Cyberball
The worst robo sports game?Genre: sports - football
Publisher: Sega
Year: 1990
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
7v7 Madden style play selection. In fact the whole thing feels a bit like Madden. Gimmicks like exploding ball, fatigue, and players with robotic upgrades. Surprising depth in gameplay options. Actual movement is extremely unresponsive and frustrating.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Season only. No exhibition option!
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
Weird gimmicky sports title. Not quirky like the Mutant League titles. This one takes itself seriously like Base Wars.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
There are about 3 character models. They animate and move well but are ugly. The field is titled and it sits on a grey background. There's no crowd or sidelines. Feels like I'm playing electric football.
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
A weird song plays constantly and cannot be turned off. There's a bunch of voice samples at the start and end of plays that actually are decent quality. But they get old. They're like a robotic voice.
Overall Score: 27
Review ID: 854
