Hono no Toukyuuji - Dodge Danpei

Dodgeball the Movie. Not that movie.


Genre: sports - dodgeball

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1992

System: MD


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Plays just like the Great Dodge Ball games but with much improved controls. Catching and targeting are as unpredictable as ever but the game moves and plays so much more smoothly. Matches are very short since you only need to get 7 total hits instead of whittling down the HP of each player. There are seemingly infinite continues as the match just restarts if you lose.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Cosmetic changes in the arenas. It's easier to jump into a match than the Super Famicom version.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Super long anime cutscenes between every match. Way more time spent watching these than actually playing.


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Anime style with a red spiky haired protagonist. Sprites are much smaller than the SFC version. Different look but still good, just not as good.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Disappointing for a Sunsoft game. Not terrible, of course, but pretty generic music.


Overall Score: 64

Review ID: 6029
