Taito Legends Power-Up

Cheap, cheerful and a good laugh, even if it does lack a little longevity.

Certainly won't make your PSP break a sweat, but the multiplayer options are good and we'd rather play this than yet another dull retro collection. [Christmas 2006, p.97]

Kazook is like "Ape Academy", but without the apes. Oh, and the fun. [Dec 2006, p.95]

To put it simply, if the idea of thirty very simple arcade games with no real objective other than good old fashioned high score setting appeals and you can put up with the strained atmosphere of craziness then you may get some fun out of this well presented but ultimately flawed collection.

Kazook is ultimately about as appealing as your dad dancing at your own party. And nobody wants that.

Undoubtedly a valiant attempt by Monte Cristo to bring simplistic party games to the PSP, even if it falls completely flat on its face.

The games are irritating and forgettable, the scoring system is bizarre, the play modes make no sense and the constantly shrill urban-cartoon-hipster presentation feels like some ninja chav just injected a pint of boiling hot Red Bull into your eyeballs.
