Hercules is based on the newly released Disney movie, and it follows it quite religiously. There are even actual cinematic clips taken from the movie and incorporated into the game. Although not contributing to gameplay, these contribute to the game's cartoon look which the programmers of Hercules sought to achieve. It is also sure to please fans of the Disney movie. Of course, you control the muscle-bound Hercules character. The game is mostly action oriented, but it does require that you use your brain and brawn to fight the mythical creatures and villainous enemies you'll find in your quest to live on Mt. Olympus as a god. These enemies include the Hydra, a beastly monster with an assortment of heads that regenerate if decapitated; the one-eyed Cyclops; and the ever-beautiful Medusa. Each of these villains pose different threats to you and will have to be toppled in order for I Hercules to obtain his status as a god on Mt. Olympus. Not only does the game provide great animation, but the different voices that come from your animated allies add to the ambience of the game. These voices include Danny DeVito as Phil, James Woods as Hades and "Bobcat" Goldthwait as Pain-just like the movie. There are 10 different levels within the game, and each is taken from various scenes in the movie. Most of the levels are that of sidescrolling fare, but there are also 3-D sequences (such as one that is an incredibly long obstacle course) spaced throughout giving the game variety. There are three different worlds within these levels. They consist of Earth. Mt. Olympus and the Underworld. The graphics in Hercules are impressive, as it meshes 2-D side-scrolling gameplay with 3-D graphics and landscapes. For instance, axes and other 3-D obstacles will swing back and forth, giving the game depth. One notable feature about Hercules is the way he can move in and out of several layers of background scenery, which enhances the overall depth and gives the game an extra element of exploration. Using this, many levels have multiple paths and secret areas that hold extra power-ups and goodies. In stores now. Hercules is a game that will appeal to both fans of the movie and to gamers who love a good action game.
