As someone who’s a huge fan of the movie this game is just alright.

It really skims the plot of the movie which is fine since it’s a GBA game but it was kinda funny to me how sections of this played out.

Aesthetically I like how the game looks and the isometric camera is something I’m weirdly nostalgic for. Levels have a variety of designs and you unlock new powers at a pretty good rate. There’s even some optional exploration but it’s really just to collect coins to earn extra lives so it’s not really worth it.

Gameplay is kinda hit or miss, there’s some pretty good puzzles and most platform sections aren’t too bad. However by the end of the game there’s some spots that are just super unfair. The Solar Surfer levels are a huge pain to play to the point that I imagine a bunch of kids who played this gave up when they got to these levels.

While I wouldn’t play it again it was neat to play a video game adaptation of one of my favourite movies!
