If any of you guys know who the Angry Nintendo nerd Is, then chances are you guys have watched his review of the terrible NES game Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, a game based on the hit blockbuster movie. He warned us saying this game is so bad, it-wait, I have not watched the review in a while, so I forgot what he said, But He did say to stay away from this game as far as possible, but nobody listened, Not even me, So what is my opinion on this abomination? You will find out now.
Story-5/10
The story behind this game is that our hero Dr Jekyll is on his way to attend a wedding with his wife miss Millicent, And god knows why, But everybody and I say EVERYBODY is tring to stop him, dogs, cats, little midget dudes with slingshots, you name It. But If you are good, then maybe the wedding will go good after all! Oh yeah, when He gets too angry, He turns into the savage beast Mr Hyde. So that is it for the story.
Gameplay-2/10
In this action adventure side scroller game, You will take the role of Dr Jekyll as you try to get to your wedding with wedding with Miss Millicent while avoiding a bunch of weird creepy and absurd enemies, which include kids shooting slingshot pellets at you, Cats, Dogs, townspeople that drop bombs that can explode and hit you from far away, etc. In the top left hand corner of the screen, there are 2 gauges, A life meter, and one that shows how long until you turn into Mr Hyde, As you get hit, the life meter will start running out, And once It runs out all the way, You turn into Mr Hyde, at this state, You will be engaged into dark nighttime stages where you control the hideous beast Mr Hyde running to the right shooting enemies with His psycho wave, least this feels better then the normal Jekyll levels, were you get a lousy cane that doesn't do jack! Hey when you come to think of It, all this about Daytime stages and nighttime stages is making me think alot of Sonic unleashed here! But what the heck, Sonic unleashed is way better then this game....
Graphics-4/10
My word! What in the world am I supposed to be looking at? A horrible looking nightmare world? Because that is what this game looks like! I swear to god, there are way better looking movie games on the NES then this, Like batman, terminator, etc. But don't even tell that they didn't even try with this game, because they didn't! All the backgrounds and levels that you will be exploring are very dull and don't even have that much detail to them to be honest. As for the sprites, I can't even tell what they look like! Everything looks like the developers put a bunch of garbage on the screen on called It a day. I can't even say anything anymore, NEXT!
Sound-3/10
Ouchy, my ears! I know the developers of this game were trying to go for a rather scary and spooky soundtrack, But this is not the way to go at all! There are only about 1-3 songs in this whole game, Jekyll, Hyde, Death, and I think that Is about It. As for the sound effects, they are without a doubt aome of the most annoying sound effects I have EVER heard in a NES game! You get generic explosions, cat meows, well you get the point, generic everything!
Addictiveness-2/10
You should already know what I am going to say on this portion of the review, No, no, no, no and oh yeah, I think I forgot something, yes, NO! I would not play this game with a fox in a box, with a mouse in a house, with a goat on a boat, a cat in the hat, and yeah! I don't think the game should pe played more then once, you should all know why.
Depth-1/10
Absoultley no replay value period! You beat the game once, You just put It away forever, Because there is nothing to It! The game isn't that long really, It's only like 4 levels and they are all very short and hard to get past, People like me do not want to play these kind of games more then once, Only a madman would do that!
Difficulty-9/10
Say it with me! The difficulty is the highest point of this game period! I remember once I could not get past the 3rd or so level because of those freaking bombs dropping all over the place. This game ain't no calkwalk, I 'm dead serious, You die one time, You're all the way back to the beginning!
Overall-2.0/10
Must I say more? No! You guys should already know not to buy this game! It is a waste of your time, life, money, and everything else. I can't imagine finishing all my homework on a Friday, then taking a visit to the game rental store and seeing only this laying on the shelves, Why not put another game there? But anyways, take the AVGN'S advice he gave us. I gave this game a 2.0 because How unplayable broken and tedious everything in this game is, Sorry, I can't recommend this game to anyone. Do not buy It.
