Slam City with Scottie Pippen for Sega CD

Slam City with Scottie Pippen

Shaq Fu is not the worst license basketball game


Genre: fmv - n/a

Publisher: Digital Pictures

Year: 1994

System: Sega CD


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

This is the entire scope of the gameplay: DEFENSE = Randomly press buttons and d-pad OFFENSE = Press A to shoot and hope it goes in That's it. There's no depth, no reliability, no indicator of what will work or not work. This is a game of pure random chance and not skill. Avoid at all costs.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

It's a one-on-one hoops game against one of four opponents. Fingers, Juice, Mad Dog, and one other. Each opponent gets their own CD, hence the 4 disc set! There's no gameplay here, and therefore no variety in the "levels".


Theme Score: 0

Theme Notes:

Why is Scotty Pippen's name on this? I don't remember him having a reputation as a street ball player. Gary Payton or John Stark or Dennis Rodman would've been a better choice. It's just your typical 90s street ball vibe with a steady stream of trash talk and cringe dialogue.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

The video quality is good, although it's letterboxed. Your player appears as a sprite in front of the video. This looks silly, like an FMV PunchOut.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

The audio quality is good, but there's nothing worth hearing. Only a generic hip hop beat and a bunch of 90s cringe dialogue.


Overall Score: 11

Review ID: 12112
