"What a great game!"

Introduction- You are embarking on an adventure in a Comic Book. This game is pretty good. One of the best games of its time. Now on to the review.

Story-Sketch Turner, an artist, loves making comic books. Then one stormy night one of his creations sends him in his own com,ic book. Sketch meets an ally, Allisa, which will help you out most of the times. Your rat named Roadkill will tag along with you.

Gameplay-You play Sketch Turner through out the game. You have a couple of moves. You need to fight your own creations throughout the game. You start off with three items, a knife, a drink, and dynamite. There will be more items for you to use. the enemies have different techniques to take you down. Your health meter is green when it is full, yellow when it is medium, and red when it is low. There are bosses also, that can't be beaten just by beating them up. There are many panels. Once you beat a panel you might have a choice between two or more panels to go to. The storyline doesn't change on what panel you choose. You end up at the place you need to get to no matter which one you pick.

Graphics/Sound-The graphics for this games are great for a Genesis game. It looks like a real comic book. The background looks great. There are word bubles with text in them, like SMACK!, and they also show what the enemies and Sketch are saying.. This game has background music playing throughout the game. You can also hear sounds from the characters. Sketch might create a certain sound sometimes. The rat, Roadkill, sounds like a cat to me. When you fall to the floor you hear a crash. The sound is good overall.

Control- The controls in this game are good. They are very easy to learn, since there aren't many buttons on the controller. I can't remember the controls right now. You can punch and kick, select item, use item, and jump. You can go from panel to panel by walking up to the arrow.

Play Time- You might be playing this game for a while. It might take a while for you to beat it also. You have many things to do. You might try to beat your high score, use cheats, take different routes, and trying to beat the game faster than before. I've been playing this game for a while so you might also play it for a while. The time it takes to beat this game depends on how skilled you are and how much you practice.

Buy or rent? I would buy it. I'm pretty sure it will be hard to find it and rent it. This game will be very cheap, so it won't be a total waste of money. If you don't have a Genesis, the Genesis is pretty cheap also, so you can try to find one.

Overall- This game is pretty good and will kep you playing for a long time. Good graphics, sound, gameplay, story, what more do you need?
