Slam City with Scottie Pippen for Sega CD
Review #12112
Slam City with Scottie Pippen
Shaq Fu is not the worst license basketball game
Gameplay
This is the entire scope of the gameplay:
DEFENSE = Randomly press buttons and d-pad
OFFENSE = Press A to shoot and hope it goes in
That's it. There's no depth, no reliability, no indicator of what will work or not work. This is a game of pure random chance and not skill. Avoid at all costs.
Level Design
It's a one-on-one hoops game against one of four opponents. Fingers, Juice, Mad Dog, and one other.
Each opponent gets their own CD, hence the 4 disc set!
There's no gameplay here, and therefore no variety in the "levels".
Theme
Why is Scotty Pippen's name on this? I don't remember him having a reputation as a street ball player. Gary Payton or John Stark or Dennis Rodman would've been a better choice. It's just your typical 90s street ball vibe with a steady stream of trash talk and cringe dialogue.
Art Style
The video quality is good, although it's letterboxed. Your player appears as a sprite in front of the video. This looks silly, like an FMV PunchOut.
Audio
The audio quality is good, but there's nothing worth hearing. Only a generic hip hop beat and a bunch of 90s cringe dialogue.
