Last Action Hero for SNES
Review #286
Last Action Hero
“Here, in this world, the bad guys can win!”
Gameplay
Enemies take way too many hits. They have a much longer reach than you do the only way to hit them is with perfect timing. Guys with a knife take 4 kicks and the bats take 7 punches. This is annoying but doable when you take in a bad guy but when two or three show up together it becomes nearly impossible.
Die and respawn at the start of the level. Uggh. I can't beat the first stage.
Can't attack while jumping.
Stupid restrictive time limits only add to the insane difficulty.
Attack animations are insanely long.
Level Design
Dunno, I can't beat the first level.
Theme
I remember when this film came out. It was a meme before memes were a thing. It's like the Never-ending Story but with Schwarzenegger playing the part of... Uhh maybe that's not a good comparison. It's a dumb concept.
As it is the theme is just a brawler.
Art Style
Ok the background look amazing due to some clever parallax scrolling. The 3D effect it creates is quite good. I really wish I could see some more levels. The sprites on the other hand look unbelievably bad. It's that really supposed to be Arnold?! It looks like his True Lies costar Tom Arnold.
Audio
Horrible sound that repeats after 5 seconds. Terrible composition.
Sounds are just oofs of guys getting hit. Horrible all around
