Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Despite being one of big Arnie's more divisive movies, I actually quite enjoyed Last Action Hero. Sure, it's nowhere near the giddy heights of Predator or Terminator 2, but it's a reasonable enough outing for the former Mr. Olympia, despite its flaws. Unsurprisingly, various games based on the move launched about the same time as the cinematic launch, but I'd never played any of them until now.
Unfortunately, I wish it could have stayed that way. This has to be one of the worst excuses for a game I've ever played, and I'd have been seriously cheesed off if I'd paid good money for this back in the day.
The "game" is split into a series of sections based on scenes from the movie. These alternate between crap beat 'em up and crap driving sections, offering absolutely zero entertainment value. In fact, the title should have been Lost Action - Zero, because the "action" went AWOL, that's for sure. The fighting sections involve little more than repeatedly punching the same 3 enemies over and over until the game decides to let your progress, only to repeat the process. The piece de resistance has to be the rooftop fight where you have to punch -- PUNCH! -- rockets back at a helicopter to blow it up. Utter crap!
Just to rub salt in the wounds, the main sprite looks absolutely nothing like Jack Slater/Arnold Schwarzenegger. I would hazard a guess the developers didn't have the rights to use his likeness because you never see Slater's face in any of the cutscenes and his presence is completely absent from the title screen. All we have is some balding dude in a camel-coloured coat and red shirt who looks like a rather sweaty nightclub bouncer instead of the musclebound mega-movie star.
With absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever, this should never have been released. A more fitting title would have been "Lost Action - Zero", because this an experience completely devoid of action or fun.
