i really did not like this. it was just boring because of lame combat and level design and feels like it was made to eat up your money if you want to realistically beat it. obviously that's not a problem on emulation but it doesn't feel that fulfilling to die and feel like i really didnt have much control over my death, and then just hit start and do it all over again with infinite quarters. you can also play with 2 other people but it doesn't make the game any more manageable or enjoyable. the art is good and i like the 16-bit versions of the michael jackson songs but thats about it, i guess also at the very least it's short lol
I don't think there will ever be another celebrity whose levels of popularity and fame were so high that they got put on every product possible, Michael really was one of a kind. As for the game? It's an alright coin-muncher based on the film of the same name, but with our without context it's insanely bizarre. Still, it's pretty fun for what it is, although way too difficult. Plus, let's be honest, only reason to play this is for the novelty of playing a damn Michael Jackson action game.
I like the part of the game in between levels where the MJ "OW!" clip breaks the sound barrier and everyone in the arcade looks in your direction, that's my favorite thing for sure.
