Yep, I've seen the movie over, and over, and over... Which is why I own this obscure game...

Graphics: 8
Everything moves smooth and swift. The action is comical, and fun to play with. I enjoy watching the funny green man run at impossibly high velocity across the screen, and smashing enemies flat with a huge sledge hammer from thin air.

Sound: 6
The music in the first level is fun, but all the others are kind of... meh. The sound effects are good, but I noticed that the only thing he says is "hey!" (when he gets hurt)

Gameplay: 7
I like games that are possible to pass the first two levels. The boss in the second level is literally impossible. Unless you're ungodly good at the game, and can press buttons so fast they fly through the earth and end up in Mongolia, I see no way to pass that stupid boss!

Overall: 8
Sure I can't pass the second level, but it's still fun enough to play the first one over, and over again. Thus I give this movie based game an eight out of ten.

Funny thing is, unlike most movie based games, the Mask is actually enjoyable to play.
