Smurfs
The most pointless CD portGenre: action - platform
Publisher: Infogrames
Year: 1994
System: MD CD PAL
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
No change from the cartridge version. Plays much better than the SNES version, which I played first. Still bad, but more playable. All the Westerm hallmarks. Slow movement, horrible hitboxes, inconsistent means of attacking enemies. I'm fact only a couple of enemies can be killed by bopping. Most can't be dealt with at all. Also a 40% draw distance.
Level Design Score: 1
Level Design Notes:
Plays to all of the gameplay's deficiencies. Precision platforming is required everywhere. Perfect jumps are required to cross gaps, climb a tree in stage two, ride birds in stage three, and avoid enemy attacks. Very difficulty as a result. Puddles don't kill you like they did in the SNES version. Instead it makes you slip, which makes more sense.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Smurfs. Tiny bit of nostalgia but not cool enough to care. Play as a generic Smurf
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Nice sprites. Flat backgrounds but decent artwork. Darker colors but better performance.
Audio Score: 3

Overall Score: 40
