Damn Hollywood destroying my childhood when they made this crappy movie. And now we get a game based ON the movie, nice!

You know a game sucks when you don't even want to keep it when it's for free..

At least now everyone knows why there was next to no info on this game anywhere on the net. I'm still stuck on level 1-3. How the hell do I beat the bosses? How hard would it have been to make the enemies flash when you hit them? Every other game like this does it. What were they thinking?

Someone wrote a review on GameFAQs that sums up this game pretty well. I didn't want to believe it, but the dude was right, the game ain't so good. And here I was thinking that people didn't like it because of the old-school gameplay....nope, that wasn't it.

Sometimes I think the people who develop some of these games aren't even gamers.

You probably know how to defeat the 1-3 Boss by now.
If not (and still care), keep on punching the one that shoots the large laser (right side). Avoid the other forms.
I guess the other forms meant it's far away to hit.

No, you know a video game sucks when they put, "The Video Game", in the title.

Yeah, pity. They should just have released a DS version of the GBA one.

Pretty sure that Sega would have been pissed if that happened seeing that they own the game and all.

Instead of being pissed, Sega could just sell it. They could rerelease or make "special editions" of the best GBA games for the DS. Like they do with PS2->PS3 (e.g. God Of War). Hmm I like that idea. But I guess the GBA slot is still too wide spread for that to work. Including in my home. I could just play the original GBA cartridges. Uh yeah...

The game sucks, period. I thought it would be a good game, but it sucked. The graphics are horrible and it's like it has no storyline to it.
