Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends

THQ personified


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: Absolute Entertainment

Year: 1994

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

Absolutely horrible controls Must come to a complete stop before making an attack. Attack is a headbutt with a miniscule range. Can't attack while jumping so many enemies (birds) cannot be killed. All the bad marks a western dev has ever had - unreadable hud, floaty controls, poor hit detection, etc. etc.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

First level is a mountain climb with unintuitive mechanics such as hugging the mountain side and hopping up it, being careful not to move to the right else you don't regrab the side and instead fall to your death. Tiny platforms make progress nigh impossible due to super floaty controls Enemies can't be avoided.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Ok I guess? The cartoon was funny so, whatever.


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

Nice colors and large sprites but NES quality animation True to the show, but terrible execution overall


Audio Score: 0

Audio Notes:

Horrendous. Bad. Terrible music Sounds are horns and honks instead of beeps and boops. Might be true to the show but not fun to listen to while you play. Sound is even worse than the SNES version.


Overall Score: 10

Review ID: 727
