| Hook (Video Game) | comment |
Hook is a 1992 platform game released by Ocean Software on Commodore 64, Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy, released just one year after the Steven Spielberg film, with subsequent versions also being released by Sony Imagesoft for the SNES, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, and Game Gear. The game received praise for the large levels, the graphics and the various gameplay styles it features, but has also got a lot of flak about the long loading times (in the C64 version) and the rather repetitive platforming levels.There is another game based on the movie, released in the very same year with the exact same name, but that one is a Beat 'em Up arcade action game in the style of Golden Axe and Final Fight. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Hook (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: One level is platforming, the next one could be underwater, then a 2D beat-em up style boss fight, then you get to fly... | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay: You're bound to spend hours exploring the large, labyrinthine levels looking for the items required to move on until you memorize where they're hidden and can optimize the path to take in subsequent playthroughs. | |

Heck, the bumbling Smee serves as a difficult penultimate boss fight and assists Hook with a cannon at low health. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Hook (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: Captain Hook himself. In the USA version, you face two weak clones of him, who have a limited arsenal of his moves, then you face him two stages later, where he has improved with the sword, then in the final stage he introduces his gun, and then you have the true final fight against him. In the Japanese version the clones are absent, but he still has enough fights to count. | |

Adaptational Badass: Peter, who went from a mild-mannered, mostly weak lawyer who is only strong towards the end to a badass fighter beating up scores and scores of pirates in multiple levels. Heck, the bumbling Smee serves as a difficult penultimate boss fight and assists Hook with a cannon at low health. | |

Loads and Loads of Loading | |
| Hook (Video Game) / int_96181ea7 | comment |
Loads and Loads of Loading: The devastating amount of loading screens is the main source of the complaints leveled at the game. Hook is arguably the one game in the Commodore 64 library with the longest and most frequent loading screens, on a platform which is already infamous for its long, boring loading sequences. | |

Double Jump: Sort of: Touching fairy dust during a jump, rather than granting flight, acts like a springboard sending you up in a second jump which could be necessary in order to clear large chasms. | |
