The Final Word game review

Marsupilami -- Sega

R.I.P.
Ick! Yuck! Pffft! I've always despised the cartoon Marsupilami, and this game has done nothing to win me over to the character. This game boiled down to a cookie cutter title at it's blandest. If I didn't know any better (and I don't), I'd swear that the programmers must have reached their hand into a bag of random game elements and then threw the results together into a slop of code on the Genesis. The worst thing is that just by theme, this game is targeted at kids, and so far every kid I've seen play this game can't figure out what their supposed to do short of having an adult read the manual... guess what, how many five year olds do you know who sit down and read the instruction manual of a game before playing... if ever! Then that's no guarantee that either the kid or the parent will be able to progress through the game. Argg.... Is there anything redeeming about this game? ... nope...
