Another amazing classic, if you ask me. I've honestly never seen the movie that I believe this game is based on, but nonetheless, I love this game. And as far as the Genesis sound chip goes, the 16-bit renditions of classic songs, such as "Smooth Criminal" and "Billie Jean," it sounds lovely on the Genesis, even if people do like to criticize the sound chip every so often.
Your goal is to find the children hidden behind doors, bushes, in cars, etc. within every level. After finding them all, Bubbles, your monkey friend, will point you in the direction of the boss battle, where Mr. Big will taut you and promptly leave before a horde of baddies appears. I love doing the dance routines with the enemy waves, as it's fun to watch them dance with Michael and then promptly fall over after it finishes. Every level has 3 stages, and once you finish Mr. Big's Hideout, you must face him in an epic space showdown.
Otherwise, I love the detail in everything. The sprites are well-animated, especially Michael's sprites, they're very fluid, and all of the environments have some wonderful detail on them. This is an example of pushing your hardware to its limit, if you ask me (even though I am no expert on how the hardware for consoles, or anything for that matter, works and what its limit is). All the same, though, it looks amazing and sounds amazing. It's just a really fun game.
As I said with Altered Beast, you should definitely try this game out if you can. It's another short game that you can bang out in an hour or so if you know exactly how to play, which is very easy to do anyway. And of course, you have to bust some sick dance moves and have fun watching enemies, and even spiders and zombies, dancing with you to some iconic Michael Jackson music!
Have a nice day!~
