I remember when this game first came out (Spawn: In The Demon's Hand) that I was totally gaga for it just from the screenshots, plus I was into just about everything Capcom made so I figured one way or another I was going to play it. I think by the time my brother had 'acquired' it I had already read one or two reviews on it, which of course were not too kind, so I can say I did know what I was getting into.
When I played it I realized why it was so hated (no offense Axel). Even still- I tried very hard to like this game. I even went as far as trying to find all the weapons in each level with every character (which I never did finish & anyone who's attempted it will tell you it's a pain in the ass). I also went to Capcom of America & Capcom of Japan's web site to get info on secrets & they had all sorts of interesting things like production model art, development notes, maps, etc., which I snagged. Todd Mcfarlane wrote something like "less pointy tits" on one of those notes, & had redrew some of the muscle mass areas, so it was clearly a collaboration of some kind, although my guess would be that it was a rush job.
Not my favorite piece of pastry, but obviously more then a few people like this game. Acquired taste I guess. |
