Hook

A really enjoyable adventure game, however a very short one. Unforgetable tunes and smooth animation make this title unique and one of a kind. Custom made interface needs to be accustomed to, but it suits its purpose correctly. Worth playing.

A lot more polished aesthetically than the Lucasfilm/Sierra adventures, although disappointingly short.

Good intro and a competent adventure. There were some nice locations and animation. I seem to recall getting completely stuck though (in the days before checking walkthroughs on the net).

I remember the animation on that swinging door knocked my socks off!

Memorable soundtrack, still one of my favourite, ever. Apart from the intro, the best part was when Peter remembers he's Peter Pan... There's the interlude, an emotive tune that explodes in a great celebrative mood. It spoofs something from Monkey Island here and there, but that's acceptable. If you love adventures you should definitely play this one.

This game deserves more plaudits than it achieves; this is a great little adventure with more than a hint of LucasArts about it. It clearly will never match Monkey Island standards, but it's a fair romp nonetheless. Definitely worth a stab for fans of the Point-and-Click genre. Hell, I even forgot this game had a film license attached to it! Oh, and what an INCREDIBLE title theme - amongst the Miggy's finest. I kid ye not! Arrrr. Pirate mode aborted.

Oh, yet another movie license ported to the video game market... Yeah but this one really worth it. A great adventure game, accessible to everyone even not the hardcore adventure gamer. A bit short maybe.

This was my first real Adventure game and I loved it. I was hooked (no pun intended) it had some wonderful scenes and wonderful puzzles and was a joy to play. I played it to the end and I remember hearing at the time about this amazing game called Monkey Island. I didn't beleive the hype at first and kept insisting Hook was better- even though I hadn't played MI. I completed Hook and then found mum had baught me Monkey Island 2 to make up for the loss. Boy was I wrong. Great Fun but only silver to Lucas Arts Adventures.

Not the greatest adventure game. Still, if this is considered one of the poor ones, you begin to realise how good the others on the Amiga really are. Nice try but there are better adventure games out there.

It wasn't the best adventure game out but it was enough to keep me going on playing it. I found the GFX well drawn out at the time and the plot was good too. Nice little intro to get you going and straight into the game...Well done to Ocean for finally producing a reasonable good film tie in this time around

While not up to standards of LucasArts, Hook was an enjoyable adventure game. Very surprising move from Ocean to produce a bit different film tie-in as it could so easily have been yet another run-of-the-mill platformer. Perhaps a bit too easy for veteran players but entertaining nonetheless. Extra mention must go to the brilliant title tune.

While this wasn't up to the quality of a LucasArts game or even a Sierra title, it did fill the gap between adventures from the big two, and had great graphics (a very nice change of pace after so many horrid Sierra ports)

Well, I was no fan off the movie, but I have to comment of the title screen music, very professional, worth the time for a boot-up to hear this, gonna have to convert this into a Mp3 one-day...

Nice and entertaining adventure game from Ocean based on the movie with Robbie Williams. I've spent quite some time playing this game but I remember getting stuck at some point. Excellent title screen music. Check it out.
