Let's see, is that Acclaim's logo on this game? Yes, I think it is. Well then, this must be a steaming pile of turd if Acclaim have their name on it. But wait, shouldn't I be more mature about this? I guess so but first let me say that this game really is awful. This comes as a surprise to me because many PlayStation owners actually regard this as quite a good game. Now, I've never played the PlayStation game or the PC version for that matter but what I can say is that if this Saturn version is the same as the other two versions then those guys just have no taste in games.

Let's see. There are so many problems with this game that I don't even know where to begin. Let's start with the stages. These aren't even real time but FMV based! Talk about piss poor programming. What makes this lazy decision even worse is the fact that the FMV doesn't even move smoothly plus it only goes forward making it impossible to back track. Now let's talk about the controls. These are so bloody stupid. No only are they sluggish beyond belief but the button mapping is insane. Pushing on the D-Pad to punch? What's that all about? Now for the graphics. They are poor in every respect. Ugly polygon models, poor blocky textures and clipping.

Yes, this is one awful game. But we all knew that anyway, didn't we. Only Acclaim released crap every time.
