Graphics, Sounds, etc. The colorful and varied graphics of Gruntz can be displayed in 640x480 up to 1024x768. Higher resolutions allow you to see more of the area around you, making advanced planning a bit easier. The various worlds all look neat, with lots of animations of traps and in the background and terrain. The animation of your Gruntz all look good as they walk, play and toil.
Sound effects are wonderful.
The comments of your Gruntz are varied and often comical. Opposing Gruntz also will throw the occasional one liner at you and the sounds of battle and of the various obstacles are convincing. Music is also nicely in keeping with the somewhat zany premise and graphics. The manual does a good job of explaining the game and all of the various tools, toys and power-ups your Gruntz can employ. Even so, it almost isn't needed, since the included practice levels and hint books scattered through the levels will teach you everything you'll really need to know.
