Frankenstein

With Frankenstein, Icon have managed to do the impossible and come up with an original idea for an arcade game. It could, however, have been better executed.

The scenario is strongly reminiscent of Fantastic Voyage, the movie in which a submarine is injected into a man's body to save his life. Here, you're inside Frankenstein's monster's body, a lurid assembly of human parts, only the object is to do him in.

It's a great idea, but the graphics aren't that hot, the movement is jerky and a bit slow, and above all, it's too easy to dispose of the hazards. You won't feel challenged for very long.
