Family Dog

What If? Sid from Toy Story owned a dog


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: Malibu

Year: 1992

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Standard license fare Dumb Gameplay amounts to avoiding environmental obstacles as you get to the right of the level. Horrendous controls - jump and bark which is completely useless. Just walk right. Walk is super slow so jumping is primary movement.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Three kinds of levels: 1. Walk to right 2. Run (jump repeatedly at consistent frequency) for a minute as sadistic kid chases you 3. Play fetch with stuff Sid throws to earn an extra life Completely uninspired stuff


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

You're a dog with a sadistic owner


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Actually not bad. Poor animation but nice sprites. Boring environments, no effects


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Same horrible track plays repeatedly Standard generic THQ sound effects


Overall Score: 27

Review ID: 171
