Herc's Adventures

[Zack Burner]

Time for a wacky coop game! Release by Lucasarts the same company that brought Zombies Ate My Neighbors, this game has the player(s) portray 3 different Greek heroes, Hercules, Atalanta, and Jason. You have a basic weapons, special attacks, healing items, and plenty of wacky special weapons to use ranging from boar traps, spears (sometimes with flames!), pepper breath, lightning bolts, and much more in tow to stop plenty of Greek monsters from Cyclops, Stymphamylean Birds, Spartan Warriors, Harpies, Dryads, boars, and for bosses the classical Boar, Minotaur, Medusa, Hydra, Talos, Cerberus, and finally Hades in an attempt to rescue Persephone from Hades. If you lose a life, prepare yourself, for you have to fight your way back to the surface before you get another chance and the more you die the harder it becomes and you only get this three times so be careful. There's plenty of humor and god encounters. If there is one negative it's the lack of blending in all the variety like what Zombies Ate my Neighbors did with blending monsters in which made you think on your feet. Here it's the same enemies in one area which can get a little bit boring. Other than that this is worth checking out.
