Give poor Aquaman a break.

I found this game used for 7 bucks. I didn't have high hopes, but I figured it was worth a shot. I loved the old Aquaman cartoons so it made sense that I would enjoy this game. I know it's getting a lot of bad reviews, but honestly I love it. I'm not going to lie, it's addictive. It has a nice Comic Book feel to it. If you are looking for realistic, aquatic action try Echo the Dolphin on the old Sega Geneis. It will probably blow your mind. Anyway, Aquaman is certainly not a complex game, just very straight forward and fun. As a bonus once you beat the game on the Easy Mode you are able to play as Classic Aquaman... you know the one with both hands, no beard and no mullet. (Don't get me started.) Then once you beat it as Classic Aquaman you can play as Aqualad (oh, I'm sorry, he likes to be called Tempest now) and Black Manta. Each character has their unique powers. It's like 10 bucks, what have you got to lose? Go on, Take a chance on Aquaman... after all, he can talk to fish.
 

God, my eyes, they burn.

I will start off by saying that I am cheap when it comes to video games. $50? Hmm . . .two months later, it's $20! I saw this for fifteen dollars, brand new, on the shelves of a local retailer, and I thought to myself, "Why not? Can't be that bad."

OH . . .MY . . .GOD.

This game isn't bad. That would be like calling George W. Bush 'not the brightest'. This is how not to do it, plain and simple. Everything about this game is so horrible, so perfectly wrong, you cannot find any single adjective in the English language to describe it. Think of what would happen if ET: The Extraterrestrial for Atari (shudder, sob) had a love child with anything on the Atari JAGUAR (petit mal seizure). This would be it. The controls come in two categories: "pathetically simple", or "do I look like I have seven thumbs, you waste of silicon?"

The game goes like this: swim. Fight something. Swim. Defuse a few bombs. Swim. Fight something else. The cutscenes are rendered in comic book form, drawn by little Timmy Sutherland, age 3, of Swamp-rot, Louisiana. There are no voices, which is just as fortunate, because the VOs would probobly sound like the noises my computer makes before crashing rendered into words.

This game is the perfect example of the survival horror genre. If you make it past three minutes of subjecting yourself to this pure, unadulterated crap without commiting ritual suicide with the company letter opener, then you win. Burn the disk, and get a priest to cleanse your console of the evil you just ran through it. Rabbis work, too, I found out. Mazeltov, Aquaman. Don't ever do it again.
