[edit] Gameplay

The purpose of the game is to save Atlantis from doom. The story is told by cut scenes that do not use animation or voices. The story of the game is told by text that accompanies pictures, like a comic book. The way to progress is to swim around the level and defeat the enemies there. The player has to control Aquaman and make him fight. The levels are filled with empty ruined buildings that Aquaman sometimes has to swim around. Sometimes Aquaman approaches groups of enemies. When Aquaman fights he can punch, kick, and grapple with his opponents to defeat them. There are also times throughout the game where you can pilot crafts through the water and shoot down enemy submarines.

[edit] Reception

This game has been named "one of the worst games of all time" by the hosts of the show X-Play and was the genesis for their annual "Golden Mullet Awards," a ranking of the previous years' worst games.^[1]

The game received extremely poor ratings. Many reviews said that the game was boring and lacked originality. According to a review by Gamespot, “Aquaman has basic punch, kick, and grab attacks, a half dozen or so combo attacks, and a couple of special moves, including the ability to call in the help of some nearby sea life, but simply mashing on the A button for the duration of the game works sufficiently.” Another main aspect of the game that is criticized is the graphics. IGN reviewed the graphics and said, “Unimpressive. Aquaman looks like one-time-rock star Ted Nugent on a bad hair day and animates through fights like a robot having a seizure. While worlds are large looking, they are also filled with some kind of fogging and also completely void of life; no ground objects or animated backgrounds; no civilians; no craft.” The game was rated a 3 out of ten by IGN. The game was sold for only twenty dollars upon release.
