Radical Rescue is a very ambitious GB title. You have to give credit for that. It's a solid game. A metroidvania game that runs well and has a huge map with bosses and hidden items on the game boy!

The problem is I think it's too ambitious for what it is and what it's on. I played this game on the Cowabunga collection so that helped me with the map but the default map is kinda weak. Lots of places you think you can get to and then there is a wall. Looks like you can get there on the map but now you gotta back track and find a more obtuse way to get into that room you need to go. I can see a lot of people getting lost in this game back in the day with out a decent strategy guide. The difficulty of this game is rather tough too. It's fair but I think it's more punishing than it needs to be. Especially for a early handheld game. However this is a pretty strong game for the GB all things considered and it's quality is undenaible, plus you could do much worse.
