Although you get fight scenes, harrowing jumps, and chase action, Cliffhanger's uneven game play will keep it from being a smash.

The Video Game Critic
Naturally, you're also expected to make a series of obligatory "leaps of faith". But the worst aspect of Cliffhanger is its unforgiving avalanche stage where you have to run through an obstacle course of trees and rocks with a wall of snow bearing down upon you. It's not unusual to breeze through dozens of fights without a scratch, only to use up every last one of your lives on this single frustrating stage. Yes, you can continue, but that takes you all the way back to the beginning of the game! There's no password either! Cliffhanger's graphics are pretty mediocre, although the bass-heavy background music isn't bad. This Genesis edition is so fast and responsive that the SNES version almost seems sluggish by comparison. But when a game is this unforgiving, the added speed is just a detriment. Note: Despite what the box claims, this game is one player only.
