Super Albatross
Look it up, all albatrosses are superGenre: sports - golf
Publisher: Telenet Japan
Year: 1989
System: PCE CD
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Weird power mechanic. You press and hold II and let go to select the power, but it's a really tight window and difficult to get just right, especially when putting. And the only indicator oyu've got is a tiny sprite who animates poorly. There's no guage to help you see the power level. Also, choosing the direction is done via a free moving cursor instead of a directional arrow. This allows for more refinement in the direction, but is also more cumbersome. Everything else is ok.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
The menus are all in Japanese so it's hard to tell what all the modes are. I think it's got the standard modes but it's hard to navigate and select the mode you want.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
The Japanese text is a bummer. Besides that you've got a girl directing you on the menu, so it's a unique UI.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Looks cheap. Colors are muted and darker than other PCE golf titles. Something about it feels off. Poor animation and scrolling.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Music isn't mmy favorite, but it's ok. I like the sound effects.
Overall Score: 57
