Comix Zone

[Ayen]

It's been a while since I talked about an old game.

Has anyone here ever played Comix Zone? It was a beat 'em up game on the Sega Genesis where a comic book artist is pulled into a comic book and you swing from panel to panel with enemies who are drawn on screen to take you out. It was awesome!

Discuss.

Yep! Got it on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis collection for the PS2. I liked the comic book format, it was really creative and cleverly done. The game itself was a little difficult and repetitive for my taste, but I still worked my way through it. Good times.

I've only played it a little, and it was awesome.

I get what you mean by difficulty. Even now I can barely get past the first level on the game without dying a whole bunch. That seemed par for the course, though. Both Battletoads/Double Dragon and X-Men 2 were hard as all smurf as well.

I played it for a few hours sometime last years and loved it. The mechanics are very cleverly put together. Agreed that it is tough as nails though. I don't think I got past level 2.

A friend of mine owned it and I would go over to his place in middle school and play it. Except for some design flaws that made the game unnecessarily harder than it should be (why does hitting inanimate objects cause damage to my health?) it was a pretty sweet brawler. One of the few games that made me really appreciate the Sega Genesis.

Has anyone actually completed this game? xD

[Big D]

Sure did - both endings. Though I had to make extensive use of the quicksave feature on the PS2 version, because ain't nobody got time fo' restarting from scratch whenever something goes wrong.

I like Comix Zone a lot and I am utterly terrible at it!

[krissy]

There are multiple endings?

I hear you about the saves. I did that with Sonic on my Genesis Collection for the Xbox.

[Big D]

There are multiple endings?Only two. Depends on whether you save the lass-whose-name-I-forget, or if she dies during the final battle with the villainous bloke-whose-name-I-also-forget.

I was awful at comix zone. My Brother and I took turns trying to beat it.I don't think we made it past the 2nd or 3rd stage.

I gotta say I feel much better sucking at this game knowing I wasn't the only one.

One of the few beat-em-ups I was able to beat as a youngun.
