Sunset Riders
Cut down version of the SNES classicGenre: action - gun
Publisher: Konami
Year: 1992
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Feels almost like a shmup with visible slow-moving bullets Feels less responsive than SNES version. Gun doesn't fire as quickly and button presses dont register sometimes.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Memorable set pieces like running on stampeding steers, although to feels more pedestrian here. Not as exciting. Distinctive biomes.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Silly wild west setting Simple level objective - arrest an outlaw Very non-PC. Get health by visiting the whore house and stereotypical native americans
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Much darker colors and simplifies graphics compared to the SNES version. Looks ok, but nothing like the excellence on SNES.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
Catchy tunes, but they sound far more tame than on SNES. Great example of how much better music sounds between the two systems. Good sound effects like gunshots, explosions, grunts but again, worse on Genesis. Horrible voice samples. Most have been removed.
Overall Score: 66
