Sports Illustrated Championship Football & Baseball

Two turds for the price of one


Genre: sports - football

Publisher: Malibu

Year: 1994

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

FOOTBALL uses isometric view which makes me think of NES Play Action Football. Not a good thing. Your players all execute the play without you doing anything. If you touch the d-pad they stop but otherwise are a self driving car. Controls are so laggy that it's best to just let them do their thing. Lots of plays to choose from. Passing is almost comical since you can only see one player in the PIP window, regardless of how many receivers you've got. Runs at 5 FPS BASEBALL The slowest game of baseball ever. You could make a sandwich in the time it takes the ball to get to the plate. Hitting the ball is a chore as you may send to be half length. You have to crowd the plate to reach the ball and the hit zone is tiny. The ball rarely leaves the infield and I've never seen the outfield wall. I assume it's out there somewhere. The football sim is much better than the baseball side of things


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

FOOTBALL Barest of bones in terms of play modes. Exhibition and Season but no stats keeping


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Generic. No NFL or MLB license No personality other than Gifs that play after scoring plays in football. Incredibly boring games of both sports


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Has a dirty, Genesis style of art. Very pixelated graphics and very brown, flat artwork


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Just white noise in both sports. Almost devoid of any other sounds. No personality whatsoever


Overall Score: 32

Review ID: 524
