Xena - Warrior Princess
Ages: 13 and Over

As on the TV, our Xena slashes, kicks back flips and bashes her foes in an attempt to rescue hostages. Gabrielle isn't much help - she is kidnapped early in the game.

Our Warrior Princess needn't use only non-lethal fighting techniques .There is the Promethean blade which causes her enemies to burst into flames and her Chakram - sort of a frisbee/boomerang with a razor edge. To reward her gentler side, karma points are earned if she defeats the enemy without weapons or saves a hostage. There are a few puzzles, but basically it's a fighting game with seven worlds and 20 unique levels to battle through. The rating states animated blood and animated violence.
