Graphically, the game does a pretty good job of selling the concept to you, with action taking place across actual comic book panels and the backgrounds looking like they could have been part of an actual comic as well. Now, Sketch must not only find a way to escape the comic, but he must also save the Comix Zone before Mortus destroys it and is fully able to realize himself in the real world. Taking on the role of comic book artist Sketch Turner, a lightning storm causes Sketch to get sucked into the very comic book he was creating, the antagonist of his story Mortus taking his place in the real world to hassle him by drawing in new additions to the already bleak and perilous world that Sketch had been creating for the Comix Zone. One thing that definitely contributes to Comix Zone’s misplaced love is its strong commitment to its style.
After all, that game apparently took priority over the titles that haven’t been ported yet, so certainly this game must be worthy of such attention! Unfortunately, for modern gamers who are willing to take a look back at older titles, this might give them a bit of a skewed perspective on what constitutes a good old game, and Comix Zone feels like a title that mostly sustains itself based either on nostalgia or on that unintended deception born from keeping the game around for modern players. A port of an old title or a remake can give the impression that the game is of a certain level of quality where it deserves a rerelease. While I will always love a company for making its games more accessible and preserving them for future generations, there is a small risk when bringing back retro games for a modern audience. Many games from its old Genesis library will crop up as ports or in collections on modern consoles and even on platforms like the PC and mobile phones, and the absolute slew of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 ports across countless systems is a bit of a running joke in its community. Sega is perhaps one of the best companies when it comes to rereleasing its old titles on newer hardware.
