I don't care what they say. Plok was a fun game. The character design was generic and bland, but the game was fun. And Plok had the original ability to launch his limbs at enemies, a trait later to appear in the slightly more successful Rayman franchise.
I'm surprised that the article didn't mention any characters from Nintendo's Punch Out series. King Hippo? That was a messed-up character. But the game was still insanely fun...
