Finally the second movie game I've run into in this challenge! Daredevil is a movie I've actually seen, however, this game doesn't really have anything to do with the movie other than using some of the characters from it. The gameplay is honestly absolute shit. The character's look kinda weird and janky, the gameplay FEELS janky, and the level designs are pretty bland. To make matters worse, they have some intentional blind falls AND some missable 'tokens' you can miss in those blind falls. As a gamer, I just feel insulted by those types of design choices. The goal if this game is to go from point A to point B, with the option of beating up everyone you meet and also collecting DD tokens. DD tokens unlock extra stuff from the main menu. It ranges from movie shots to alternate costumes, but nothing too noteworthy. The bosses in this game are RIDICULOUS. They all have ridiculous hitboxes and are ridiculously tough compared to the rest of the game. The levels themselves range from very short jogs to SUPER LARGE LONG levels. If you die, you go back to the start of a level and lose a life... everything resets. The final boss additionally doesn't fight you in a fair 1 on 1... he weakens you before fighting you. Hitboxes man....
All in All, This game is worth less than its score even, but I'm generous today. Aside from a few cool stages, The levels looked like crap. The jumping mechanics are absolutely horrid and double jump is REQUIRED several times to progress. The hitboxes are crap, and the enemies get more iFrames than the player. The first boss and final boss have the most notoriously garbage hitboxes. The final boss can ONLY be hit by jumping kicks which he will counter unless you land inside him and move with him. There's no "SAVE" option, only a password system. Game resets everything when you shut it off.
