Tin Star
Support Your Local Robot Sheriff!Genre: shooter - gallery
Publisher: Nintendo
Year: 1994
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Not a Super Scope game - it's a controller or mouse-controlled game, which is a plus to be honest. Enemies appear and shoot very quickly so you've got to be quick. The focus is on achieving a high score rather than surviving an onslaught like in Operation Thunderbolt. I appreciate the slower and more manageable pace. Controls are solid and hit detection is very good. There's not much to it...like all games in this genre, but it's fun.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Most levels have a unique perspective where your player is on screen jumping around and you're directing where he shoots. Other levels use a standard first-person view with the camera scanning left and right. Some levels even use have you doing a quick draw from first person view where you shoot an icon and then quickly go shoot the opponent. There's variety anyway.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Very silly setting where a chisel-jawed gunslinger rolls into town to become the new mayor of a Wild West town. Think Blazing Saddles or Support Your Local Sheriff. All characters are robots and the dialogue is dripping with humor.
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Wonderful spritework. The animation alone is reason enough to play this game.
