Wizard of Oz for SNES

Wizard of Oz

If Dorothy landed in Australia rather than Oz


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: Seta

Year: 1993

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

The game plays about as well as Home Alone but with twice as many enemies who swarm at you. Ammo is extremely limited and once you run out you're dead meat. Incredibly difficult. I made it to level 3 before getting overwhelmed by swarms of enemies. I dont think its possible to get through that gauntlet. Controls are bad. Super short jump makes it tough to avoid enemies


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Get to the right. Just a long corridor of enemies to avoid but at least you don't have to collect anything to finish a level


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Good movie, bad idea for a video game.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Ok spritework and background animation but with no frills. Platforms don't stand out.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

The music is pulled from the movie but it's all off-key like it's being played on a 20 key keyboard with no flats or sharps. Sounds don't fit the game, like taking a hit sounds like dropping a sack of flour


Overall Score: 22

Review ID: 694
