Biometal for SNES


Image: MobyGames

Biometal

Puts the Hell in Bullet Hell


Genre: shooter - horizontal

Publisher: Activision

Year: 1993

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Unbearable difficult, even on Easy. There's bullet hell and then there's a screen full of fast moving bullets moving in random patterns. Guess which one this game has? Very simple power up system with only three kinds of guns and three kinds of missiles. Very basic stuff.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

The levels look great but the waves of enemies are too long which adds to the difficulty. Again, sub par


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Typical space shmup with a pretty cool looking ship. Presentation is fine but nothing special


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Impressive visuals with tons of parallax scrolling and transparency. Looks a bit like Thunder Force. Somewhat busy backgrounds Noticable slowdown Uninteresting sprites drag down the otherwise good graphics


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Inexplicably the only song in this game is that Jock Jam song that plays at every sporting event "Y'all Ready For This?" So weird Slowdown heavily affects the music making it even more annoying


Overall Score: 41

Review ID: 64
