Joe & Mac

"You will like this game."

Joe and Mac, now this game is great. This game somehow ended up in my hands when I was at a store that sold all sorts of games. Now I didn't know what to expect but it looked kind of cool, so I bought it, and I am so glad I did because this game is great. Let me tell you what I mean.

Gameplay 9/10- This game is really fun to play, your two cave men trying to rescue some pretty cave girls. You get to fight big bosses and roam through big levels with big time fun. Now that sounds fun!

Difficulty 8/10- This game is hard, believe it or not. I found my self stuck on many levels and bosses, I mean I thought this was going to be a breeze just have some real quick fun and easy fun, but I was wrong, I was having so much fun yet this game offers a lot of challenge, Why? Well most of the bosses have lots of health, and not only are the bosses coming after you, but random enemies are too. So you are fighting bosses while fighting off others. The levels are pretty long and have lots of enemies to club, a challenging game awaits you.

Control 9/10- It is easy like most simple platformers, you run, jump, and club your enemies. Although some times you get mixed up, the controls are easy and you should get the hang of it in no time.

Story 8/10- While the story is not complex, it is a bit funny. Some bad cavemen have stolen all the cave girls; it is up to Joe and Mac to bring the lovely cave girls back to the village. Sure, it’s simple, but it is still cool and enjoyable.

Graphics 8/10- The games graphics are really good, and the Super Nintendo handles them well. The levels are nicely done. The back grounds have nice big trees, hills, mountains and they all look nice. Not to mention the bosses look great too. They are big and detailed. I was truly amazed when I saw this games graphics.

Sound 8/10- The games sound is great, I will start off by telling you the music fits perfectly. The happy-go-lucky up beat music for nice tropical islands is cool, and then the deep dark music for end of the game caves and levels, then the scary music for your bosses. I really enjoyed the music to this game. Now for the sound effects, they were also done nicely, the jumping and the roars of dinosaurs and others was pretty cool. Everything fit nicely, this was no “throw together”

Replayability 10/10- This game is not long, but it is not extremely short, this game will provide you with lots of fun, and you will defiantly want to play this through multiple times. This is a very addicting game. If you want to blow off sometime you will just simply put this game in for an hour or two and let time fly. This game is so fun and deserves a 10/10 for replay because you will play it more then once trust me.

PROS:
Very fun
Good Graphics
Challenging
Cool Music

CONS:
Not long enough

To buy or to rent: Buy this game now. I like it almost as much as Super Mario, while it is no Donkey Kong, It is still worth the purchase, You will have lots of fun with this game, and even some good laughs, like I said, Get this game now and have your self some fun.
