A nice tie-in from Ocean which follows closely the plot of the movie; I like the mix of styles from a stage to the other, even if the bulk of the game is in fact a beat 'em up-meets-platformer, maybe not too original but very well done. Graphix are pretty cool, gameplay rather smooth, difficulty curve is reasonable. An in-game music maybe would have helped, though I like it better than the silly Amiga version.

Another pretty good movie licence from Ocean. It was really just a platform game but fun with it. Gfx and sound were nice enough too. Not brilliant but good enough. :)

Looks good, sounds good, plays spectacularly ordinarily.

Looks nice enough. Good sprites and animation is decent, but I'd rather hew my foot off than churn my way through this dreary punch em up. 4/10

Quite good and sort of playable beat 'em up. Nice gfx. Loading time from tape quite long, as a slower version of the Freeload loader was used, but honestly it's worth the wait. :)

Awesome film, shame about the game. Mad choice for a licence though, Ocean really would adapt anything in those days.

Not a great game but still an okay platformer. I buy that game back then 'cause I loved the amigaversion. The good thing is that I watched the movies 'cause that game. It's still one of my favourite movies. :D

Quite a good little game this. I'm surprised at the lack of comments for this, musn't have sold well.

Not much fun to play, although the graphics looked really quite good from time to time.
