Well, don't look here. Action 52 is a mulitcart that was released on NES and Genesis. Unlike most multicarts, Action 52 is comprised of 52 unpirated games(who would want to pirate such crap?). This collection of "games" is most comparable to a shareware cd promising 1000+games of excitement! All the games on Action 52 are pointless because you can keep score, but there's no battery to keep a high score list. Every last game on here is poorly coded and animated. Even the best game, Cheetamen is a horribly lame and stale platformer with bad jumping and no real animation so to speak. It even spawned a sequel called Cheetamen II which was released on nes, also crap I might add. There were a few games that held my interest for a little while, but even they get repetitive. The Genesis version doesn't even include the awesome intro of the nes version. I can understand why Sega or Nintendo didn't try to take Active Enterprises to court, it's like "why waste our time on a company that makes crappy games and is going bankrupt anyways?" Action 52 is fun to laugh at, bring some of your friends over and have a blast.

I noticed how theres an NES controller near the TV on the GENESIS label still...heh. LOL 52 games of crap, dont even bother. Its a waste of time. i feel sorry for the people bidding on this peice of crap on ebay (usually for high prices) it was probably made by drunk college kids. the graphics look like they were drawn in MS paint! even i could do better with MSP. pure crap. period.

After playing this game, I am mentally scared as well as mentally retarded. Or maybe I was to try to play it. So lemme break it down in caveman lingo for you:

Unga got game.
Unga played game.
Unga have urge to urinate in his own mouth after setting his gums on fire.
Nuff said, this is horrible.

Action 52 should be renamed:
Scrap 52, Bullshit 52, Trash-of-the-year 52.

This game is poop. But hey, You got to feel bad for the One guy in the game "Man at arms"

I'll stand by him to the end. All the rest of the games failed to motivate me.

This game is crap. The graphics suck and the games are like programming examples. Don't pay the huge price this would cost to get this game.

Err... What the hell is this? If there was any game that I would say to get the hell away from, this would be on the top of my list. Don't buy it. Don't play it. Don't do anything with this game. If gaming is a drug, then this is an ounce of dirt sprinkled with marijuana seeds. A waste of your time and money.
Anyway, if you still want to play this game, then you are retarded. Though Freeway has its moments. (That game is messed up!)

I'd still have this over a double-pack of Abrams Battle Tank and Super Thunderblade any day.

Amongst all of Sega's back catalogue there are some obvious turkeys, but why is this one rated so badly when there are title's that you just want to throw at the wall then kill when this one just doesn't piss me off as much?
