Oh crap, not THIS game. This is one of the worst games I've ever played. With a name like Dick Tracy, why would they make a horrible game out of it? Because it's a movie. And any good movie turned into a game on NES is going to be bad. So, I guess let's begin this thing. This sad, sad thing.

   --- Why isn't this as good as the movie? ---
In your police department, you can Hit the Street, look at your notepad, or ask the mugshots. Rick (I'm saying that to avoid swearing) has already found the first clue. To solve the case, I have to find the other clues. In this game, that's going to be fun. So, our mugshot of Steve the Tramp tells us to go to 5th and B. So, you Hit the Streets and drive there. But the control is so bad, it makes it harder than climbing onto ropes in Dark Castle. I have to repeat;ey rock the D-pad around, while trying not to snap onto the other streets. Your car goes flying when you turn around. It goes from going foward to being upside-down in a second. And, like Ghostbusters, you get hurt when you crash into other cars. In Mario Kart, do you get hurt? No, not unless you have no coins. It's pointless to get hurt, because with these controls, you have to hit cars. Then the snipers come along and shoot you and your car goes even more out of control. You can shoot, but it's pointless because there's nothing to shoot, and you can hit the snipers. There's no map, so it makes getting to 5th and B extremely difficult.

  --- All over a fake $20 bill? ---
Yeah, and it doesn't even sound like they SPENT it, it was found NEAR the shop... even thought it's INSIDE the shop. I mean, in Hyrule, they don't arrest you for having a fake Rupee NEAR a store. Now, the game becomes a side-scrolling game. You can beat up people, but what did they do to you? Why do you grab thier shirts and throw them to the ground? The poor guy got so hurt, he disappared! So, other than your grab and throw, you have a gun, and you can punch the crap out of people. They fly farther than that sword power-up in TLoZ: Link's Awakening flings enemies. They can even fly down the stairs... he's not stopping. Okay, here's Steve the Tramp. He looks nothing like his mugshot, more like a pale dective with green clothes. So, should I interrogate or arrest him... well, if I arrest him, I have to do that ALL over again, so I better interrogate him. He tells me to go to 9th and F. But, Rick is too forgetful (or stupid) to remeber to write the address down, so YOU have to write it down, or you have to remember it for 15-25 minutes. So, once there, you learn that if you shoot an unarmed person, you lose health. HOW IS THAT FAIR? Let's pretend that a rule in Mario is, you can't jump on a Goomba that doesn't have a birthmark on his left foot. Well, it's not THAT unreasonable, but it's still madness that if an unarmed person falls into Rick's line of fire, you get hurt! 

  --- My poor, poor Select button. ---
You push Select to switch between your fists and your gun, and you have to do that CONSTANTLEY. So, here's the first clue. Rick starts monkey-ing around on the rope before I finally figure out I have to punch the clue. So, there are footprints in the green paint in a pier. My mind is blown with all the logic that made. So, you chase this blue car, and the bullets finally come into use. Then, you catch Mr. Long-Shoulders, (no offense to anyone with long shoulders) and he tells you to go to 4th and D. Again, you have to rember it, while the clue is in the notebook.... instead of being preserved in a bag... so much logic. I figure earlier when I said he was forgetful must actually be the case because Rick forgets the notepad at his OFFICE. By this point, the snipers are going to get you, and you get one life. NO CONTINUES. So, I just have to go the clue and the 4th and D, but the only reason I remember that is because I wrote in the review! He should bring the notepad with him, write the LOCATIONS in there, and then put the clues in a bag. You know what really makes me upset? The car and you share the same life bar. It's like TMNT on NES, you and your car SHARE a health bar. It makes NO sense. So, the clue at 4th and D is in the air, but you can't jump and get it. So, you have to go really far back, climb up onto some boxes, climb all the way back the clue, and find out you're either gonna fall down in between the clue andthe platform you jump from. If you jump, you're going to land above it. So, I figure I HAVE to jump into it and punch it in midair. Now, when the moon is full and the plantets align in such a way, a Green Pikmin will come down from Earth and invade your cartridge, and you can get the Clue. Yeah, I re-used that joke from my Cheetahmen 2 review. So, the clue says to go to 1st and H, so while I'm over there I get shot by the DANG SNIPERS. So, skipping the other clues, I go and get the next clue, which tells me that Numbers, another mugshot, is hiding at 8th and J. The place is full of guys with guns, and once you finally get to Numbers, if you skipped some clues like me, when you choose to arrest Numbers, a cop tells you that you don't have nough evidence. I HAD TO GET THOSE OTHER CLUES? THAT'S UNBELIVIBLE, I mean, I see how you don't have enough evidence if you only have the first clue, but I have a clue that tells me that NUMBERS is GUILTY. That is unaccaptable. You can't get all the clues without dieing A SINGLE TIME! IT'S BULLCRAP! The sidescrolling fighting parts, you can get good at, BUT THE SNIPERS HAVE AN UNPREDICTABLE PATTERN, YOU CAN'T KILL THEM, YOU CAN'T DODGE AGAINST THEM, AND THERE ARE NO REASONS FOR NEEDING THEM! THEY DID NOT NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS PIECE OF BULLCRAP! Well, you can get out of your car and shoot them, but thier too small to hit! This game is unbelivible. This IS the worst game I think I have ever played. And because of my descion, I end my longest post I've ever made. I guess I'll see you in my next review.
