Bishin Densetsu Zoku
Mad Max meets Mean GirlsGenre: action - beat em up
Publisher: Magifact
Year: 1993
System: SFC
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Similar to Outlander - drive around an area bumping into other cars and motorcycles - and when you take top much damage you exit your car to brawl on the streets, Final Fight style. The driving sections are boring - you have no offensive capabilities and can't avoid enemies. Plays like F-Zero but with clunky movement. The brawler sections are equally bad. You can't change the direction you face. Instead, the game turns you automatically which is beyond annoying when enemies surround you. You have two kinds of kicks which are virtually identical, and a jump kick which never lands. Atrocious hit detection.
Level Design Score: 0
Level Design Notes:
Horrible design. You drive through a labyrinth of roadways with no signs, markers, or directions of any kind. The map is minimal at best and your objective is never clear. There's also a time limit to make it even more maddening. The brawler sections are far more interesting. Than the driving sections, but because of the timer you're supposed to avoid them at all costs.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
You're fighting against an all-female bikers game straight out of Mad Max in Thunderdome. The game tries to be cinematic, with long cutscenes and showing the title card after completing the first level.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Everything seems small. Small sprites, short animations, etc. The artwork is well drawn, but not impressive.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Music is straight out of a campy western. Doesn't fit the theme at all! It's nott terrible, but definitely below average.
Overall Score: 22
