Ever heard about Project Overkill on the PlayStation? This is very much like that. There are tons of secret locations, keycards, explosives, etc. It's pretty much the Doom formula but with an isometric view and strange controls. Once you get used to the tank controls (It didn't take too long for me since I don't mind them), you should have a blast. The graphics here are so 90s, and I find them quite appealing. The cheesy fmv scenes are the cherry on top. The music is some of the best from a 32-bit system as well. For a sample, check out the main theme on Youtube. It's incredible. As for the actual gameplay, it's very fun and addictive. Something about these obscure types of Doom clones from the 90s has always interested me, and I feel like most players would end up enjoying this once they get used to the strange controls.
The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean stages are super fun NES platforming gauntlets. The rest are dumb gimmicks. For instance, Space Mountain has been reduced to an overly easy and boring quick time sequence. This is certainly only worth playing for those 2 platforming stages, and maybe the trivia. This is a great example of lost potential.
To everyone who hates this game all of a sudden, screw off! This is an innovative classic, and it's one of the most fun and exciting arcade titles that I've played. The controls take a while to get used to, but once you start to get them, you'll be having a blast. The attacks and jumps are extremely satisfying to pull off, and the vertical layouts of the levels here make it stand out quite a bit from its peers. Strider is also pretty challenging, but it's also not too frustrating like other arcade games from around that time. I've beaten this more times than I can count, and I still love it. I'll never understand the recent hate for a lot of these old Arcade classics. I mostly play the Genesis version, which is a fantastic port. Stay away from the PlayStation one. It's very lazily made.
