Hook is an action game that was released on numerous systems including the Sega CD and Sega Game Gear in 1993.
+ Level design is good with a nice mixture of scrolling types / locales, and the film's music is faithfully recreated.+ Weapons-based combat has a satisfying thud, and your limited ability to fly adds depth and tension to the gameplay.
+ Overworld map gives your quest a sense of scale, and the boss battles feature some well-designed attack patterns.
- Stage layouts can occasionally give you the illusion of choice, while expecting you to follow a very set path.
- Controls are unrefined and despite the need for precise movements your directional inputs are sometimes ignored.
- Suffers from an infuriating amount of cheap hits from enemies / objects that are just out of your field of view.
- Peter Pan walks incredibly slowly and the lack of checkpoints in some areas can set you back a considerable way.
