C64 to the Amiga I could
play these games for hours. Platform with puzzles is basically how I'd describe this little gem. However often the puzzles are not as obvious as you first may think.
It works superbly on the PPC as well, and unlike the GP2X
The Graphics were pretty much as good as the C64 got, with some exceptions that I have seen in the Demo scene, flitters on the GP2x (perhaps my version of Frodo), fine on PPC/PC. Remember don't expect anything beyond cute cartoony platform puzzler.
Difference experiences with sound, I found it sketchy on the GP2x, yet virtually spot on the PPC/PC. Played on a C64 you'd have loved the bouncy fairytale like music and the crash of colliding with the nasty pasties. Yet once of its strongest points I find is its playability, whilst game play does not extend into hours it's one of those little gems that you can come back to once every so often just to see if you recall the solutions to the puzzles.
Graphics - Good, Amiga version better, yet not much better - Elf was a far superior media experience, but Dizzy appeals to young and old alike.
Sound - Could be better - often sounds like you're playing this on a Speccy
Playability - excellent, you'll want to stick at it until you complete it, but once you complete will be a wee while before you want to come back to it. If you love the other Dizzy games you'll love this.
Fun Factor - a dizzyfying 10 out of 10. Even now I find myself wanting to spend hours solving all the problems, however after a couple of hours you'll put it away for a little while...
