Ren and Stimpy Show Fire Dogs
Ren & Stimpy: a terrible one player Lost VikingsGenre: action - platform
Publisher: T*HQ
Year: 1994
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 0
Gameplay Notes:
Jump button and an interact button that allows you to pick up stuff. You have NO means of attacking until you find and pick up a fire extinguisher which stuns the fireman briefly. Objective is to collect 6 or 7 items and return them to the firetruck to complete level. However there's an oppressive time limit so good luck. A big fireman walks around and one-hit kills you. Climb stairs or fireman pole to move between levels in a roughly 5x2 screen. Horrible controls. Massive lag and eaten inputs. Very difficult to interact with stairs (imagine Castlevania stairs but you have to be on a pixel-perfect spot to go up and down them). Also very difficult to pick up items.
Level Design Score: 0
Level Design Notes:
If the fireman gets between you and the stairs you're toast. You can hit him and you can get past him. It's like playing Pac-Man but the layout of the board has no alternate routes - it's four straight lines connected in the middle by a single column. You have to hope the fireman is on a different level from you.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
Who would like this game? Ren & Stimpy fans will be disappointed because there's nothing gross or particularly R&S about it. Everyone else will be put off by the gameplay.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Massive improvement over R&S 1 or any other THQ game for that matter. Audio score
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Not terrible but nothing worth raving about either.
Overall Score: 11
