Reviews from

in the past


One of the first youtube video game reviews id ever seen that would also eject my 11 year old ass into getting more into looking at all the awesome shit you could find online. Even as a kid it was very easy to see tht even though James Rolfe was playing a character, there ws genuineness and fact being shown on my friend's moms shitty dell laptop

This game looked like it sucked in the late 80s, it looked like it sucked in the early 2010s, and finally here i am having played it in the 2020s telling you that its definitely never been exaggeration LMFAO

But you could probably guess and be safe on that guess off of just 3 seconds of gameplay footage in action. This is a unique premise for a game where youre actually moving Jekyll in tandem with Hyde going from point A to point B
it sounds simple enough except your walking speed is atrocious
the enemies are all nonsensical to the point of their AI even feeling sporadic in how they want to pursue you and attack you
It's like the developers wanted to make the most intentionally aggravating kind of adventure platforming ever thatd stress you out, like putting you in the shoes of a paranoid schizophrenic person(i Imagine) thats been having a lot of consecutively bad days and everyone feels like they could set you off.
When it happens to you, and its gonna happen a Lot, you get to play as the expected big angry fuck doodooragonist and use his SUUUPER CRZY PSYCHO WAVE OH MY GAHHHHHHHHHHH AUUUUUUUUH AUHHHHH and it still fucking sucks and takes a lot of predicting to even get a kill with its insane LMFAO
like cool he can do a laser thing
thts abt it though/
your other means of attacking are utterly worthless and i came into two game softlocking bugs where a bomb blew up and i literlly couldnt move at all but all sounds kept going
its also funny to me how against all odds this is actually a pretty solid idea for a game that in anybody elses hands could make something cool with

the way its made is shit in such a highly specific way to ruin anyone's day,,, and they fucked it up even more by removing content and all that from the japanese version of the game and there's like an alt ending
which is laughable alone that theyd thikn anyone would care enough to genuinely see this game through a second time or wind up saving them by sheer chance

this is kind of dissolving into just me poking and picking at- not even a dead horse LMFAO like its not even dead this is more like just examining bones in a graveyard if anything and wondering how an animal moved around with the structure in the first place

This wont be the last time i beat an NES game of a property thats not from japan thatd get pushed and forged in japan though, because i found out there's actually more instances of this happening.. though im pretty confident Ill like a n y of them more

Also the Cover art goes hard atleast...
...
yea i got nothing LMFAO see ya
