Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl
Genre: sports - rugby
Publisher: RazorSoft
Year: 1993
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Super weird concept. This feel like a single minigame from Mario Party packaged as a full game. The objective is to punch your opponents, grab the ball and then run it all the way down to the end zone. You can pass but there's really no point since you only control one of the players on your team. So it's like NBA Jam where it doesn't switch between players. The only real challenge in the game is avoiding obstacles as you run towards the end zone. If you bounce into something, you drop the ball. So yeah, it's a very shallow concept, although I guess it might be fun to play multiplayer... for a few minutes anyway.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
This is a pickup and play game. There's no leak or playoffs or anything silly like that. It's just a game you jump into. The only options you have are the game speed which is normal or fast. The number of teammates on each team the length of the game and then I guess that's it.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
It's got this weird medieval theme where your knights or something in medieval Europe playing football. The presentation is fairly simple. After scoring it shows a little character like a pretty girl or a ugly bearded guy and that's pretty much it. What this has to do with an NFL coach I have no idea.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
The artwork is really bad but the animations of the characters them jumping in and punching each other and falling down and whatnot is. But again, the artwork itself is very poorly drawn and the background is just a flat boring green color.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
The audio kind of goes in and out the sounds of the players punching each other and yelling at each other is decent and consistent. But then the little fanfare that plays between scores is really faint. You can barely hear it
Overall Score: 29
