Revolution X
Aerosmith wanted to star in a good game? Dream On guysGenre: shooter - gallery
Publisher: Acclaim
Year: 1995
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
The cursor is way too fast. Helps you get it quickly side to side but super difficult to make small adjustments. There's only one enemy. Absolutely no variety in who you're shooting at. Boring. Are my shots causing damage? Am I taking damage? Who knows.
Level Design Score: 1
Level Design Notes:
Boring scan to the right or left. There are a couple of points where you can choose a branching path but this is actually annoying since you have to shoot an arrow to make a selection which deters you from shooting the bad guys. The levels themselves are uninteresting. Nothing memorable.
Theme Score: 0
Theme Notes:
Uggh. Unless you're really into butt rock this game will not appeal to you. You can guess how I feel on the subject.
Art Style Score: 0
Art Style Notes:
Horrendous. Terrible. Ugly. Unpleasant. Am I making myself clear? The digitized/prerendered sprites are unbelievably ugly and have almost no frames of animation. As previously mentioned there is only one enemy sprite that is repeatedly used.
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
Music is the weapon, or so they say. In this case I say it's an all-out assault on the ears. All you can hear is the music track that plays on repeat. There are pretty much no sounds and what is there is drowned out by the loud music. And again, I hate butt rock so I was not rocking out to Aerosmith's soundtrack. I award a single point for the very high quality of the voice samples. Technically impressive, but horribly obnoxious.
Overall Score: 17
