His handover-hand scaling looks as good as that found in Stargate or Dredd. The graphics are a little dark (except for the overhead area), but the main character sprite shows tremendous detail and fluid animation. Although switching through the weapons is done automatically by the computer, running and jumping need more careful consideration - it's too easy to fall into a flaming pit or roll into a ten-story gap between buildings. Enemies reappear if you linger, so the action grows to a critical mass.Ĭontrol is a wash. You also find yourself cavorting through caverns, bungee jumping, and gliding on wires while wasting enemies and picking up life packs. At the beginning of Stage Three, shoot Simon, then cross the gap and grab the 1-up he leaves behind.Īs John Spartan, you run, jump, and climb through six levels, picking up shotguns, machine guns, and different types of grenades to supplement your standard pistol.

Now Acclaim has bought the license and made sure that every movie ever made is gonna be a game. Virgin had thoughts of releasing this game over a year ago, but weren't able to get it out. Unfortunately, most of these games are just as tiresome and stupid as the movies they're based on.
Just look how many games have featured the likenesses of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger ( Cliffhanger, True Lies, Terminator, Judge Dredd, Last Action Hero, etc.).
Putting out plot-weak action movies is a great way to get your own video game, I guess.
