Tom & Jerry
Plays better than it looksGenre: action - platform
Publisher: Hi-Tech Exp
Year: 1992
System: SNES
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Buttons to jump, throw underhand, or throw overhand. Attack enemies by bopping (multiple times, generally) or hit with a thrown ball. Overhand throw has an upward arch so it's pretty useless. Enemies are also easy to avoid. Very easy game Slippery controls but minimal precision platforming makes them tolerable. Massive draw distance problems - maybe 40% going right but 30% going left Weird mechanic where you jump and immediately jump again to get a little more height. Why not just give me a double jump or let you jump a little higher if you hold down on the button. Looks and feels like a DOS platformer of the era.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Uninspired not too bad. Very simple and easy. Obviously made for small kids.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Everybody likes Tom & Jerry, right?
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
NES++ graphics Well-drawn sprite of Jerry, but very basic, two frame animation. Enemy sprites are poorly drawn, flat and side-on with minimal animation. Backgrounds are devoid of detail as well.
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
Simplistic, single channel music with annoying chirp sounds. Generic sound effects that don't sound like anything from the cartoon.
Overall Score: 54
