Bucky O'Hare is an action-platformer that's based on the comic book of the same name.
+ Allows you to choose the order in which you tackle the first four stages, and there's even a handy password feature.
+ Being able to switch between characters on the fly adds strategy, as well as puzzle elements in terms of how to progress.
+ Gorgeous graphics with detailed sprite work and cut-scenes, and the music does an excellent job of heightening the intensity.
- Difficulty is wildly uneven and many sections will have you tearing your hair out due to the reliance on trial-and-error over skill.
- Recycles many ideas from other NES games such as Life Force (1987), Mega Man II (1988) and Battletoads (1991).
- Too many sections lean on Blinky's abilities and overall there's not enough focus on the rest of the characters.
