Take AVGN'S advice, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME, PERIOD.   RedHotToddy
If any of you guys know who the Angry Nintendo nerd Is, then chances are you guys have watched his review of the terrible NES game Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, a game based on the hit blockbuster movie. He warned us saying this game is so bad, it-wait, I have not watched the review in a while, so I forgot what he said, But He did say to stay away from this game as far as possible, but nobody listened, Not even me, So what is my opinion on this abomination? You will find out now.
Story-5/10
The story behind this game is that our hero Dr Jekyll is on his way to attend a wedding with his wife miss Millicent, And god knows why, But everybody and I say EVERYBODY is tring to stop him, dogs, cats, little midget dudes with slingshots, you name It. But If you are good, then maybe the wedding will go good after all! Oh yeah, when He gets too angry, He turns into the savage beast Mr Hyde. So that is it for the  story.
Gameplay-2/10
In this action adventure side scroller game, You will take the role of Dr Jekyll as you try to get to your wedding with wedding with Miss Millicent while avoiding a bunch of weird creepy and absurd enemies, which include kids shooting slingshot pellets at you, Cats, Dogs, townspeople that drop bombs that can explode and hit you from far away, etc.  In the top left hand corner of the screen, there are 2 gauges, A life meter, and one that shows how long until you turn into Mr Hyde, As you get hit, the life meter will start running out, And once It runs out all the way, You turn into Mr Hyde, at this state, You will be engaged into dark nighttime stages where you control the hideous beast Mr Hyde running to the right shooting enemies with His psycho wave, least this feels better then the normal Jekyll levels, were you get a lousy cane that doesn't do jack! Hey when you come to think of It, all this about Daytime stages and nighttime stages is making me think alot of Sonic unleashed here! But what the heck, Sonic unleashed is way better then this game....
Graphics-4/10
My word! What in the world am I supposed to be looking at? A horrible looking nightmare world? Because that is what this game looks like! I swear to god, there are way better looking movie games on the NES then this, Like batman, terminator, etc. But don't even tell that they didn't even try with this game, because they didn't! All the backgrounds and levels that you will be exploring are very dull and don't even have that much detail to them to be honest. As for the sprites, I can't even tell what they look like! Everything looks like the developers put a bunch of garbage on the screen on called It a day. I can't even say anything anymore, NEXT!
Sound-3/10
Ouchy, my ears! I know the developers of this game were trying to go for a rather scary and spooky soundtrack, But this is not the way to go at all! There are only about 1-3 songs in this whole game, Jekyll, Hyde, Death, and I think that Is about It. As for the sound effects, they are without a doubt aome of the most annoying sound effects I have EVER heard in a NES game! You get generic explosions, cat meows, well you get the point, generic everything!
Addictiveness-2/10
You should already know what I am going to say on this portion of the review, No, no, no, no and oh yeah, I think I forgot something, yes, NO! I would not play this game with a fox in a box, with a mouse in a house, with a goat on a boat, a cat in the hat, and yeah! I don't think the game should pe played more then once, you should all know why.
Depth-1/10
Absoultley no replay value period! You beat the game once,  You just put It away forever, Because there is nothing to It! The game isn't that long really, It's only like 4 levels and they are all very short and hard to get past, People like me do not want to play these kind of games more then once, Only a madman would do that!
Difficulty-9/10
Say it with me! The difficulty is the highest point of this game period! I remember once I could not get past the 3rd or so level because of those freaking bombs dropping all over the place. This game ain't no calkwalk, I 'm dead serious, You die one time, You're all the way back to the beginning!
Overall-2.0/10
Must I say more? No! You guys should already know not to buy this game! It is a waste of your time, life, money, and everything else. I can't imagine finishing all my homework on a Friday, then taking a visit to the game rental store and seeing only this laying on the shelves, Why not put another game there? But anyways, take the AVGN'S advice he gave us. I gave this game a 2.0 because How unplayable broken and tedious everything in this game is, Sorry, I can't recommend this game to anyone. Do not buy It.

the worst game on the nes   cosmic5
Ah dr.jekell and mr.hyde on the nes. What has been said about this game that hasn't already been said. well, ill give you my thoughts 
story:although it claims to be based off the novel, the only thing you will see in the game that is similar to the book is the title screen and that's it. I mean really you could slap any title to this game and NO ONE would even THINK that this is based off the novel.
gameplay:you play as Jekyll trying to get to your wedding while avoiding men with bombs,women in pink dresses,kids with slingshots and bird who attempt to poo on you, all while attempting not to turn into Hyde. As Hyde, you kill evil demon monster figures (and no, this NEVER happened in the book)and must kill as many as possible to turn back to Jekyll. If you go to the beginning of the level as Hyde,you die. And yes, this is the WHOLE thing! Bottom line: gameplay is extremely boring and repetitive.
graphics:now most people say the  graphics are the worst found on the system, but I disagree. Granted, there horrible, but not that bad.some of the buildings and trees are very detailed  and nice to look at, but the character are terrible. The developers didn't even put the time to give the characters faces! Talk about laziness.
overall:this is possibly one of the worst games vie played but the worst is superman 64 but anyway if you want to play a game based off horror movies/novels, play the castling games or heck, even monster party is better than this game and that game is terrible! So just avoid this game at all cost and if you see a copy destroy it in the worst way possible!

The most terrible game for the NES.   DannyMyers1978
This game is like the most impossible game ever to be played on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The whole gameplay was awful. When you start to play the game, there is like this man named Jekyll who just walked out of his house and then the game starts, when you start playing, you get like this sword that I think that stabs the enemies but no, the enemies just attack you extremely. When you start jumping, it didn't clearly avoid you to get rid of the enemies. Then there is like this gentleman that puts up a bomb that clearly just explode right in front of you. And when you clearly turn into Mr. Hyde, this fairy has a 1600's rifle that shoots bubbles right in front of you and plus you cannot attack the fairy but you can avoid the fairy. Right after you avoid the fairy, there is like this rock thingies that you can clearly attack and then after you attack a few of them. You just die and the game is over.
The graphics are really not that bad, it has some good effort on it, but the sound is just really terrible. Right after you die, there is like this sound that is like a weird wolf sound. Plus the music does not make any sense into the game. The addictiveness of this game is clearly boring that you do not want to play with it because how the gameplay is like so hard that you can even beat the whole game like several times in a row. The story is just really terrible, I am not much of a big fan of the novel and the movie but the game is like such horrible. The depth is like so describes the game to award it the worst game ever on the Nintendo Entertainment System and the game is so hard that you can only play like only for a full minute. Can you imagine a game that you can never know how to defend yourself really terribly and test yourself to play a game that you can take it for 1 minute. It is like so terrible that you are paying like $2,000.
If anyone describes this game, I say it's like really terrible to make a video game from a great movie made by Paramount Pictures that was kindy can be made into great plays as parodies that is based off a great novel. Paramount should rather just test this game for people to see if they like this based off their old movie that was based off a novel.

So annyoing   cplegogame25
Story:
The story is about Dr.Jekell make a potion in his lab which he then drinks and at night he turns in Mr. Hyde, but the real story is just Jekell trying to get to his wedding but everyone is trying to stop him.
- - -
Gameplay:
The gameplay is boring as Jekell, all you do is jump and hit stuff with your cane, it doesn't work. See using your cane hurts no one, if you trying stabbing someone with it, it does nothing, except for the bees they actually die from the cane. Jumping is used to just jump over then enemies which briongs up the enemies, everyone doesn't want you around, no reason why except for one guy with a slingshot who is in love with Jekell's fiance and doesn't want him to go to the wedding (it was in the manual). One enemy throws a bomb on the ground and there annoying to avoid, they have a blast radius so unfair it makes Din's fire from Super Smash Bros Brawl seem fair. If you get hit by the bomb you fly all the way to the left, even if you pass it you still will get hit. The other enemies aren't special like dogs they charge into you. The most annoying enemy is the spiders you go up and down on a tree but they go so fast it's immpossible not to get hit, see if they cane attack worked it woulden't be so bad. Now if you die as Jekell you will become Mr. Hyde and it actually turns into a game. Hyde has 2 attacks, punching witch works but sucks, and a fireball that moves in a 8 pattern and you use it by hitting up and B, or down and B, it's been awhile since i played. You fight brains with feet that hop around, flying heads and other unidentified enemies. Then a LIGHTING STRIKE HITS YOU! and you die. Now you might be saying what the heck just happened. Well i'm glad you asked, you went to far as Hyde, if you stay in the Hyde section for to long you will die game over, in order to not make this happen you need to kill a bunch of enemies to relieve your stress meter and go back with your daily boring walk where everyone is trying to kill you. Ugh Hyde is so much more fun to play as.
- - -
Graphics:
The graphics i guess look ok for the game, the animations look nice except for jumping witch looks like your squating to take a dump or something, and stabbing with you cane looks weird. The trees and backround look pretty smooth but one part of the graphics look so weird where a fountain shows a angel thing peeing... like really?
- - -
Sound/Music:
The music for the Jekell area is ok it's not a very good theme but i guess gets the job done. The Hyde theme is pretty bland in my opinion, it sounds like a generic scary haunted house theme. The title theme is the only good theme since i like the way it sounds. The soud effects sound like an atari game. stabbing sounds like a whoosh, and throwing a fire ball sounds worst than the Fire ball effect from the first Super Mario Bros, and the lighting effect is pretty dull, just a basic sword hitting effect, not kidding it sounds like that.
- - -
Final Verdict:
This game isn't good, i didn't think it was that bad like how the Angry Video Game Nerd put it, it was just so boring to play as Jekell, Hyde is a lot better to play as even though you die if you suck at it, the music was done by a 10 year old that started 8-bit music, and the controls they weren't that bad, they responded well and didn't screw me over. Just don't play the game though, it's no worth your time for.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: The Revenge   JOKER3852
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde... A game that is not very popular and for good reason. The game is well known for it's Internet review by none other than James Rolfe, a.k.a. The Angry Video Game Nerd. From the way he reviewed it with acting it out and putting on a show, it made some gamers interested in playing the game. That's what happened to me.
Story: The story is you're Jekyll, who is on his way to his wedding, and that's pretty much it. Not really anything huge, it's just Jekyll going to his wedding. There are towns people, a kid with a slingshot, bugs, birds drooping poop, dogs, cats, guys with bombs, and a peeing fountain.
Game-play: It's a side-scrolling game where you have to go from point A to point B. You have a Life Meter, if it runs out, you turn into Hyde. But first, let me talk about game-play as Jekyll. When you're Jekyll, the only weapon you have is his cane. The cane doesn't do anything and is a pretty useless accessory unless you want to kill bees with it. The enemies you face in the game as Jekyll are the enemies listed above in the story section. Of course, this is part of what makes the game so tough. Since you have no means of defense, you're almost constantly taking hits. The kid with the slingshot is actually in love with Jekyll's fiancée and is trying to stop the wedding by stopping Jekyll from getting there. Once you die as Jekyll, you turn into Hyde, and this is where it actually starts feeling like a game. When you're Hyde, you have a weapon that the game calls the Psycho Wave that moves in a random pattern that kind of destroys your enemies, which are skeletons, demons, and floating heads. Hyde is moving to left this time as Jekyll was moving to the right. When you're Hyde you have to relieve your Rage Meter in order to advance in the game and transform back into Jekyll. If you die as Hyde, the game is over. If you get struck by lightning, the game is over. The reason for the lightning strike is that you reached the same point in the game where you died as Jekyll. Pretty much the stage you're playing on as Hyde is reversed and you're going back. Best to relieve your Rage Meter and continue as Jekyll. It's not the worst game-play, but it doesn't really keep you interested long enough to reach the end of the game. It's very bland and the only time you have fun with it, is when you're Hyde, but the game doesn't want you to be Hyde. (Or is it called the Stress Meter?)
Graphics: There's nothing really special about the graphics in this game. It's your typical standard NES graphics, yet it seems... more blurry. But other than that, I do not have anything bad to say about the graphics.
Sound: If you listen to the sound, it's not a very good example of 8-bit music. The title music is an exact copy of the Guru's theme from Rygar. But it is somewhat nice to hear. When you get to the sound effects, they are really bad. Especially the sounds when you get hit or when there is something falling from the sky.
Difficulty: One thing that stands out about this game is it's really high difficulty. There is no option to adjust your difficulty level and you go in there wondering why you're not advancing. This is somewhat good for those that like a challenge, but for me personally, I like to have some options when playing a game. Also, the game may be challenging, but it's not addictive. It's not the type of game that makes you want to play more.
So in final conclusion, I give would give this game a 2/10. There are some good things, but they're barely noticeable and they're not enough to make this a good game.

Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde - Is it really that bad?   Zircron Swift
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde....Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...
It can't be that bad....can it? I'm here to play, beat (as insane as that is) and give this game a fair review. Lets start off with how I first found this game. Most of you might have never heard of this game, if it might not have been for the AVGN (Angry Video Gaming Nerd) giving a review on how terrible it is. The doing another one going as in depth to the flaws as he could. I saw this, and thought, how can it be so bad, to be honest, I couldn't think a game could be so terrible.
So I came here to play the game. When that music came on, I already imagined me doing those faces the Nerd does (but i can't get close to accurately doing them. But before we get to the game play, lets look at the packaging. Yeah, not bad looking. The text on it says that when your Mr. Hyde, you go into a world of demons, and you kill them with your "secret weapon" the phyco-wave. Sounds pretty cool. And I love how it says, and I quote "The classic tale of horror comes to vivid life in this fast-moving video game!" and "Follow Dr. Jekyll as he fights off enemies in hazardous 19th century London" you'll find out in a bit.
Right off the box, it looks like a good game, now lets play it. The title music sounds very Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, if I didn't know it was copied off another game (or vise versa). And maybe the hand is to do with this demon world we've been hearing. Well, lets go! You'll get a little animation of the Doc walking out of his home....wait, what? He then walks past the door, and exits his house though....the wall? Is a door not good enough? "Oh, I like using the wall to exit buildings" *crash!* That door might just lead to a lab or something.
The story goes like this. Dr. Jekyll is off to marry some bribe that I don't know the name of. And he decides to walk. And boy, does he walk slowly. I got the impression that this was a "fast-moving" game. Well, the next part I was warned about. The cane. The back of the box says "Follow Dr. Jekyll as he fights off enemies in hazardous 19th century London" hazardous: very. Fighting: none to be had! The cane is 99% useless. The only thing you can kill is a bee. And have you tried killing a bee with a cane using a thrust movement? The Doc should give himself a pat on the back. But what puzzles me is, when you kill a bee, it makes a sound like you gained health. But neither of your meters go up, nor do you get any coins.
So your walking slowly (at least not as slowly as the other men that walk there), with a cane that doesn't work. What a disappointment. The hazards are almost unavoidable. There are men that randomly run at you, and knock you over, there's this kid who has a crush on your fiance, and will give you some hell (and also for some very odd reason, he would run to the left, and the appear on the right of the screen...great logic guys -.-), but not as much hell as these bomb guys will give you. What is he? And why does he have bombs? Why do they only affect the Doc, and not buildings or cat or dogs or anything else?!? I think i have a reason. In this Dr. Jekyll world, everyone and everything is bomb-proof, except the Doc. He's got some weird disease that makes him somehow die to these bombs. But then why does this purple fellow run after placing the bomb? Oh well, I'll have to scratch that one. *screws up paper and throws in the bin*
Why are these guys given bombs anyway? Aren't people annoyed about constant explosions?
Man: HEY! Stop setting off those bombs, will you?
Bomberman: I'm doing it to irritate Dr. Jekyll.
Man: In that case I don't mind.
You have two meters. The top one is your life meter, if this drops to zero, you die. The second one is your stress meter, if this drops to zero, you'll turn to Mr. Hyde and finally get into this "world of demons" that we were promised. Don't get too exited. It's not all it's cracked up to be. So your Mr. Hyde. You can move about five times faster that the Doc, and you can punch, which does work. Although if you want things does a little better, use that secret weapon. Use the Physco-Wave! Use it by pressing up and B. It goes in a figure of 8 movement, so it can be hard at first to hit things. As you kill things, your stress meter goes up. And monsters drop coins you can pick up (weather touching or using the Physci-Wave). When your stress meter gets full, you'll faint and become Dr. Jeykll again, with restored health.
However, for the first part, you might have died so fast as the Doc, you'll be hit by lightning when your Mr. Hyde. When you get to the point where the Doc died, you'll die as well. Most people quit this game because of that reason. So get further with the doc means longer play times as Mr. Hyde, although your stress meter will be full by then, and you'll have to play as the Doc :(. Why does everyone hate Jekyll anyway? What have they got against him? Maybe he only wanted to be loved, and as everyone hates him so, he wanted to get married. Which is what he's doing in this game. I sure hope she doesn't want a divorce, that would just break him...
The graphics are ok, but they are horribly repetitive, and you'll think most of the time that your going in circles. The music is ok as well, but again it's horribly repetitive, and it would be better if there was some different music (only 3 pieces of music, one for the Doc, one for Mr. Hyde, and one for the ending).
Coins, what are coins in this game, some scoring system? No. Coins are used to make that singing lady stop singing! If you have enough, you can give them to her, and she'll shut up. The only way to get coins is through the Mr. Hyde stages. A little cheap, I think. And you have to touch her to give her the coins. But you'll probably become Mr. Hyde before you can get close enough, in which after you get your stress meter up again, she'll disappear.
Now I'm playing this game and I got some game overs. I think the cane not working is a bug, a huge, massive bug that made the downfall of this game. All these things are adding up to a subtract, making it a worse and worse game as I play it....but....something is wrong here. The game is so hateful. All you need to hate it is one minute, and you'll start calling it the worst game created. The nerd said that nothing that is said, nor will ever be said, will be good enough to describe how terrible this game is. But for some reason, this game has some charm. What am I trying to say? I think I like this game. There, I said it -.-
The controls are combined with the difficulty of the game to make it nearly unplayable, but just about playable for you to want to continue playing it. In fact, I like it. Not a lot, it won't be replacing Megaman 2 or Castlevania anytime soon. But I would say this game is not that bad. Not good, but not "truly crappy" either, just not as bad as the Nerd says. And I think that's the best honest opinon it's ever going to get. Take it from me. If you want a challenge, play this game. If you want to see someone vent their anger on a game, let them play this, the amusement level could be high. If your willing to play this game for more than 5 minutes, then maybe you can see the dirty charm this game has.
Oh, and the game is beatable. I made a screen shot for you to see.
All in all, I would give this game a generous 6/10. It's ugly, but has inner beauty. Don't judge a Jekyll by its Hyde.

Everything Hates Jekyll   endings
Its been called The walking simulator. Its been called the worst game on the NES. Definitely never been called the best game. Jekyll and Hyde is a memeworthy slog that dares you to cheat code your way through it, and then punishes you for doing so.
The game is based off the book, about a good man, Jekyll, who wanted to know what it would be like to be bad, and made a potion. It turns him into Hyde, the mirror reverse of his normal self - a nasty, fighty, ugly dude. The game takes this concept and has Jekyll as a Bruce Banner type- if he gets angry, he turns into Hyde. Playing as Jekyll is boring, all he does is walk very slowly through a VIctorian age town, towards the right side of the screen, while avoiding every single mundane thing he runs into.
Playing as Hyde is pretty cool, he fights in a Halloween cityscape. He fights brains with legs, flying imps, all sorts of weird things! He also has a special move called the 'Psycho Wave' that you can abuse that is basically a crazy projectile with an odd arc. He travels from right to left, mirror reverse, remember? Here's the problem.
The game punishes you for being Hyde. LOL. Not by making his stuff harder, its Jekyll who can't even walk across a street without a mob forming to kill him - no Hyde can fight, so his stuff is easy, but if you get further as Hyde than you do as Jekyll, its game over. You get hit by lightning as Hyde and thats it. The game doesn't tell you why... but thats why. Each of them is basically in a race, and Jekyll has to be in the lead or else.
The meters mean different things for each char. As Jekyll, you have a rate meter , and above it, a life meter. If you lose all your life, its also game over. And as Hyde, you want to kill the monsters with your punches and wave attack to decrease your anger, and return to the good scientist. You also get coins as Hyde, which is unusual, since there is no shop in the game.
EVERYONE HATES JEKYLL.
Seriously. Hyde is fighting for his life in a nightmare world, and Jekyll is walking to church. The guy cannot catch a single break. Let me make a short list of things that make Jekyll angry or hurt him.
-dogs and cats
-a kid with a slingshot
-spiders that block your path (seriously)
-a mad bomber that shows up every 20 seconds
-bird poop
-dead birds falling from the sky??
-a lady singing (the only use for Hyde's coins, they shut her up)
-dirt
-bees (the only thing you can attack with Jekylls cane button!!!)
-barrels, just random barrels rolling like Donkey Kong
-any pedestrian who decides to run, they want to tackle you.
-a fountain (seriously Jekyll?)
All of these things will irritate him (and you) and knock Jekyll backwards left. And Dr. Jekyll is a champ at falling backwards and impeding your progress. In several maddening situations, you will be stuck in a loop as you are barred by a spider moving on a web, which might a well be a door opening and closing. While you are waiting for the spider to go up (you cant attack it) the mad bomber shows up. He drops a bomb and it makes all the townspeople run. If they touch you, they knock you back. If the spider touches you, it knocks you back. If the bomb touches you, you're pretty much Hyde angry/or dead. The barrels section towards the end is even worse! They roll at different speeds, and the bomber is still coming, and its just the biggest test of patience. All this violence, and no police! What's going on??
Graphics: 3
The graphics are not bad, and for the most part, everything looks pretty good, The background is detailed and not generic looking - although it is sad two of the stages, a cemetary and a park , are repeated with new enemies. The pedestrians are fine, but there is not many types, four types of normal people who might leave you alone, and the evil pink suited bomber who will make your gaming a grueling process. As Hyde, the graphics look a little worse, maybe because you aren't quite sure what youre fighting, Hyde looks like a Total Recall (NES) reject, wearing a lime jumpsuit lol.
Sound: 2
There is only a few tracks, and a lot of annoying sound effects. The bomb and bird poop, and singing lady will be your symphony as you play this game.
Addictive: 1
This is one of the most unfun games ever. It sucks, SUCKS to be Jekyll. Even if you just wanna walk, he is so slow and his jump is floaty AND slow. He can't pick up anything, he can only use his cane, which does nothing unless a bee, an uncommon enemy, is in perfect position to get hit. (you can hit the singing lady, which is pretty funny, but it turns you into hyde)
Story: 5
The story of Jekyll trying to get married by walking to church (getting cardio?) and not paying for a carriage just makes him look cheap. I really want to know the story about where Hyde is, or why all the townspeople hate him. Takes a special kind of person to get a bird to poop only on you, Doc.
Depth: 5
Now there are multiple endings. Just for surviving the game, the basic ending trolls you and gives you a static image. If you can get to the last level (6) and get Hyde there, there is a secret path on top of the houses that has a boss fight, and removes every single foe from Jekyll's path for the final leg of the game! This ending is much more fitting with the source material.
Difficulty: 10
There are 4 out of the 6 levels that are very annoying, and will make you turn this off. J&H is boring and you can't fight off a spider as the Doctor. You slowly plod, and get knocked all the way back to the beginning of the screen, and everything hates you. You have no friends. The enemies repeat constantly, severely blocking progress. Thanks to poor game design, there are a couple of glitches with the enemies. In the park stages, the mad pink bomber man appears at the bottom of the screen, where his bombs can't hurt you- but still aggravate any animals or people nearby. The singing lady, who is very very annoying on first encounter, seems to be devoid of her attacks on subsequent visitations.
This is a cruel game, and you play this only to punish yourself. Its not fun being Jekyll, ever. And the fun Hyde part is something that often gives you game over. The best part is you can't cheese this game to get the good ending, because invincibility prevents you from turning into Hyde, which you need to get the good ending. Do yourself a favor, just play something else.

Dr Jekyyl and Mr Hyde   angryvideogamen..
I can describe this in a way as bad as it can be or as good as it can be. The bad part is at first you don't know what to do or what is happening or even while you die. Well the object is simple, get past levels until the game is over, however, people bump into you causing your stress meter to increase. Once it completely increases you become Hyde, while you are Hyde you have to kill enough stuff for you to become Dr Jekyll again. The coins may be points, I'm not sure what the coins are when you are Hyde but really the most annoying part of the game is that they give you something that doesn't work. For example the cane that Dr Jekyll has can only kill a bee, wouldn't you rather have it get those other guys away??? I mean, the weapon is useless, that would be like playing golden eye for the n-64 and your gun doesn't work, what a tease.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde   Totts
This truly is a poor poor poor poor poor poor poor game that truly is possibly one of the worst ever invented. Please ask the angry nintendo video game nerd who appears on cinemasacre courtesy of cracked.com and spike as he has some pretty strong opinions on it too. He feels that it all copies should be found and then burned, "I mean what were they thinking"?
This game is totally unplayable as far as I am ultimately in my consideration and opinion concerned.
So my final word is check it out!
you will be disapointed
but satisfied that you truly have played a legend and perhaps the quickest ending game in history.
I cannot even figure out why I died?
or how I can stop it happening again?
learning curve?
there is not learning curve!

What the hell is wrong with this game!!?   murut87
Yeah,this game is based on Dr. Jeckyll and Mr Hyde but the problem is,it fails.
Why,because this game is Unplayable.
I really wanna know why everyone attacked Dr.Jeckyll for no apparent reason,seriously whats wrong with him,did he create a madness to everyone?
The major flaw on this game is from what i said before,also the bomb.....just freaking annoying,rarely i got attacked and almost half of my life gone,but mostly...it drains almost all of my health meter and all stress meter!
After the stress meter gone,you will become Hyde,and its Reverse Side-Scrolling,but its different game,beating random enemies,freaky one,kill the enemies may replenish the stress meter,but good luck beating that monster because you will die,a lot.
The one thing that i don`t understand is suddenly Lightning strikes the Hyde and thats it game over...
According to AVGN video,the lightning strikes are depends of how long you gotten so far using Dr.Jeckyll.
Its like a piece of crap.
Well talk about story,it did follows up the books but not really :P
Dr.Jeckyll leaves to the laboratory and he prepares to go his Ceremony for his Wife Wedding.
But what the hell happen to other people in city? They hate Dr.Jeckyll so much???
But well...this game,not worth to be played,,if you have finish the game,you will be regret,its like Brutal fight,but archives nothing.
Graphics : 2
Kinda bad,also a "s***" in a Nintendo is here.
Sound : 1
There`s nothing memoriable for the sound effects and Music,and the main theme looks exactly same as other games.
Story : 1
I love to hear the story,but not without the freak attacking you.
Gameplay : 1
A Combination of slowpoke,Horrendous Gameplay,Difficult game,makes the game looks bad.
Depth : 1
Its just moving....and moving....and moving.....then finally end to the ceremony.Thats all.
Difficulty : 10
DON`T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT!
Overall : 1
This game should be left out for good.Its not fun too play,and its frustrating to play this game.

What the f*udge...   kdoggbb
Okay I'm just gonna get this out of the way before I start the review...THIS GAME SUCKS...REALLY BADDLY...
Graphics: Well...To be fair, the graphics look pretty nice for a NES game. The sprites look decent and you can tell what's going on most of the time... so yeah... thumbs up :P
Sound: The sounds and music SUCK even for an NES game!, It sounds like something you would hear if you were on a Atari 2600!, And the constantly looping music would make your ears VOMIT!.
Addictiveness: Nothing to say here. 
Story: The story is that your Jekyll trying to get to his wedding while dodging all of the angry towns folk... AND THATS IT!.
Depth: Depth?, What depth?.
Difficulty: My god is this game HARD!. LITTERALLY EVERYTHING WILL TRY TO KILL YOU, towns people will charge at you for some unknown reason, Dogs and cats will constantly harass you, and the bombs...OH THE BOMBS ARE THE MOST annoying things in the whole GAME, When you get hit by them, you fly backwards, and the range of the bombs are just AGGERVATING, like you could be standing a mile away and the bombs will still hit you!.

 its amazing. if not for the preaching of someone saying how horrible it is we would'nt be here today
grinder665 12-30-14 - 08:21 AM
 To Quote a famous cartoon character from the 90's: "No sir. I don't like it". I played this game for just a few minutes, and in that short time it already started to get on my nerves. It's just so annoying.

 Oh, Vizzed. Thou hast fallen to the AVGN curse as well.

 I saw this game today at angry video game nerd, omg he was right. This game is not terrible, IT'S HORRIBLE.
superluigi1 10-08-14 - 11:53 PM
 This is one of the worst games i have played!
chappy1997 05-23-14 - 10:42 PM
 This game should've been called "Sunday-walk Simulator." Seriously! That's literally what I feel like I'm doing in this game! Well, until you go into the Mr. Hyde phase, of course.

 This game is not great, but it is not terrible.
QuigMaster1 02-03-14 - 04:52 PM
 Yeah Angry Video Game Nerd was right. I got to level two on my first try. It is not so hard until you are Mr. Hyde, then it becomes tough. Dr. Jekyll is not the smartest doctor.
computernorman12 01-03-14 - 02:12 PM
 the angry video game nerd was 100% right this game sucks!
gamemaster759 11-18-13 - 09:20 PM
 avgn was right about this game it sucks
Sidewinder 11-06-13 - 06:25 PM
 I was actually hoping this was going to be a good game, because Jekyll and Hyde wasn't so bad, but lots of peeps saying it's a horrible game. Dang lol.
Jordanv78 11-04-13 - 02:52 AM
 This is easily one of the worst games ever created. I mean it's shockingly bad. Worse than Back to the Future for NES, worse than Action 52. Just bad.
RjGunner111 06-24-13 - 09:59 PM
 worst game ever

 Man, this game is hard. D: I wonder if there's a second level because I can't get anywhere off the first lol
ls95 02-24-13 - 08:52 PM
 Keep the game on the site, David! I need it to learn from the book more than I can because I already gave it to the library....but in all seriousness, reading the book actually makes this games and why you die make sense. so all of you, go read the book.
nedflanders34 01-09-13 - 08:26 PM
 never playing it again

 Years ago, Gamestop offered me one penny to trade in this game. Needless to say, I was one cent richer that day.
