Adventures of Tom Sawyer

The Good
There was very, very, very little to like about this game. Ummm... controls were decent and... that's about it.

The Bad
Oh-ho, where to begin. For starters, the gameplay is bland. Jump over a barrel, avoid a seagull, jump, avoid, and so on. What doesn't help the game at all is the fact that you die in one hit. This game isn't exactly easy. So, you can see where this would lead to some problems.

The graphics are garbage. Even for NES. No, I shouldn't say that. I've seen some fairly beautiful graphics on the NES. These graphics are just... bad. That's all there is to say.

The story is...well...it's...Tom Sawyer...sleeping and dreaming...in class...yeah...that's about as good a plot as FAN FICTION! Hell, this game's story makes Lucky Star's plots look like it has a point and means something. Which it DOESN'T...sorry.

The music is completely forgetable. I don't even remember it. Oh well. I'm sure it sucked like the rest of this game anyway, so who cares.

This is just a minor nitpick, but the game over screen is by far the worst game over screen in video game history. If you lose, he...wakes up. No, he doesn't get killed by Freddy Kruger. He just...wakes up. Wow.

The Bottom Line
Don't play this game at all. Not even for free. It's not worth your time or energy. Go play Kingdom Hearts II or Sonic Adventure 2: Battle or any good video game. Just don't, I beg of you, let the creators of this horrid monster of cartridge-based media get the satisfaction of ruining your fun! PLEASE!
