Superman for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

Superman


Genre: action - punch n kick

Publisher: Sunsoft

Year: 1992

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

All the standard dumb stuff - no hitboxes, bad hit detection, no i-frames, limited moves, etc. Movement feels ok but your attacks have limited range so the best strategy is to avoid conflict rather than attack. Has anyone ever made a Superman game where you feel powerful, like Superman?


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Standard Western trash. There are only four enemies who appear over and over as you walk...yes, walk across building tops. Uggh. So lame!


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

You're Superman. Who is your adversary? What are the stakes? What needs to be done? Who knows?


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

Simple artwork. Looks like an early gen title. Sprites are well drawn but small. Actually, many of them are flat and boring. Your sprite looks good but everything else is lame.


Audio Score: 0

Audio Notes:

I'd rather listen to a fire alarm than the music in this game. Yuck


Overall Score: 18

Review ID: 1294
