Product Information
Saddled by platforms that you can fall right through, characters who walk slowly and attack weakly, gameplay elements that have nothing to do with the movie, and poor level design that invites ridicule for being both too easy and too frustrating, The Wizard of Oz lacks even a modicum of the charm, the intelligence, and the overall excellence of the feature film on which it is based. Dorothy, Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow, and Tin Man are all playable characters (at one point or another), and even little Toto gets in on the action in some ill-advised puzzle sequences, but there's little enjoyment to be had here. Dorothy is the most utilized character, but her kicking motion is less than effective against the enemies, most of which attack from above, and the axe-wielding Tin Man can neither duck nor jump. The game looks decent, and there are four butchered versions of songs from the film. Sound effects are sparse. This is a nice Wizard of Oz collectible as long as you don't actually play the game.Product Identifiers
