Home Alone 2: Lost in New York Game by those nice, caring people at THQ Reviewed by Adrock adam@dmgice.com Size: 1 megabit Save: None Released: 1992 Works with: Any Game Boy **************************************************************************** Opening Snide Remarks: Well, anyone who had read DMG Ice Reviews at least 3 or 4 times, have probably read my Home Alone review. No... I was not very happy with that game. This game is... well... **************************************************************************** Gameplay Descripion: It still sucks. No real gameplay here... Your only defense against enemies is a slide attack. Yeah, this game could work... on an Atari 2600. Your enemies consist of a jumping granny and a hotel clerk throwing grenade pins in the road. That's just great. Liked: Nothing. Hated: Everything. **************************************************************************** Graphics Description: Some remarkable cinema scenes... so remarkable, you will skip through them everytime. They don't really do much to aid the story. Sprite detail is just enough to get by. Liked: Nothing. Hated: Everything. **************************************************************************** Sound/Music Description: Some badly constructed MIDI here. It is from the movie, but you won't care, since it sucks so badly. Sound FX are putrid. Liked: Nope. Hated: You get it by now, I believe. **************************************************************************** Play Control/Game Design: Control is horrible! Kevin moves very choppy and jumping is an even worse issue! No brownie points for you. Liked: Not a thing. Hated: I will just leave this blank and you can think of a phrase to put here. **************************************************************************** Improve: Hmm, could Home Alone be made into a decent game? Naww. Leave making games based on movies to Rare, who made Goldeneye one of the most popular games based on a movie of all time. Ditch the license, make an RPG or something. RIYL: This section shouldn't be in this review. **************************************************************************** Final Words: If you are a parent wanting to buy your kids this game, please, think of the children. And if you are a kid wanting to buy this game, please, stay at home and color some stars on the wall in the den. Your parents will become angry with you and discipline you. (That's the idea.) Where was this going again? Sigh. Look, I think a company knows which games will be smash hits and which ones will be crap. Most companies try to hide thier game behind the box and the advertising. Maybe you could make a better game with a development team of MORE than 4 or 5 people. **************************************************************************** Score Gameplay: 0 Graphics: 0 Sound/Music: 0 Play Control/Game Design: 0 Personal Opinion: 0 Total: 0 Final Score: %0 **************************************************************************** Currently Known Codes: If you take it back to the store with the reciept and all the original packaging, they will give you your money back. Ain't that nifty?
