International Karate

Hey yah, International Karate for the Amstrad. Yeah! Great, let's load it. Oh my God, turn it off. Quick!!!!!

International Karate is, as you may have already guessed, one of those Fist rip-offs. Fortunately, it's very good on the C64, but the Amstrad version is a disappointment.

The game has the basic Karate moves but it has one very speical feature... The Flying Kick. The flying kick is, I would say, pathetic. When you perform this move, you must rise, oh, at least two and a half inches off the ground.

The rest of the action is pretty wooden and if karate is like this then no wonder it's a dying art!

If we had a symbol for a very naff game, I'd give this one three of them.
