This is a great game that plays sorta like Metroid, if it were faster paced. I'm a big fan of The Phantom comics and the Phantom 2040 show, so this was a great surprise. Usually games based off of tv shows or comic books from this time sucked, but this one is a gem. The SNES version is good too, but I prefer the music in the Genesis game, and I like the controller more. Still, either version of the game is a winner in my book.
