Ultraverse Prime
Discount SupermanGenre: action - beat em up
Publisher: Sony Imagesoft
Year: 1994
System: Sega CD
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Punch, kick and jump. Fast movement but no run. You can grab and throw but it happens inconsistently. It's actually terrible when it does because throws don't hit other enemies so holding an enemy leaves you vulnerable to all others. Small sprites. Good hit detection. 20% draw distance Worthless jump kick.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Typical fare. Nothing worth mentioning. Almost no environmental elements and small waves of enemies over and over again.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
90s comic book with steroid fueled heroes and enemies.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Small sprites are well drawn but have minimal animation. No slowdown. Has a Shumacher Gotham feel to it.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Elevator music. First scene sounds like a Christmas song, second is a hillbilly song, and third is a wind flute jazz song straight out of a film noir. There are virtually no sound effects, even as huge bosses bound around, Hulk smashing the ground, or when you pick up and throw a car. All you've got is the elevator music and the sound of your own attacks.
Overall Score: 53
