Opening Snide Remarks: I bought this game for my cousin for Christmas a few 
years ago.  I have to admit, the only reason that I bought this game is 
because it was cheap.  I also did not care for the movie on which this game
is based on. 

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: TLM is basically made up of 2 kinds of gameplay-the main
game is a run-'n-gun type of game like Contra, the other is a 3-D maze type
of game.  The run-'n-gun sections are pretty cool.  They're actually pretty
fun.  The 3-D maze sections are ok, but the touchy controls get old quickly.
If you make a mistake in this section, you lose a life and have to start 
over.  Overall, this is a decent game.      
Liked: Decent gameplay.
Hated: Touchy controls.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The graphics of TLM are excellent.  The run-'n-gun 
sections' graphics are pretty good.  They don't look a whole lot better than
the original Contra, though.  The maze sections' graphics were 
groundbreaking.  It still looks like CG.  It's amazing to see these graphics
on the SNES.
Liked: Maze sections.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: TLM has some decent music.  It's pretty much 
standard videogame music.  The sound fx are no better. 
Liked: Decent music.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: The controls of TLM are decent.  The controls of
the maze sections are unresponsive.  The game design is okay.
Liked: Nothing.
Hated: Maze controls.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Just start from scratch.

RIYL: Contra, Die Hard Trilogy.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: The Lawnmower Man is a decent game, but that's all.  I wouldn't
waste my money unless you are a huge fan of the movie.
