This video game is pretty cool, but I find it a bit difficult. In the comic book, the Silver Surfer is nearly invincible. In this game, you get hit once, you're off your board and you die. What happened to the power cosmic? Go figure.

Basically, this game is a shooter like those flying around games where you just try to shoot everything without getting hit. Half the time its a side scroller, the other half it's a top view. That's clever.
The power cosmic comes in a small white ball that blows stuff up. Usually you have to hit things more than once. You pick up what look like F boxes or cards. The more F you have the more powerful you become. You can pick up orbs and now you shoot in more than one direction. You can controll the orbs so you can shoot to the side and back while you just shoot forward. The villians in the game are pretty strange. Firelord is actually a good guy in the comics and has basically the same powers as the Surfer. The Captain Reptile in the game doesn't really look like a pirate. All of his stages make him look like the lizard king of Hawaii. Then there is the Possesor. His level is kind of cool. Lots of classical sculptures. It looks like some corney Stephen Hawking music video. I know he doesn't have a music video, but if he did, this is what it would look like. Watch out for the flying vacuum cleaners in stage two! The rest of the game is too damn hard. You're supposed to beat all the bad guys, collect parts to some machine Galactus has so he can send you to some other dimension to fight who knows what. That sounds a lot like the comic book actually. However, it's really freakin' hard. Because this game is for the NES, I don't think it could be any better. Oh, I think I should add that the music to this game rocks!
