World Heroes for SNES
Review #701
World Heroes
Street Fighter On Ice
Gameplay
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.
The lowest difficulty setting is painfully low. But I appreciate there actually being different levels.
Movement is horrible - you slide around like that level in SMB2. The entire game is like playing an ice level.
Jumping sends you all the way across the screen so you can't really do a jump-in combo attack.
Severe slowdown makes the game nearly unplayable
Can't execute a special move without sliding in the direction you're pressing so you wind up moving into an enemy's attack. Super frustrating
Level Design
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
Bonkers sci fi setting including elements of aliens and time travel in the far flung future. Weird but fun
Art Style
Looks good. I like the cartoony artwork.
Sprites are large and chunky.
Character models are interesting
Animation is not great although it might just be the pervasive slowdown
Audio
It's alright
