True, you have to have obsessed over the original

[Highly rated reviewer]

Anyone who played Defender of the Crown on the NES as much as I did will have searched high and low for this game.

What can i say, it's not quite as good as the original (let me rephrase that - i haven't won yet lol) but all in all it does give you the classic game in a much prettier package.

There is a lot of repetition in some respects, and most people will find that annoying, but it's certainly worth giving a try to.
