Herc's Adventures

"Funnest game ever!"

When I first played this game at my friends house I fell in love with it. the game is just fun to play and has three playable characters to choose from. you can be Herc, Jason or the girl (i think her name is Atlanta).

Graphics-
The graphics are 2D and are really good. they are crisp and clear and all the characters are finally detailed. the movies are also 2D but it is quite good with scenes in which gods eg. zeus, hades jump out and give you a small talk.
7/10

Sound-
The sound is quite good with nice tunes when you are in the towns and scary music when your walking around outside. the fighting sounds might get a little bit annoying but most people wont even realize them. I dont really care about the sound or the graphics of a game I just care about the gameplay.
6/10

Gameplay-
this game is the most funnest game to play ever. when I plaed it single player I finished 10+ times in 2 weeks because it was so much fun. then I played and finished it another 10+ time with my friend on two player. the good fun about this game is that you can finish it in one sitting eg 3,4,5, hours. in the game you mostly go around towns and smashing up skeletons. you can collect gold coins to buy weopans and items. you can also find weapons and herc can lift up houses to find items and in some cases, enemies.
9/10

Lifespan-
this game is really short but it is so fun you could play it millions of times without getting bored of it. it is more recommended to rent it but if you rent it and you really like it you should go out and buy it.
6/10

Difficulty-
this game is very easy but some of the puzzles might take a few minutes to work out if you are playing for the first time. this game is very easy and anybody could finish it in a snap.
3/10 (really, really easy)

with all that said, this game is a very worthy addition to anybodys playstation collection and should be very good fun. if you are the type of person who finishes a game and just leaves it on the shelf for ever after, then this game should be rented as it is a very shory, but satisfying experience. this game is very hard to find, so if you do find it somewhere (electronics boutique is a good place) then you should buy it straight away. the game is also very cheap to buy. I saw it in electronics boutique (australia) for $18 australia dollars.
