Image: MobyGames

Outlander

Mad Max meets Terminator 2 (the SNES game)


Genre: racing - vehicle combat

Publisher: Mindscape

Year: 1993

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

Literally 5 minutes of gameplay. You drive until you die from hitting barriers and bikers. Drive and use machine guns shoot l forward and a shotgun to shoot laterally out the side windows. Hit detection is dismal so good luck. Controls are awful. Making a turn is fine but if you coast your turning radius expands so you're likely to go off-road. If you run out of gas or stop you get out and play a Terminator 2 quality side scroller. That is to say, it is awful.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

I guess the road you're driving on is interesting as it has hills and hazards galore. But again you'll only see 5 minutes worth so there's no variety.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

There were so many Mad Max rip-offs! This one is as blatant as could be.


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Horrible performance. Super slow gameplay. It's a shame as the models and sprites are quite good.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Meh


Overall Score: 17

Review ID: 401
