Novel in its deep hideousness. Makes you wish you were playing console MK4. Presumably designed as a last resort in case of childhood boredom emergencies.

Quite a bit better than Virtua Fighter 2 on the Sega Genesis, twice as good as Deadly Alliance on Gameboy Advance, and 50 times better than Mortal Kombat Advance. You can sidestep, Korean backdash, juggle… it’s basically a shockingly functional (albeit stripped-down) Tekken 3 de-make on the GBA.

Obviously there are technical limitations in play (sprites, smaller roster, smaller moves list, less buttons, no Tekken Force or Ball) but when you look at the overall library of fighting games on GBA, having one that works this well is quite the treat.

Conman’s Last Hunt
Entry 8

The act of hitting enemies is so simplistic and unsatisfying that it might as well auto attack like it’s an mmo. This has the art of Ultimate Spider-Man, but it lacks its significantly more satisfying player control. It also lacks Venom.

The inclusion of a playable Green Goblin makes sense, as it’s a prequel to a game where you zip/crawl as Spider-Man and then wreck shop as big boy Venom. Unfortunately his Ultimate design is stupid and ugly and his gameplay is bad.

Spider-Man himself doesn’t fare much better, as the enemies and obstacles have ridiculous hitboxes; every enemy is Donatello from the NES Ninja Turtles game. Even fire can hurt you by proximity, which I guess is realistic but that’s a generous stretch. Frustrating in an uninteresting way.

Not a very fun videogame.
