Darkwing Duck is an enjoyable platformer based on the popular Disney character from the early 90s. It feels a lot like Bionic Commando. It almost feels a little too much like Bionic Commando in places. There is one enemy in particular (that I'm too lazy to get captures of) that is almost exactly the same in both games. Darkwing Duck isn't close enough to Bionic Commando for lawsuit purposes, but it's definitely suspicious.
Legal matters aside, Darkwing Duck is a fine game. Darkwing is well-animated as are his enemies. The levels are well-designed and are difficult enough to provide a decent challenge but not so hard that you'll throw up your hands in despair. Unlike the aforementioned Bionic Commando, Darkwing doesn't have a bionic arm. He does, however, have the ability to grab onto many structures, some of which feel a whole lot like the lights you swing from in Bionic Commando. I'm not going to stop harping on this Bionic Commando thing because I've already written it and right or wrong I'm moving forward with it.
Bionic Commando comparisons aside, Darkwing Duck is a fine game. The gameplay is simple, the graphics are rich and vibrant (especially for an NES game), the levels are fun to play, and it's a total ripoff of Bionic Commando (See? I told you I wouldn't stop).
