Publisher: Sony Imagesoft
Year: 1994
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Horribly imprecise controls. No control in the air after jumping. Very difficult platforming. Long animation when attacking. Attack has much shorter reach than enemies. Bad hit detection Slow movement. You even have a noticeable limp.
Level Design Score: 0
Level Design Notes:
Most linear level design but very confusing moving platforms. The seem to be triggered by pulling ropes but I'm the first level I came to an area with 5 ropes but none do anything to move the polarity blocking my way. Stupid design with zero indicators for what to do.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
Movie tie in.
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Gray, brown, and gray. And some brown. Incredibly ugly. Sprites are ugly but well drawn I suppose. The devs were limited by the source material which is hideous.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
The one song I heard in the first level was pretty upbeat and cool. The sounds are nothing to get excited about tho
Overall Score: 19
