Not a bad game in spite of the subject matter . Nice touches here and there ... Olé Toro is worth a try.

Where else can you fight a bull with the only risk of getting bored ??

Very original game, if not only for the idea it explores (I believe it wasn't very popular within the animal rights community). Being myself an animal lover, I must confess I did played the game a few times, after all it was just a game and who didn't blown up creatures including 'humans' in shot-em-up games?

Moving on. The graphics are superb, but calling this an action game may mislead some players, because you mainly only press a specific key in a specific moment in each level, thus repeating itself over and over. The trick is knowing when and be fast enough. Yes, there is action, but feels more like a reflex testing game.

The idea and atmosphere is highly original but as a game it's rather limited and boring. Works well as a curiosity game. Also features a cute bullfighting themed tune, nice graphics and interesting animated touches along the way, but have a cup of coffee next to you just in case you fall asleep.

Mind you, you should read the instructions if only to know which keys the game uses, otherwise you will be wasting your efforts.

The first videogame addressing the nowadays controversial world of bullfighting was dissapointing. Behind a beauty artwork, a friendly starting tune and very atmospheric graphics of the Seville ring there's a very poor game. You must face six bulls to gain the glory. But the game only consists of pressing a key in the appropiate moment in every stage.

While this game was published in Spain building interest and curiosity (it was never be seen something similar before) it was released in the UK with a great polemic. Too much controversy for a too much poor game.

I'm against it, sorry.
1/5

Bullfighting isn't enjoyable as a whole and this game is even less enjoyable. It's too complex for the humble home computers with the amount of keys you need to press so why bother. But you know what makes this game more enjoyable? Watching the matador get wiped out by the bull instead! ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY BULL!
