Ghouls 'n Ghosts
The one where you can shoot upGenre: action - hack n slash
Publisher: Sega
Year: 1989
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Stiff controls which are the hallmark of this series. You can shoot upward. Yay
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Design is simple but there are still lots of memorable moments and set pieces. The enemy placement feels extreemly cheap here, even more so than in other G&G games. Still good but requires memorization more than reaction.
Theme Score: 5
Theme Notes:
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Black background. Love the enemy designs but poor animation and effects take away from the experience. I know it's a product of its time but Super G&G released only a couple of years later and looks lightyears ahead of this title.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Same here. The music and sound effects are severely constrained by the technology. All I can think of is the soundtrack from SG&G and wish that I was listening to it instead of this.
Overall Score: 67
