An old-fashioned, yet immensely fun, platform game.
The main levels of the game are set in various locations, including the city of Thebes and the underworld. There are few fun boss fights, including one with Medusa and another with the hydra. Along the way you can pick up coins, extra lives and a few other collectibles, which gives you a bit of motivation to replay the levels again and again to find those extra bit and pieces.
The Hercules Action Game was released quite a while ago now, so the graphics are bound to seem a bit dated. However, they don't look that bad at all- they are in the cartoon style of the movie, and are actually one of my favourite things about the game. The music is also pretty good, taking tracks from the film.
Overall, the game is pretty easy to complete, although it does feature a few different difficulty settings. But it is still great fun, and being an old release is available pretty cheaply- worth picking up if it's in the bargain bin. Particularly good for kids.
