James "Buster" Douglas Knock Out Boxing

Somebody missed legs day


Genre: fighting - boxing

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1990

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Played from the side like a fighting game. The ultimate button masher. There are a few moves like the ability to jump backward but honestly you just have to hold right and jam on A until the other guy goes down. I guess it's technically responsive so I'll throw it a bone.


Level Design Score: 0

Level Design Notes:

Just exhibition


Theme Score: 0

Theme Notes:

I don't know much about boxing but I do know that Buster Douglas is the worst champion of all time. Not much else to say.


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

Everything is a shade of brown or black. Sprites are huge but hilariously poorly drawn. They're huge up top but down below they have chicken legs. They're also palette swaps so there's only the one sprite. The background is horribly undetailed.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Hilariously bad sound effects. Someone bought a bag of generic video game sounds and randomly assigned them to the four sound trigger events. Music is arcadey and lively.


Overall Score: 14

Review ID: 988
