Sonic Spinball
Sonic slowdownGenre: arcade - pinball
Publisher: Sega
Year: 1993
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Feels like it's running at half speed. Controls are laggy You have control over the ball (Sonic) which makes it both easy and frustrating. Organized a bit like an adventure with different areas but I can't figure out where I'm trying to get to. Poor control over aiming a shot.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Boring and painfully repetitive boards. Each segment of the overall map is quite small so you see the same interactions over and over until you can finally escape to a new area.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
It's Sonic, but in a green sewer. Gross. I'm half expecting to see the Ninja Turtles in the green goo that fills this sewer
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
The sprites don't look quite right. Sonic looks fat and animates very poorly. Again you're in a sewer so it's not a pretty setting. Technical performance is abysmal. The entire game feels like the slowdown in Gradius III.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Not my cup of tea. Sound effects are the Genesis fart noise played over and over. Music is similarly unattractive, but not horribly composed. Doesn't hold a candle to other Sonic music tho
Overall Score: 40
