Rambo III for Genesis
Review #4466
Rambo III
Gameplay
Same issues as other would-be twin stick shooters. It's missing the second stick.
Still, there's a lot to like here.
You shoot straight when moving but you spread shoot back and forth when in a resting position. Very interesting.
Secondary weapons include an utterly useless knife, a bow, and a bomb you must plant right next to your target. All three are mostly useless and a massive missed opportunity.
One hit deaths.
Boss fight levels take an over the shoulder view. They're incredibly simple and easy. Just take five and poop out to shoot between the regular volleys of the enemy.
Responsive controls and good movement.
Level Design
Mostly just move to the right and up, clearing enemies as you go.
There's one indoor level where you find a hostage and escape.
All levels look the same. The generic middle eastern military base with tents and guard towers.
Theme
Rambo!
Art Style
Very simple graphics. Looks like an NES or TG16 title.
The same enemy sprite is used over and over.
All levels look the same.
No animation or effects.
Minimal slowdown.
Audio
Not terrible music but nothing you'll be humming later.
