Review of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Review

It's unbelievable what the Super Nintendo used to get away with in terms of games. Looking back at these film-to-game conversions there's no reason why this one should stick out amidst the many that were released around the same time in a cheap attempt to cash in on a wave of cinema-going excitement. But for some reason, I played this game a lot. I'm almost embarrassed to admit it now, I don't think I'd ever be seen dead buying a game-of-a-film these days.

The gameplay was the most basic side-scrolling action you can ever imagine. All you had to do was dodge people walking around and of course dreaded stray appliances like hoovers and the like which would apparently kill you on impact. Thank God gaming has improved since then. I played it again recently on an emulator and was completely unimpressed.

3/10
