Battle of the Ports

This week on Battle of the Ports we're off to McDonald's with Battle of the Ports - Mick & Mack in Global Gladiators

I remember this reviewed really well, but I didn’t like it (MD version). I felt the environments were really ugly with awful colours. But then to play, it was one of those games where the camera doesn’t track the character well, frantically jumping around all over the place. Even with all that set aside, it just felt like a bland platformer with really average mechanics. I just didn’t get the fuss at all.

Doesn’t surprise me that the developer then went on to do Cool Spot, which is plagued with the same rubbish camera. I didn’t like that one either!

I'm with you 100% there. I don't particularly like Earthworm Jim either.
