Due to the aforementioned tedium and monotony, I also only like it in small doses.  It's fun but loooooong.

P.S. - In addition to the PC Engine Bible, check out The Bros. Duomazov and keep 'em bookmarked.

I didn't think it was too repetitive, I played it for hours when I first got the game.

Definitle a lot of fun.

I'll check out the reviews, but its more fun to get peoples take on it from the forum.

So I've gathered that its somewhat fun, a bit repetitve, good on the crapper (ie, good on TE), it stars Chun Li's orphaned baby, you push balls into things, and its been reviewed a number of times.

Great, maybe somebody on ebay has it available for under $500 so i can pick it up.

I like how unique the game is. It's repetitive but 550 levels is a ton of bang for a buck plus it mixes a good amount of strategy and action in one title. I remember playing it for over 2 hours at one time.

Nice review paul.  Didn't know about the different colour properties.

CMF is fun as f*ck.

you're some stumpy Chun Li lookin chick pushing giant balls into crap.

It's fun.

galam, everything has been said.

But you want more.

So I'll satiate your lust:

To build on what Arkhan eloquently pointed out, there is a sublime satisfaction derived from manipulating the GIANT SPHERES in this game. It's not that the physics are particularly realistic, but they grab you buy the gut. "These spheres are huge!" you whisper to yourself. "...and they hold tremendous power."

At its visceral core, Chew Man Fu is all about the balls.

You think I'm joking, or even worse, being juvenile.

But I'm not.
