Last Action Hero
“Here, in this world, the bad guys can win!”Genre: action - punch n kick
Publisher: Sony Imgsft
Year: 1993
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 0
Gameplay Notes:
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 Score: 0
Level Design Notes:
Dunno, I can't beat the first level.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
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 Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
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 Score: 1
Audio Notes:
Horrible sound that repeats after 5 seconds. Terrible composition. Sounds are just oofs of guys getting hit. Horrible all around
Overall Score: 9
