Road Runner's Death Valley Rally
Sonic, without any straightawaysGenre: action - platform
Publisher: Sunsoft
Year: 1992
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Sonic clone Jump, Dash, and Peck (attack) buttons. 40% draw distance isn't adequate for avoiding ANYTHING. Drops to 25% when going left, which happens often. Incredibly floaty controls. Perhaps the worst I've ever seen Short jump just tall enough to reach platforms. Eat bird seed to get Dash movement. Wiley Coyote pops out and damages you without warning so no way to avoid most attacks. Oh and he throws homing bullets at you which are nearly impossible to avoid as well. Bad hit detection
Level Design Score: 1
Level Design Notes:
Fun sense of speed when running full-speed. Unfortunately most of your time is hopping around like the underwater Sonic levels. Lots of platforms which are super hard to get and stay on. Levels doubleback and go vertical - two things this game engine does not do well. Horrible design given this game's constraints.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
I love the idea of running around as Roadrunner. Everything looks great and feels like the cartoons.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Simple artwork but very colorful and attractive.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Simple, two-channel musical tracks with bad composition. At least it doesn't loop until 2 min or so, I suppose.
Overall Score: 28
