Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The King Of Pop in his own video game!!
AS=s unbelievable as it is Michael Jackson has made it into Sega Genesis! This is a great game to play! Dance, kill the bad guys, save the kidnapped girls! What more could you want? Oh yeah...Bubbles the chimp!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Chamoan-eh!
You guys are retarded anything michael puts out is definetely gonna be thriller! plus he's dancing in every level! what's cooler than that? honestly? If you guys could go back in time to 1989 than you'd guys would appreciate the effort MJ himself put into this video game! screw x box 360 cause i'd much rather save the innocent children with Michael and complete the ultimate quest for Peace of Mankind! And please dont call him Jacko you ingnorant mortals


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I've loved this game since the early 90's!!
This game is excellent for those of us who owned it before our original Genesis' broke down. You do get to dance and use it as a weapon along with the infamous hat throw and signature moonwalk. The background music is true to many a Michael album and the levels are true to the movie. You do rescue children, but they are alas, girls not boys (Annie are you ok?)!!

I've beaten the game numerous times and it is a classic!


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - What, in the eternal majesty of God's wonder, is this???
A 'fun' arcade game it may well have been in it's day, but one cannot play Moonwalker today without feeling dirty or somewhat guilty. Based on the 'movie' of the same name, Moonwalker is just as weird, bizarre and outrageously self-glorifying as Wacko Jacko himself.

You take on the role of a suspected pedo, dressed in a white gangster suit, who must rescue children (hidden in closets, drawers, garbage cans) from the evil Mr. Big. Upon being rescued these kids respond joyously with 'MICHAEL', knowing that they are now safe with the King of Pop. You need to rescue all the little sprogs in every level before you meet the end-level boss. But some children are too well hidden.

And who IS this Mr. Big exactly. The Jacko of 1989 fighting against a child-napper, who's motives for stealing kids is unknown in the game, seems prophetic in a split-personality kind of way. Just like in Thriller where he played a ghoulish, inhuman beast, eerily foreshadowing the future.

The gameplay itself is ludicrous. As you (moon)walk across the various levels (some generic, some inspired by his 'classic' music videos) you'll encounter baddies like gangsters and zombies and your amazing way of killing them is...dancing them do death. Seriously! It's not Jesus Juice, it's Jacko Jamming! You hit the special attack button and Jacko will suddenly yell 'OW!' before strutting his lethal stuff. After which, the baddies will be vanquished somehow. After playing this game you'll be exhilarated and mentally exhausted at Jacko's killer moves. You'll be reduced to a dribbling wreck. He's so good, that even passing-by animals will join in and shake their asses. If you ever wanted to play a game in which even an innocent dog is hypnotised by Jacko into dancing Thriller then this is for you. But I don't want to know you.

The music is no more than low-quality samples of Smooth Criminal and Thriller, as you should know this music follows Jacko everywhere he goes in real life and will change depending on where he is.

In the later levels, if you catch a falling star Jacko will turn into a huge robot. Of course. Like in the film, I just can't get over the feeling that Jacko only included this because he wants to see himself 100 feet high. It's ridiculous and has nothing to do with anything! But in a moronic, hopelessly out-dated video game I suppose it's okay. It was kind of easy to finish too and I never really played it again afterwards. But these days, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth and I can understand why no one would want to play it again.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Michael Jackson and little kids, REALLY?
I am not a huge Michael Jackson fan, but when I found this game I knew it would be insane, (since everything that revolves around M.J. usually is). In Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, you must guide M.J. through bars, garages, cemeteries, and etc. to save little children. Didn't see that one comming, did ya? To kill your enemies you can kick them, drain half your energy and throw your hat, or drain all your energy and dance them to death! When you dance your enemies to death, everyone in the screen stops, and starts dancing. At the end of the dance number, everyone falls to their death. Personally, I think this video game should have been use as evidence against M.J. This is a HILARIOUS video game; a must have. You will enjoy this game if you are a M.J. fan, or if you just collect sega games. Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is one to two players, and is fairly easy.
