Summary
The world of videogames is chock-full of platformers and strange characters. Put these two elements together and the number of games, past and present, is mind-boggling. Spring 2003 sees the arrival of yet another quirky title in the weird form of Dr Muto, the archetypal mad scientist.
Sporting the obligatory white lab coat and a shocking amount of hair all over his head, Dr Muto is in a bit of a pickle, due to his accidental destruction of the planet. Luckily for the doctor, if not for the rest of the planet's inhabitants, there are nearby planets to be plundered for resources to hopefully restore his home to its former glory. Numbered among these resources are the living creatures that populate the other planets, and these creatures are the key to the doctor's success. Muto can take DNA from a selection of these creatures and morph into a cross between a mad scientist and a spider, for example, to enable him to access different areas of the game. With 22 levels to explore and conquer, there's a lot of morphing into different shapes and sizes to be done - all with the help of extracted DNA.
Doctor Muto is nothing more than an adventure platformer at heart, but for PS2 gamers looking for a few laughs, and gameplay that starts easy and gets tough quick, therefore increasing the challenge and longevity, the doctor will see you now.
