    It lacks staying power.

    A blend of Spider-Man and Tony Hawk, Energy Hook is the kind of old-school Activision-inspired outing that any millennial should be able to enjoy. Unfortunately, the execution's just not there, and cumbersome controls coupled with some real lousy presentation mean that this is a swing and a miss we're sad to say.

    The game is basically just you trying to pull off ‘stylish’ stunts as you swing around, doing whatever the game tells you to do. I put stylish in quotation marks, because what I know stylish to mean and what the game thinks it means are apparently two different things.

    This is the absolute bottom of the barrel, a completely unenjoyable, unplayable mess from start to finish that's a strong contender for the title of worst game ever made.

    I hate this game so much. The jerky camera made me nauseous. One of the worse controlled games I have ever played. Might be the worst gameI hate this game so much.

    I love energy in my video games as it shows the drive and passion that the developers have for the game, and the game shows abundance of it.I love energy in my video games as it shows the drive and passion that the developers have for the game, and the game shows abundance of it.
