TDK Mediactive Masters of the Universe - He-Man - Power of Grayskull Gameboy Advance Action Review

Overall Rating
 1 of 5

Summary:


If Mattel has any sense in all they’re corporate being, they'll rip the Masters of the Universe license away from the fumbling three legged clod that is TDK Mediactive. I can only hope that any future attempts at making a game with the dearest of all 80's child hood heroes is a far cry from this blatant fast paycheck for TDK. For some unknown reason, TDK is able to secure some big licenses, like Casper(Yeah), Shrek(wow), and even Robotech. Count em with me kids, that’s 1,2,3 Piceses of video game fruitcake waiting to be put in your little brothers Christmas stocking. Why is TDK generating all this business when they're known for inferior product thus far. I can call it right now, Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis ( The DC Comic Great) is coming to the GameCube straight from our friends at TDK and I can already tell ya, it will be a forgettable we-cut-corners , hope-you-don’t-notice piece of garbage.

Summary:
I've been a He-man fan my entire life, even after He-man was long gone after the 80's, i would still watch old episodes i taped or would draw him in all his glory while thinking back to when life was good. Then finally, He-man returned in a huge way and i quickly became hooked on the show and when i saw that there was a game out, i quickly got my pay and bought it.It was without a doubt the worst game i'd ever played. But hey, the comic that came with it was cool and the box looks great with my He-man collection!

Summary:
Having grown up watching He-Man as a kid, I had to get this game. And I have to say that I've been pretty impressed. Mind you, I am not an avid gamer that plays video games 24/7 (I used to that back in the NES/sega days). I mostly play games for fun and to kill time in airports. This game is perfect for that.

Summary:
He-Man makes his Gameboy Advance debut in what is most definately a great game. Other than a few very minor confusions that appear in the game (such as taking a few extra seconds to get from one platform to another by cutting down a tree), and some mildly difficult enemies, this game is flawless. The most powerful man in the universe blows most other games away especially for fans who grew up with him.

Summary:
I was lucky enough to see this game ahead of release and it's great fun. It's also quite difficult so be prepared for some battling. The graphics are beautiful, it scrolls without glitches and there are original sound bites from the cartoon show which give it a great feel of authenticity. This is very well done technically.
