Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday for SNES
Review #428
Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday
Abbity abbity, that's all folks
Gameplay
One button gameplay although there's a throw button which only works occasionally and doesn't have any practical use. Just jump on or over enemies.
Enemies have predictable patterns, good hud, decent controls.
Floaty controls and no run button make for slow movement, but much better than most licensed games.
Short jump but enemies are small and have good hit boxes so its OK.
Level Design
Mostly ok but some paths lead to literal dead ends.
There's a lengthy rotating column ala Ghouls n Ghost in the first level.
Level 2 is a long maze
Theme
Porky isnt the most exciting character in the Looney Tunes roster. He's a fat pig.
Oh and the plot is that Porky is having a nightmare. So yeah, the stakes aren't exactly high.
Not the lighthearted game you'd expect. Its basically a survival horror starring Porky.
Art Style
Weird enemies. Many appear in all levels despite the levels having drastically different themes. For example, a leprechaun who splits into two little leprechauns when hopped appear in the Haunted Forest and the Wild West levels.
Great animation and artwork.
Nifty 3D effects on rotating chains and the rotating column. Nice lighting and foreground effects like rain.
Audio
Very poor quality voice samples
Music and effects sound washed out, like they're distant from where you stand.
Incredibly repetitive music gets old real quick, especially the level 2 theme.
