Inspector Gadget for SNES


Image: MobyGames

Inspector Gadget

Go go Gadget video game


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: Hudson Soft

Year: 1993

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Fievel goes West was good so this has to be ok, right? Turns out, it is! Responsive controls for the most part. Several special items including a bomb, helicopter, suction cup, arrow, and grappling arm. Items have unlimited ammo and have overly long animations so they're to be used strategically. Punch attack is for more practical use when attacking. Some pretty challenging platforming and boss fights


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Levels make great use of the special items. Plungers allow you to climb walls one step at a time. Helicopter lets you drift downward. Grappling hand let's you climb rings. Some areas are almost puzzle-like.


Theme Score: 5

Theme Notes:

Fun cutscenes between missions straight out of the cartoon where chief gives Gadget next mission before paper exploding in his face. Wonderful presentation


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Graphics remind me of Magical Quest. Very high quality, attractive art style. Backgrounds are fairly basic without much going on but otherwise a very nice looking, cartoony game.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Compliments the mood of the game very well.


Overall Score: 81

Review ID: 237
