Image: MobyGames

Hook

Just like the SNES version, but with inferior graphics and sound


Genre: action - hack n slash

Publisher: Sony Imagesoft

Year: 1993

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Slow movement and animations but good sweeping attack radius Predictable enemy movement Overworld is nice to see how you've progressed


Level Design Score: 5

Level Design Notes:

Well thought out levels make use of the flying mechanic and the limitations of your movement


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Wonderful graphics but with muted colors. Thye took the SNES version and lowered the saturation until everything was colored orange. I was tempted to drop this all the way down to a 3 because it looks that badly compared to the SNES version, but the artwork is too good.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Another weakness compared to the SNES version. The soundtrack is a far cry from the symphonic SNES renditions and even the sound effects sound worse. It was to be expected, but still disappointing.


Overall Score: 73

Review ID: 975
