Gameplay

Twin-stick layout on SNES controller works to perfection
First killer app for the 4 button layout
All enemy patterns are fair and understandable
Two player co-op makes this game a hoot
Powerups are perfect, including weapons, shield, and tons of loot

4 / 5

Level Design

Room-based design gives a moment of rest and clear objective
Branching paths add replayability
Level select would be nice since it is kind of a one-trick pony - all rooms look the same

4 / 5

Theme

Running Man setting is pretty great
M.C. is immensely quotable and memorable
Worst virtual boobs of all time

3 / 5

Art Style

Graphics are simple but nice

4 / 5

Audio

Music is upbeat and catchy
Sounds are great with digitized voice samples, shooting sounds, and grunts when you die. Good stuff
