Honestly this does look better than the NES one. I loved the movie in theaters, coming on the heels of Batman, and I thought the trailer was actually for Batman 2 at first. I have rarely been so disappointed by a videogame rental in my entire life. I tried so hard to have fun with it, but the broken design just made that impossible. Watch the AVGN review on it, it covers everything better than I could. I think I would have had a better time with this game, in all truthfulness. Oh, and I bet the reason you fall so slow is that they did not code in any form of acceleration, everything appears to move at a single set speed that doesn't change. Mario doesn't automatically slow down and speed up, there's very clever coding involved there that these people did not bother with.
@@baulty And I have to stick up for the sequels a little bit. With no Raimi and no Neeson, Arnold Vosloo did his best to carry on, and the stunt and effects teams put the work in. Mostly they lack in writing and style, but there are far worse sequels out there (Lookin at you Starship Troopers), the Darkman ones are not painful to watch, merely mediocre. I actually love how shameless they are about the return of Durant,t hey show his death scene in the helicopter explosion as a henchman says some BS line about how the boss was lucky to only be put in a coma from it. It's hilarious, and sets the right tone and expectation for what's to come.
@@baulty They're Hellraiser sequel bad. I mean they're like Darth Vader, I believe there is good in them, but you have to look really hard to see it. The second is complete sci fi channel level trash, never should have had the label slapped on it, has nothing to do with the main bugs of the franchise. The third is relevant to the main war, at least, and Casper Van Dien even came back, and we finally get the power armor suits from the book, but they only had 5 dollars for the cgi, so it's the worst ps2 level graphics roger rabbited in with the real sets and people, but the rest of the movie is probably the best, it actually tries to emulate the satirical tone of the first with the news segments and the computer screens "Would you like to know more?", and does a half decent job of it. Beyond that I don't have clear memory, but the fully cgi one was all right, but it did not have any satire left by that point.
Always good to see Bishop
Dude, great intro
Cheers👍
This deserves so much more attention
