There are movies. There are games. This occasionally makes for movies based on video games. Usually the final product is horrible. Sometimes it's not. And sometimes, it's so wrong that it's hilarious! Examples of this include Bill and Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure, xXx, and this game, Home Alone.
Home Alone, for those of you who have lived without a TV for so long, stars Mcauly Kaulkin or whatever his name is. In the movie, he plays Kevin McCalister, who gets left behind when his family goes on Christmas vacation and ultimately stops the two evil burglars, Harry and Marv. Eventually, his mom finds a way home with a fatty-boom-batty musician, and arrives home right after the burglars disappear. As a coincidence, the rest of Kevin’s family makes their way home, too: on an AIRPLANE! Wow! Now why didn’t that mother think of that? And isn’t one never to ride home with strangers? Well, whatever. It’s her life, let her kill herself.
In the movie, Kevin sets up traps all around the house. In the game, he sets traps too. Except the traps aren’t traps at all! Instead, they’re boxes, with pictures of traps from the movie, which everyone knows is such a nuisance to trip over! You can pick up everything to make into a trap, from Christmas ornaments to curling irons, and move them to certain places so Harry and Marv trip on them. If you can survive for twenty minutes, you win the game. It's that simple...or is it? Harry and Marv are bigger than you, and so move faster. Fortunately, they’re not as smart as you! They trip over large, brightly-colored boxes and just flail in the air for a time. Usually it’s a short time, like ten or five seconds.
"But, Dark Chao," you may be saying, "What's so funny about all that?" The answer: nothing. The funny part doesn't even show until you're caught by either Harry or Marv. Then, you come to a screen in front of a fireplace with stockings hanging over it. And, coming down the chimney is not Santa Claus, but a bio-hazardous cloud! How do we know it's bio-hazardous? Because it's green! Oh, and it has "Oh no!" written in it. Then you play again. Or you take the game out of the NES, slam it against the wall, and burn the pieces. But why would you want to do that? If you didn't like the movie, why should you like the game? Because the game's funnier!
