Burning Force
G.I. Joe (arcade) meets Space HarrierGenre: shooter - corridor
Publisher: Namco
Year: 1990
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
Two levels grounded like the G.I. Joe arcade game followed by a level and boss fight flying around like Space Harrier. A few powerups like a wide shot, laser, and wave beam. Limited use missiles. Controls well. Down slows, up speeds up, and of course left and right move. Fun
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Simple levels. Again there's variety with two ground, one air, then one bonus level in each area.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Blue haired anime girl on a hoverbike.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Pretty simple even for an early release. Still it all scales well and it's almost nauseatingly colorful.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Simple music which only uses a couple of channels and a small set of sounds. Still it's well composed and matches the 70s anime style of the visuals. Sound effects are simple 80s video gamey sounds.
Overall Score: 71
Review ID: 808
