Lawnmower Man
Pierce Brosnan in VRGenre: fmv - n/a
Publisher: SCi
Year: 1994
System: Sega CD
Gameplay Score: 0
Gameplay Notes:
The game presents a series of 12 different minigames. Based on the walkthrough, there are 24 total stages per playthrough, with some of the minigames being repeated up to five times. Most amount to standard QTE segments, while others include games of Memory, spot the difference, and digital pachinko. In all cases, the interface may as well be a TV remote. It's more engaging than many FMV titles, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
As I mentioned the game is made of 24 stages. Most playthroughs are unique, as only some of the stages have multiple possible seeds. Most are always the same. The sheer variety is both a selling point and a reason to criticize this title. A game based exclusively on any one of the minigames would be atrocious, but when combined, they make for an disconnected and somewhat fascinating experience.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
Back in the 90s we had a strange idea of what VR and AI would be.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
The FMV is mostly full screen, but with all the 90's neon aesthetics, this game looks laughably ugly.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Poor sound quality
Overall Score: 21
