If you're a fan of MJ and love sega genesis, this is an excellent buy.  The game overall is pretty fun, but can get repetitive at times with all the doors you have to open and close, and children to rescue.  Some see this game as a metaphor for MJ's wackyness, and others see it as just a fun video game.  My opinion is that you should go with the second option because it's a great game to add to anyone's genesis collection or for a MJ fan.
