Totally not Indiana JonesGenre: action - hack n slash
Publisher: Wolf Team
Year: 1991
System: MD CD
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Plays just like the Genesis version - horribly. The ragdoll physics and weird movement tech makes gameplay feel like Getting Over it With Bennett Foddy or Surgery Simulator. Your main form of attack is to wave your bullwhip around like it's on fire. It works alright but looks as dumb as it sounds. Enemies have no hitbox and you get no knockback or i-frames so if you get inside them they tank you in a matter of seconds. Pervasive slowdown, just lke the Genesis version.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
The levels aren't terrible. Typical platform stuff but enemies are the key thing to worry about. Reminds me of Super Star Wars or Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
Indiana Jones rip-off. The first level is a straight up copy of the opening scene from Raiders, right down to the stone chase at the end.
Art Style Score: 1
Art Style Notes:
Horrible slowdown and animation. All sprites have an unnatural, segmented and articulated look about them. My wife said they look like skeletons. Truly horrific artwork
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
Massive improvement from the sad Genesis version. The music here is epic and beautiful. The sound effects are marginally better than the Genesis, but nothing to get excited about.
Overall Score: 31
