<body> Three years after Thomas defeated X at the Devil’s Temple (in Kung-Fu Master/ Spartan X), his son Tommy must now save his girlfriend Lena from X’s clutches. The first five levels pay tribute to Irem’s Vigilante, with Tommy kicking and punching his way through the streets, the subway, and an arcade to reach the temple. Enemies will grab you and must be shaken off before they drain your precious energy. Hidden bonuses include food to restore energy and weapons (knives and nunchucks) to help you fight back. The next five stages see Tommy fight through the Temple itself to reach X, featuring many familiar baddies from the original Kung-Fu Master and tough bosses to defeat at the end of each level. There are also three bonus rounds, with Tommy kicking balls for additional points. After an impressive opening animation, the menu gives a choice of three difficulty levels, music or sound FX and the option to start at any stage. The animation throughout is superb, and the backgrounds are filled with plenty of detail. The great music has familiar themes from the arcade games remixed, and some excellent effects. It is tough, even on the Easy setting, but it’s hard to stop playing. This is another superb title from Graham Cowie and the team. </body>
