World Heroes for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

World Heroes

The worst Neo Geo port


Genre: fighting - 1v1

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1994

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

SF2 clone right down to having an analog for Ryu (Hanzo) and Ken (Fuuma) Simplified controls give you only a punch, kick, and throw button although you can double the buttons in the options. Movement is horrible, but for a different reason than the SNES game. In that one you slide around like the you're on ice. In this one the game is running at a few frames per second so you're moving at half speed. This makes hit detection awful and the gameplay completely absent.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

I was going to praise it for having arenas with side walls that deal damage but after a few fights I realized that there are only two arenas - a boxing ring and a cage with the side wall. It was novel but now I'm bored with the arenas. Story and versus modes


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Bonkers sci fi setting including elements of aliens and time travel in the far flung future. Weird but fun


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

Looks good. I like the cartoony artwork. Sprites are large and chunky. Character models are interesting Animation is horrible and the framerate is unacceptable. Despite the great artwork I have to knock it down here.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

It's alright


Overall Score: 31

Review ID: 1403
