Ever since the glowing preview in MAC 5, Chilly Chavez was tipped as
the up and coming AMOS game to watch. And now, DidsMag proudly brings
you (what I think) is the exclusive first review. 
Chilly is a mexican jumping bean who has to rescue his family from the
hands of pedro, the mad chef who intends to make them into chilly sauce.
Scary! So Chilly sets off around the world to beat him up.
The game plays very similar to the AMOS Classic Charlie Chimp, (Long 
standing readers will know I am very fond of old CC) and I think that
Chilly Chavez is probably better. If Chilly Chavez completed with 
Charlie Chimp in a horse race however, it would only win by a nose. The
graphics are gorgeous through out the whole game. People who thought the
bad dues in CC were intelligent had better think again. In Chilly Chavez they
are probably the most intelligent platform bad dudes I have seen (Bar GODS
and the CHOAS ENGINE). For example on the Arabian levels there are two 
Arabian soldiers with scimitars walking along the bottom of the screen. 
They can throw their sword at you, breath fire on the floor, and jump about
after you. The game is fairly tricky. Chilly has 6 spins in where he turns
into a human whirlwind. Any bad due he hits gets mashed! But every life
he can only do the spin 6 times. The guardians are very impressive, and to
give you an example, Spikey the hedgehog, in the jungle, can trun into a
human morning star (for those thickies who don't know what one is it is
the spikey end of a MACE or Chain MACE (See DidsMag is not just cool, its
educational too)- Anyway.) who can bounce round the screen and is invincible
from your bananna attacks apart from when he uncurls. Anyway I haven't
much space, so I'll just go straight to the verdict. (There is so much
you can say about Chilly Chavez.)
