Space Harrier
Much better than the sequelGenre: shooter - corridor
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1989
System: TurboGrafx-16
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Framerate and gameplay are much better than the sequel on the Genesis. Still not great, mind you. There are fewer boss fights and the levels are super short. Far easier than the sequel as well. Ultimately just a boring game. Kind of a one trick pony. I'm sure it was impressive in 86 but not anymore.
Level Design Score: 1
Level Design Notes:
Levels are about 45 seconds long and composed of a handful of enemy waves that repeat. Some levels have a much of obstacles.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Art Style Score: 1
Art Style Notes:
Some of the worst artwork on the 4th generation. But the scaling and framerate are better than its sequel, so props for that I suppose.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
How much do you like Sega Master System music? At least it's recognizable as music, which is more than I can say for the sequel. Sounds effects and the voice samples are horrendous but the decidedly 8-bit music balances out the rating.
Overall Score: 36
