Story: 7 Our hero is Sketch, a comic book designer. The bad: Some of the platforming does not work well. The good: The flashy graphics did keep me going to see where we would go next. Our mutant army could have had some more soldiers in it, they seemed to have a morale problem. I did like the story and wanted to play it through to the end. There are some secrets, though rare, and they were fun to find. Addictiveness: 7 The premise is handled well here, and it was fun to play as Sketch and get out of the comic. The good: My favorite was the voice samples. Powerful hits will smack hard against foes and a finishing hit will knock them back with a well recorded BOOM. The sound effects got a bit annoying after awhile too. There is not a lot of different tunes either. Sound: 5 The music I didn't quite care for. I just wanted to play as someone who looked cooler. The good: The detailed backgrounds, the comic text and sound effects being visualized! The bad: Our hero, Sketch, reeks of 90's and was my least favorite look. Everyone is roughly your size or smaller. And there is no imposing enemies either - with much of the background setting the action and scale in panels, none of the enemies look very impressive. Our hero can upgrade and become a muscular super hero while in the stage - but these are used as often as they should be in a game about a comic book superhero. The game uses classic comic work balloons and sound effects, and it helps immerse you. This is a comic book, and the enemies and environments look right at home in them. I really enjoyed the scenes where you interact with the edges of the panel, grabbing it like a ledge and flipping down to the next, or using explosives to blast a passage into the next area. Your hero has a ponytail (hipster!) that moves with him. The backgrounds are detailed, the foes are defined and unique. Genesis graphics look awesome when this game out. This was one of the last great games for the Genesis system. But Comix Zone has style and some substance, but sadly not as much as one would want. It makes it look as though your trapped hero really is fighting his way out! There are some hiccups, the move set is lacking any pizzazz and the difficulty can be unfair. Comix Zone Review by: endings - 7.8/10 Stylish Adventure little short on substance though Comix Zone is an action beat-em-up that takes the approach of, what if you were stuck in a comic book? To our hero Sketch, this is what happened, in his own book! The idea is really fleshed out - the stage ends are white lines that break up the panels you jump, drop, or break into.
