Last Action Hero
From: Sony Imagesoft
Year: 1993
Format: Super Nintendo
Arnie hits some baddies...Yippee...
Comments:
Not a particularly good scrolling beat-em-up. Starts with Arnie heading into a school that has been taken over by an axe wielding maniac. The only problem is every time Arnie starts to walk towards the school, the screen stops scrolling and a baddie walks on. This is where the fun stops. You have TWO moves. Punch and kick. That's it. No jumping or crouch variations, just punch and kick and both do the same amount of damage. To make matters worse kick is so slow that you can only really use punch unless you like getting hit. After finally killing one bad guy another appears from behind. Kill him and another walks in in front. Kill him and you get to walk a bit more until the screen stops and the same thing happens again. After a while you get several baddies attacking at once. Wow! The graphics and sound aren't that great either and it's none too easy. I wouldn't bother with this one...
Other versions of Last Action Hero:
Format: Sega Megadrive/Genesis
From: Sony Imagesoft
Year: 1993
Comments: Roughly the same as the SNES version. The major difference is that as you approach the school building a sight follows you and fires shots at you. I found this version a lot easier than the SNES one hence the pictures taken from the later stage of the game. Don't get me wrong though, this still isn't that great a game.
Format: NES
From: Sony Imagesoft
Year: 1993
Comments: Yet another bad scrolling, platform beat-em-up. The sprites are tiny, the graphics, sound and music are all pretty ropey and the game itself is difficult, dull and no fun to play. Top this off with poor presentation and you've got yet another forgettable movie tie-in.
Format: IBM PC

Year: 1993?
Comments: Not a very good action game. Basically a scrolling beat-em-up with top-down driving bits in between.
Format: Nintendo Gameboy

Comments: A scrolling action game that's actually good! The graphics aren't bad either.
