There's a ton of combustible enjoyment to be had as you scroll up, down and sideways across the lengthy campaign of Ms. Splosion Man. The level design is often complex, so don't get discouraged if you must replay a particular section a few times to solve the puzzle. When finished, the game unlocks a multiplayer mode that features new level designs.

The most annoying drawback is the heroine's voice. Thankfully, you have the option to mute the audio.


RATING T for Teen

PLOT Ms. Splosion Man has to save her companion

DETAILS Xbox Live Arcade, 800 Microsoft points (marketplace.xbox.com for info)

BOTTOM LINE Great send-up of classic 2-D games
