Having lived in a few small towns, being an outsider, Springfield was and is quite believable. No one ever tried to kill me, but sometimes you get the impression they'd like to.
What is up with the big high altitude hovercraft? Fans are quick to criticize Hasbro's goofier creations, but this was straight from Hama. Pretty strange. And we have the also sci-fi brainwave scanner, which would later be heavily overused.
Not that it was a bad issue. The weird hallucinations, the creepy Springfield, Dr. Venom...some good elements.
That funeral of Snake-Eyes' memory had four coffins. His mother, father and sister...but who was the fourth person? Of course, that could be a different funeral.
Also, Snake-Eyes was present at the fall of Siagon? We knew he served in 'Nam, but that's never been mentioned again.
Also, Cobra Commander apparently has no idea who Snake-Eyes really is, or he would've arranged much worse than the brainwave scanner. (of course the obvious answer is that the connection between the two was thought up much later).
I'd rate it 7/10.
