Disney's Hercules (E) ISO
Description :
Disney's Hercules Action Game is a 2D Platformer game, developed by
Eurocom Entertainment Software and published by Virgin Interactive,
which was released in 1997.
It has been quite a trend for movie makers to convert their movies into
games. Hercules by Disney is one of the movie conversions.
Unfortunately, many of those converted sucked, such as Predator, Alien
Trilogy, and Die Hard Trilogy. In Hercules however, the good things
triumps over the evil side.
Graphics
Hercules as a semi 2-D game used the technology available to its furthest potential. As you progress in the game, the background especially represents what the level it's about. A good example is when Hercules has to fight Cyclops. The rampage created by the Cyclops was animated finely, with the people fleeing, goats running, boulders falling, roads cracking open etc. The graphics really puts you inside the game. In between levels, some bit of animation from the movie itself were used. This puts you even further into the game. Other than those states, everything else was animated finely and smoothly.
Sound
Hermes' voice accompanies you in your quest, announcing powerups or letters you collect. Aside from that, ambient sound is present, an example is when you are in the city where you can hear people doing their jobs, a jinx running after struck by lightning (its hilarious), an opera singer with a rain cloud above her head and much more. The BGM might appear to be kiddy like, but that won't lower your pride.:) Instead, the BGM fits perfectly to the level's theme.
Controls
Everyting you need to know about the controls are too easy. Thus, playing the game was also made easier without awkward controller configuration. You can slash, jump, climb up to walls, charge a super punch and stomp Hercules' feet to crack open a few fragile lands just to name a few. Only one thing which concerns Hercules stomping his feet, that is a strange timing is required to perform this task. To many, this problem will frustrate them greatly as lots of powerups and treasures are underground. Not to worry too much though, only this part requires some learning.
Difficulty
Even on hard mode, the game is still too easy to be beaten. I think its because Disney targeted children as the main group, so they must have reduced the game's difficulty greatly. This matter is disappointing, as the replay value was significantly decreased as the difficulty decrease with it. So, maybe in a few times, some people would want something else as a change to a more challenging game. Basically, the challenge offered is low. What a waste to a great game.
Gameplay
Gameplay is extensive but restricted in a single path, which is to follow the movie's storyline. Levels are manny, and each of them are quite long. Apart from that, there are many hilarious sight to be witnessed at. You'll be greatly entertained. One last thing, this game isn't just for kids. Everybody can go for it, just don't be ashamed.
Definitely, buy this one if you aren't having enough from the movie. To those sceptical about movie to game conversions, this one might change your ideology and perspective on it.
