20) Knockout Man, another two player only game. Seriously, who the hell do these guys think they are? What in the history of the Active company would lead anybody to believe more than one person would ever want to play their games at a time? And there's still more than one such game remaining after this. If only the Internet was around and widespread in 1991. Then Active would realize how much they suck and they'd be spared the delusionally high levels of esteem they obviously have here. Perhaps the worst part is these mandatory two-player games are the worst of the worst. Knockout makes Urban Champion look like Fight Night Round 3. It involves mirror sprites punching, jumping, and moving left and right to victory. It also features a two-frame crowd animation for atmosphere. Normally, I'm not of the belief that just because somebody is bad at one thing, they'll be bad at everything else they attempt; just because somebody's a bad pro quarterback doesn't mean they'll stink up Congress as much. However, when an 'effort' like Knockout comes around, not only do the purveyors appear incompetent, they also seem to do it with maximum indifference. It's crap like this that makes you hope these guys aren't bagging your groceries. It's almost as if this thing was put together by prison inmates because they were bad at cleaning cigarette butts from highways. |
