Chuck Rock for Genesis
Review #4108
Chuck Rock
Joe & Mac: The Twilight Years
Gameplay
Primary attack is to thrust your pelvis at enemies and hit them with your belly. It's as satisfying as it sounds. Uggh
Can't bop
Very short jump makes it hard to avoid enemies
Controls are responsive but moves are so limiting that progress depends less on skill than on memorization and timing to attack enemies before they can launch an unavoidable attack
Level Design
Nice platforming sequences but that's pretty much all the levels have going for them. Just rinse and repeat with the same platforming and throwing rocks to use as portable platforms
Theme
Joe & Mac setting, although enemies are almost exclusively little critters. Much less threatening or appealing than something like Joe & Mac
Art Style
Amiga like graphics
Well drawn sprites and backgrounds but the hero is one of the ugliest, least attractive sprites of all time.
Audio
Best described as caveman sounds
Whoever did the sounds for this game watched a lot of Captain Caveman as a kid
Music is decent but tracks are very short and repeat often
