It's a road movie for kids that seems rooted in the era it was released because of the video games (arcade Double Dragon, NES Ninja Gaiden, TMNT, etc), but its themes of bonding, self-realisation and awakenings of self-worth are timeless. The handling of each one is varied, but there's enough to make the journey worthwhile. Its attempt to make the Nintendo Power Glove seem cool are less successful, but it's nothing to be ashamed of - Nintendo failed too.
2½ happy wanderings out of 5
