The "enhanced" visual setting makes the game look worse than the classic view and the dodge move is almost impossible to pull off.

The game is arguably a little too tough, with plenty of ways to lose health but few to top it back up again, and there are a couple of precision do-or-die leaps that act as stark reminders of the game's unforgiving vintage.

Such a unique game with an amazing presentation. As a sega genesis lover, you'd be sad to miss this gem, so I recommend you play the game via SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics!

An amazing and wonderful game that is amazingly faithful to the comic book elements and brings the gamer into the happy and creative world of the comic book! Really bold!

A Sega Mega Drive/Genesis classic for modern consoles. This is a quality game that is well worth a play through, If you've never played Comix Zone before then you're missing out.
