Home Alone Review by: Totts - 9.4/10
Home Alone is a great game to play at Christmas time, so grab your mince pies and a glass of egg nog, throw another log or turn up your electric 'fire' and settle down for many hours of festive fun. Firstly, it has the distinction of being one of the few movie-to-game ventures that hasn't totally flopped and secondly it is a fun and creative game with a hge amount of variation to play with.

This game starts off at the climax of the movie when the "Wet Bandits", Harry and Marv, are coming to Kevin's neighborhood in search of loot, and Kevin's the only one there to stop them. Your job as our hero Kevin is to stop the two bandits with whatever household items you can find, and prevent the five houses on your block from being looted and flooded. While the game could've followed the path of most platform action games, the developers instead decided to create a more intellectual, slightly slower-paced game that relies on planning and careful use of items rather than complicated jumps and shooting. The end result is a fun and entertaining game that is a unique and enjoyable take on the standard action genre.

You, playing as Kevin, must stop Harry and Marv in their evil pursuits. You do this by "saving" all five houses on the block; to save a house, you must inflict a certain amount of damage to Harry and Marv before they take a certain amount of loot. (Each house has conveniently placed safes, which are quite conspicuous, and which Harry and Marv can break into easily!) The "Pain" and "Loot" meters at the top of the screen show Kevin's and the Bandits' respective positions.

How do you inflict damage? By setting traps, and using weapons. You can find many household items and goodies on the shelves and on top of the furnishings in each house, and there are also occasional goodies outside in the snow, which you can get with your sled. Many objects you find can be used as traps: marbles, tar, or toys can be placed in houses to trip up or otherwise inconvenience bandits, and other items such as blowtorches can be put above doors to give the bandits a nasty surprise. Before you enter each house you can place your traps anywhere in the house with the aid of a blueprint; clever placing is a great way of increasing pain and also slowing down the looting. Be careful, though, since Kevin can slip on the marbles, ice, etc. that he himself has set.

Most objects and items you find that aren't traps are used for making weapons. Kevin's default weapon is the BB gun, which does a small amount of pain and holds up the robbers for a bit. However, you'll want to use the items you find to make more powerful, creative, and fun weapons. By combining, say, a crossbow, balloons, and pepper (all three components can be found in surprising abundance in the houses), Kevin can make a pepper rifle. By changing the pepper to glue, you can make a glue rifle, and by changing the crossbow to a rubber band you can make a glue mortar. There are literally dozens of combinations you can make: glue, pepper, snow, rope, and more can be used as projectiles, which can be shot out of rifles, bazookas, launchers, or mortars. Each weapon has its advantages and disadvantages. Some incapacitate Harry and Marv for longer periods of time, while some inflict more pain. The amount and type of ammo used by each weapon also vary, and you can assemble (provided you have the correct items) or disassemble weapons at any time.

Thus, the gameplay mostly consists of collecting items either in the snow or from shelves, then setting traps and creating/using weapons with the items you find. Harry and Marv will chase you if they see you while they're busy looting; if they catch you, they'll stick you onto a clothespin and you'll waste valuable time in squirming and wriggling to get loose. On top of this hazard, most houses also have a "guardian" of sorts that can hurt and incapacitate Kevin and the "Wet Bandits" alike. These nasties range from a ghost in the colonial house, to a cat in the country house, a security robot in the ultra-modern house, and a spider in Kevin's mansion.

The gameplay is quite fun and enjoyable. There are lots of items to collect and many weapons that can be made, and experimenting with the weapons and effects is amusing. The traps are also fun and the clever placement of traps and usage of weapons will not only guarantee a victory for Kevin, but also provide a few laughs from the bandits' antics. On top of that, each house has its own distinctive feel. There's a good deal of strategy involved - not only with the placement of traps and usage of weapons, but also in the acquiring of items (some of which are in very hard-to-reach places and require extra planning), and this combination of strategy and fun is a good one.

The graphics and sound are about what you'd expect for an early Genesis game. The characters move pretty fluidly and the animations are pretty good, and there's lots of variation in the graphics as you go from house to house. The weapon effects are also unique and well drawn. The rendering of the chaacters is also fairly faithful to the characters in real life', Harry, Marv, and Kevin also have the general body shape of their movie counterparts. The game also manages to be pretty colorful and it usually looks good, so the graphics get the job done and the snowy background certainly adds to the festive fel.

The same could be said for the sound, it does what it's supposed to,in that it helps to set the mood. Each house has its own musical score, and the tunes vary from a "typical" orchestral melody in Kevin's Mansion, to a twangy, Banjo-ish tune in the Country house, to a technical beat in the ultra-modern house. All the scores work well with the general mood and themes of the houses. The weapon effects are fair: the sound varies as you change platforms (launchers) or ammo, but nothing really stands out. As with the graphics, the sound is fairly good and helps the general atmosphere.

The control is not complicated - 'A' drops a tire (you can collect tires and then place them on locations where you need a jumping boost); 'B' shoots your weapon; and 'C' jumps. The 'A' and 'B' buttons are okay (there's little delay when it comes to shooting, so that's good). In terms of jumping there can sometimes be a bit of delay between your hitting the 'C' button and Kevin actually jumping, but this is not always a major problem as you have to think more than just randomly jump like in other games. Climbing the stairs is achieved through the directional pad, and this can be a pain if you don't get it right (getting the diagonals on the D-pad can be hard if you're in a hurry or if you're flustered!). The game, however, is highly playable and you should get used to the

The game has a hight replayability factor in that there are lots of variations that can be made; for one, the items and their locations are randomized each time you play. The general placing of the items won't change a whole lot, but the items you find at each location will change. Plus, there are many different weapons and traps for you to assemble/set, and that combined with the variation of items ensures that the game won't play the same way each time. It will also take you a few good plays before you familiarize yourself with all the houses and the surrounding neighborhood, and even after you've done that the variation in items and weapons will still spice up the game. The fact that the game is just plain fun to play also helps.

Finally, there are two difficulty modes, Normal and Expert. In Expert mode there are more traps and weapon components (the Expert weapons are all fun and unique, and are nothing like the regular weapons). In Expert you must hold off the bandits for forty minutes, instead of twenty, so there's a bit more challenge. Also, in Expert the bandits will randomize their route, instead of going to houses in a preset pattern like they do in Normal mode. This plays havoc on your trap placement because now you can't plan ahead too far, although you still can think ahead to some extent by watching the movement of the bandit's van.

Home Alone overall is a great game. Its style and approach are both unique and enjoyable and there are few games that are quite like it.

Glitch:
Freeze a Bandit

In the Old House, go upstairs and stand in the bathtub. Wait until Marv or Harry comes and let them jump onto the tub, then quickly shoot them. Exit the tub and whoever you hit will start walking into the wall and will not move unless you touch them or leave the house. You can also get both in there if timed correctly.

Secrets:

Old House Attic

At the Old House, go to the top floor and into the bedroom, all the way on the right. Jump onto the bed, and place a tire. Jump on the tire to bounce Kevin onto the ledge. Place another tire and jump onto it to bounce Kevin into the attic. Up here are multiple items and the Wet Bandits cannot get up here. Watch out because like on the regular floors, Kevin can make holes in the roof and fall through.

 ... cannot assemble the complete list of weapons in the game. Expert mode is required for this. Look up the weapon combinations in the guide at gamefaqs.com. The link is posted on this page. Hope this makes the game more approachable.

 A few things made this game more fun once I discovered them. 1) You can tell which house the bandits are in by their blue van parked outside. 2) You can only place traps if the bandits aren't inside. 3) Beginner mode assembles weapons for you but...
