In its worst moments, Secret Level makes you feel like you're voluntarily watching a commercial... The big reveal at the end essentially comes down to 'Video games are good!' - as if anyone who chooses to watch Secret Level needs to be convinced.
The result is, charitably, a mixed bag, focusing largely on lesser-known games and rarely offering more than a straightforward take (with one deeply insane exception in Secret Level's riff on Pac-Man).
This episode ends where it should have begun; inexplicably, the blue armor, the insanely catchy music, and pretty much everything else that's fun about Mega Man doesn't actually arrive until the closing moments.
Still, it's an interesting experiment, and one that, if successful with viewers, could beget future seasons that take the concept of a video-game adaptation in new and unexpected directions.
