The Addams Family

"A normal boring game for the wheelchair-machine that still is one of the best."

My review to Addam's family to nes-system. The game is made 1991 by Ocean. It is always hard to tell if a game is bad or not, but some of them you can tell at once. This game needs some explination, so I set up grafic, music, control of hero, and challenge and last overall score. Personally, I'm not an addam's family fan (I barely don't know what it is) but I got the game anyway. And that's why I will do a review to the game. Of course, everything below is just compared with other NES-games. If I compare it with other games to other consoles, it will be some text about it. Of course, it would be all different scores if I compared with other games to other consoles, but that's how it is. (Just look at Soul Calibur to Dreamcast, what a game! If I would compare that grafic with this ones, grafic would be down to 0. But I just compare to one console.)

Grafic: Grafic is at medium at NES. You can see what happens, how enemies moving, and you can play the game without getting any trouble with the grafic. Grafic is at in the most Nes-games, so nothing spectacular. Yeah, it's like in most Nes-games, no special effects, nothing.

Score grafic: 7,0/10 (Compared to other games to other consoles, 2.8/10)

Music/Sound: Well, here's nothing special either. Just normal, as it usually is. Yeah, at medium. No cool sounds, no great music, nothing special but as it is ok. Music and sound is not too good, but it is ok.

Score Music/Sound: 6.5/10 (Compared with other games to other consoles, 6.1/10)

Challenge: Well, no it starts to get funky! The challenge in this crazy game is unbelievable hard. In the beginning, it's quite easy, but after a while it is hard. Try to beat it by yourself, and you will recognize it. Be prepared with patience, fast fingers, and a long time in front of you if you'll try to clear it. The game is hard to clear.

Score challenge: 9.2/10 (Compared to other games to other consoles, 9.7/10. No hard games are made today.)

Control: Control is ok, but nothing more. You can still move, and feel free to move wherever you want, but nothing more. Sometimes it can be hard to move in desperate situations, so be careful! Control is as the most Nes-games.

Score control: 6.8/10 (Compared to other games to other consoles, 4.6/10)

Funniness: The game is not funny, except from some funny sequences. The game is just ”funny” because it's so hard to clear. You know, it's nicer when you beat a game that is hard, than easy. That's what makes it a little more fun, but otherwise it's not funny.

Score fun: 6.2/10 (Compared to other games to other consoles, 5.2/10)

Overall: This game is just a game desperate made, trying to get some fans of the addam's family buy this game. All stuff is just as normal, nothing bad, nothing good. So what more can I say? Yeah, if you just want a game to play, and don't really care if it is good or bad, then maybe look for this one. I guess it would be quite cheap. But there are absolutely better games than this one out there.

Overall score: 5.6/10 (Compared to other games to other consoles, 5.3/10)

Total score(Score on a line between 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10: 5/10

Last wicked line: Just a game full of nothing.
