This review is going to be short.

gameplay 0/10
Okay so you have to be an ugly green thing going around and collecting phone pieces easy right? well there are these pits and if you get anywhere near them you fall and they are everywhere! and getting out of them is like pulling a rabbit and a donkey out of your @#$.

Graphics 2/10
what do you expect its just a bunch of green and black boxes but people didnt care back then

sound 1/10
its just a bunch of bleeps and bloops

overall: negative 1/10
well this game was so bad that so many people had to return it so the developers would bury all 50,000,000 copies in the desert. this not only ruined the atari 2600 and the ET movie which was a classic masterpiece but it ruined peoples lives! STAY AWAY AND LET ET FIND HIS OWN FREAKIN WAY HOME!!!!!!!!!!
