Lethal Enforcers
Hogan's Alley sequel / Time Crisis prequelGenre: shooter - gallery
Publisher: Konami
Year: 1993
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
The key to this game's success is the generous hitboxes of enemies. The gameplay itself is as simple as could be - shoot enemies and don't hit innocent bystanders. Oh and shoot the bad guys quickly before they can get off their shot. It's incredibly simple and as a result has almost no replayability but it'll hold your interest for 20 minutes. The reload mechanic is surprisingly fun and give the game some much-needed depth. It's something to do anyway. Reminds me of the much-better Time Crisis games that came a few years later. I remember loving that game.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Simple scroll-to-the-right gameplay. Enemies pop up or roll into the frame in consistent spots so memorize the level and you can win every time. The lack of randomness is the game's greatest weakness.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
You're Dirty Harry. Pretty simple premise.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Digitized sprites are very ugly but animate better than similar games. Graphics use washed out colors.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Awesome Konami arcade sounds. Music is ok but forgettable.
Overall Score: 54
