Demolition Man for Sega CD
Review #12025
Demolition Man
Stallone puts his knitting skills to good use
Gameplay
Decent controls. Far less laggy that the SNES and Genesis original. I think those versions suffered from a lot of slowdown because this version plays much more smooth.
Very short jump so you're mostly grounded.
Uses a cover system where you duck and hide behind boxes. Can't just go guns blazing like Contra. But the top down levels are much faster.
Switches between side and top-down, like two games knitted together.
Practically no hit detection in side view levels.
Typical western stuff like endless spawning baddies
Enemies sometimes disappear instantly
Level Design
Ok levels. Nothing memorable or noteworthy
Theme
Silly setting but it's just a beefy guy shooting bad guys.
Follows the mediocre movie.
The cutscenes between stages speedrun you through the entire movie!
Art Style
Very dark and grainy. Hard to see details and enemies.
Jarring graphical differences between the side view (prerendered) vs top down (chibi). It's as if two game engines were smashed together.
Audio
Much improved sound over the cartridge versions. However, music is loud and obnoxious heavy metal which detracts from the setting. Tracks loop quickly and result in 3-5 seconds of utter silence before they begin replaying. It's jarring.
"Be Well"
