Mike Ditka Power Football for Genesis
Review #4356
Mike Ditka Power Football
Turn based football
Gameplay
Has the weirdest throwing mechanic I've seen in a football game. Pressing a stops the play and lets you cycle through the open receivers and pick which one you want. Press B or C to unstop the play and you'll throw to the guy you selected. You can take as long as you want on the selection screen which just feels wrong.
You go down at the slightest bit of contact so running plays really don't work.
Movement is okay but lateral speed is very slow so unless you can go straight up you won't get any yardage.
Level Design
Exhibition and playoffs mode only
Theme
No NFL but all 28 teams
Art Style
Looks like an Atari arcade game with solid colors and some decent animation. However, the animation on screen doesn't match what happens so often a receiver will catch the ball but it will look like it bounces off the ground.
Audio
There's a really dumb song that repeats every 5 seconds that you can thankfully turn off. Sound effects aren't too bad, but again don't match up with the action on screen. They're delayed by a second or two.
