Demolition Man
Stallone puts his knitting skills to good useGenre: action - gun
Publisher: Acclaim
Year: 1995
System: Sega CD
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Decent controls. Far less laggy that the SNES and Genesis original. I think those versions suffered from a lot of slowdown because this version plays much more smooth. Very short jump so you're mostly grounded. Uses a cover system where you duck and hide behind boxes. Can't just go guns blazing like Contra. But the top down levels are much faster. Switches between side and top-down, like two games knitted together. Practically no hit detection in side view levels. Typical western stuff like endless spawning baddies Enemies sometimes disappear instantly
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Ok levels. Nothing memorable or noteworthy
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Silly setting but it's just a beefy guy shooting bad guys. Follows the mediocre movie. The cutscenes between stages speedrun you through the entire movie!
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Very dark and grainy. Hard to see details and enemies. Jarring graphical differences between the side view (prerendered) vs top down (chibi). It's as if two game engines were smashed together.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Much improved sound over the cartridge versions. However, music is loud and obnoxious heavy metal which detracts from the setting. Tracks loop quickly and result in 3-5 seconds of utter silence before they begin replaying. It's jarring. "Be Well"
Overall Score: 57
