Well, today I've decided to play Action 52. Some people say that this is the worst game of all time. Is it the worst?
Now I've seen the AVGN review (I'm also a big AVGN fan, but back to the review.) and we're going to see if it is the worst NES game.
The company for this game, Active Enterprises, recommended the retail price is $199.99. This game was $200 dollars in 1990, adjusted for inflation, today it would be $350, as of 2015. 350? This game isn't even worth 50 cents! Anyway, enough ranting, here's Action 52.
Graphics, 3: Some games look good, some games look, well, bad. Some games have recycled sprites and textures from the other games (if you can even call them games). The recycled textures are fine, but the recycled sprites aren't. Some sprites are WAY too small, you can barely see them sometimes. The intro is Lights, Camera, Action 52! The graphics are very low standard for an NES game.
Sound, 3: The sounds aren't that great, the sound effects are mostly beeps, and the music is 99% beeps as well, the only good song being the Cheetahmen theme (We'll talk about Cheetahmen later.). The song "It Takes Two" is also in the intro. Talk about stealing.
Addictiveness, 1: This game isn't addictive at all. I could barely get to the 10th game, but I managed to play all 52 games. I couldn't play this game for any longer than 15 minutes. Not that much to say about it. It's just not fun.
Story, 2: There's only one story, which is in the 52nd game, Cheetahmen. The Action Game master (The worst name ever.) was at home playing his video game, when suddenly... an arm popped out of his TV, and sucked him in to the game world! He looked up, and saw the Cheetahmen! That's the story for Cheetahmen, It's very crazy, and very simple.
Depth, 3: There's 52 games, 2 of them don't work (Alfredo and Jigsaw), and most of them are broken, or don't end. All the focus went in to the 52nd game, Cheetahmen. The manual even says there were Cheetahmen Action Figures coming, but that never even happened. Action 52 doesn't have that much depth. I could talk about all 52 games individuality, but it would be way too long.
Difficulty, 5 : This game can be really hard, but it can also be very easy. In some games you can spam B, and win. Other games like Ooze, have awkward controls, and can be very hard.
OVERALL: 3. I wish I could say more, but I really can't. Action 52 speaks for itself. In a bad way. I only mentioned The Cheetahmen 7 times, well, 8 now. So, the question was, Is Action 52 the worst game of all time, no. Worst NES game? Yes, maybe. Well, today I've decided to play Action 52. Some people say that this is the worst game of all time.
