Edit, it's an OK review, but he certainly doesn't have much experience with game. He seems ignorant of the fact that you can run at any time, the multiple endings, and the 2nd playable character (she's just a clone, but still).
I agree, the sprites are great, the moves are exaggerated, giving them a more modern look than most action games of the time.Another move some people might not know about is the one i show below, it helps speed up the game, since enemies can not defend against it.
