S.S. Lucifer: Man Overboard!

Sink


Genre: puzzle - platform

Publisher: Codemasters

Year: 1994

System: MD PAL


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Plays just like the SNES version, but with more responsive controls.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Some of the same levels as the SNES version, but a much improved learning curve. I got further into this game and didn't get stuck.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

You're a scuba guy. Actually you're Scuba Steve from Big Daddy and you ride in a yellow submarine, like The Beatles. Your job is to rescue idiots on a sinking cruise ship, ala The Poseidon Adventure. So yeah, there are a whole bunch of very dated pop culture references in this one. Oh and you look like Leisure Suit Larry. Oy


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Typical Amiga-looking graphics. Everything is way too busy with a bunch of unnecessary animation. Hard to distinguish platforms and hazards and items to interact with. The artwork itself is wall drawn but unattractive.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

I liked the music. There seems to be a good variety of tracks with interesting composition. The sounds are thoroughly unimpressive.


Overall Score: 59

Review ID: 6831
