Super Turrican 2

Gun and run and gun some more


Genre: action - gun

Publisher: Ocean

Year: 1995

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Can't shoot up Responsive controls but a big step behind Contra and Mega Man A Bionic Commando-style grappling hook that's much less functional


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Cool set pieces like fighting inside the mouth of a sandworm, jumping across missiles, hanging under a huge spaceship. But some are more cumbersome than fun. Hyperzone-style levels are novel but not good


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Nonsensical story Generic space guy shooting stuff Passable setting


Art Style Score: 5

Art Style Notes:

Great use of color Nice effects like parallax and interesting backgrounds, scaling and rotation Ugly pre-rendered cut scenes conflict with the impressive handdrawn sprites


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Sound effects are drowned out by music - too muted Annoying voice samples announce weapon pickups Nice music


Overall Score: 82

Review ID: 603
