People say:

I have yet to see the movie, and I don't know if I will now, because I'm pretty sure the game has ruined a lot of the story line for me. So be warned if you haven't seen the movie and pick the game up first Hercules is one of the best games to come from Virgin (well, actually the developers, Eurocom Entertainment software and Disney Interactive as far as Virgin's side-scrollers go O e., Aladdin, Jungle Book, etc.) because of the cool new style the game has. The game isn't just 2-D like the old Disney-based titles were. In this one they have Hercules going on all sorts of directions with semi-3-D environments. Semi-3-D because there are polygons being used On pretty coollooking styles, by the way), but there are also plenty of well-animated sprites combined with the polygons. The game also uses melodies and iconography from the movie, so get ready for a wacky festival with plenty of humor while playing. I liked going through this one, although some of the levels were annoyingly difficult. The game has some minor rough edges that'll more than likely be overlooked if played. I guess it all comes down to liking Disney's style or not, but for me, this type of game works well with the funny characters, dramatic Bosses and some long levels.

This sleeper came out of nowhere and surprised us all at EGM. Hercules takes everything you liked from old side-scrolling classics and gives them a big 32-Bit boost. This game looks incredible. the levels are innovative and the Bosses are formidable. The controls are mediocre (you'll take a lot of unnecessary hits), and the game is short, but it's still recommended.

This one takes me back to the good days of Virgin's 16-Bit Disney-based games. Hercules packs the old-school charm and gameplay of classics like Aladdin, combined with the most fluid animation yet seen in a PlayStation game. It offers a good variety of levels, too The side scrolling stages are the best). I do wish it was easier to collect passwords.

This is one of the biggest surprises to come out of E3. Hercules is an outstanding platform game that really captures the look and feel of the Disney movie. The hand-drawn art is excellent, in addition to its technique of combining 2-D and 3-D graphics. There is plenty of variety between levels, and (most importantly) this game is just a lot of fun to play.

Plot[edit]

The game follows the same storyline from the animated film. Hercules, son of Zeus, is stripped of his godhood and must prove that he is a true hero in order to regain his immortality, and join Zeus and the other gods on Mount Olympus. To do that, Hercules must pass several tasks and defeat many villains, and at the end, face Hades, ruler of the dead, who is also responsible for Hercules' losing of his immortality.

Gameplay[edit]

The game is mainly two-dimensional, although in many missions the player can walk to other planes via pathways or stairs.[2] There are ten levels and three difficulty modes: Beginner, Medium, and Herculean. The last two levels are playable only on Medium and Herculean difficulties. There are three rush levels in the game in which the player must run forward through the map and avoid obstacles without being able to stop or fight.

The player's health can be increased by picking up Hercules Action Figures and drinking Herculade cups found throughout the game. The player's main weapon is the sword; Hercules can also punch, but this is a much more difficult way to defeat enemies. Weapon powerups, known as Gifts of the Gods, can be found throughout the game, consisting of the Lightning Sword (shoots lightning any direction Hercules aims when selected and fired), Fireball Sword (shoots fireballs that seek out onscreen enemies when selected and fired), and the Sonic Sword (affects enemy targets at close range with a circular sonic blast when selected and fired). There is also a helmet which grants the player a few seconds of invulnerability when activated. Powerups have limited action, and once their energy has depleted, they can no longer be used.

In many levels there are hidden letters that, if collected, will form the word HERCULES and will allow the player to spawn directly at the next level, instead of starting the game over from the beginning. There are also four hidden vases in each mission, that upon collection will give the player a password save for the current level. Most of the bosses cannot be defeated by conventional fighting and require the player to perform special actions to pass. Among the enemies that Hercules faces are Nessus the Centaur, the Minotaur, the Harpies, the Hydra, the Gorgon, Hades, several Titans, and a Cyclops.

Re-releases[edit]

The PlayStation version of the game was re-released by Majesco Sales in 1998 with an E rating (which replaced the ESRB's 'Kids to Adults' rating the same year) and the words 'Action Game' removed from the title.[3]

On March 8, 2011, the PlayStation version of the game was re-released as a PSOne Classic on the PlayStation Store.[4] On May 17, 2019, the PC version of the game was re-released on GOG.com[5] and Steam.[6]

The game divided critics. Whether a review gave a positive or negative recommendation largely hinged on the reviewer's opinion of the game's use of stereotypical last generation gameplay with modern elements. GameSpot, for example, described Disney's Hercules as a sort of greatest hits of the '16-bit' Disney titles, incorporating the best elements of those games while still having enough advances to take it 'to the 32-bit level', and accordingly concluded it to be a must-have.[9] Dan Hsu of Electronic Gaming Monthly similarly said that 'Hercules takes everything you liked from old side-scrolling classics and gives them a big 32-bit boost.'[8] On the other side, Next Generation said it 'follows the style set out by every single side-scrolling action title of the 16-bit era, so much so in fact that it feels like a Genesis game: Walk from left to right, hacking at centaurs and other mythological creatures with a sword. It's all been done before, and done better as well.' He noted that there were modern gameplay elements but found them to be largely superficial.[10]GamePro similarly remarked, 'The main problem is that we've all played this game before, just with different dressings.'[11]

Most critics applauded the game's mixture of polygons and sprites, both for the high quality of those elements and the way they were seamlessly integrated with each other.[8][9][10]GamePro partially disagreed, citing severe pixelation, but acknowledged that the hand-drawn animation is impressive.[11] The usage of music and voices from the film was also widely praised.[8][9][11]

At the 1999 Milia festival in Cannes, Hercules took home a 'Gold' prize for revenues above €15 million in the European Union during 1998.[12]
