Platformer - Page 2 |
Running
Battle
Sega
Colourful,
flickerless sprites and a good concept are let down by the terrible
sl ooooowness of the thing. |
|
Shadow
Dancer
Sega
An
adequate rendition of the arcade smash, the graphics are a bit
on the flickery side, and the action is confined largely to
the end of level guardians, but fans of the original are unlikely
to be disappointed. |
|
Shadow
of the Beast
Tecmagik
A
visually stunning game that pushes the MS to the edge of the
envelope. The gameplay has been tweaked a tad for this outing,
but it still suffers from the same niggling lack of challenge
that marred all other versions. |
|
Sonic
Chaos
Sega
Easily
the best game of Sonic on the MS, this is what Sonic
2 should have been but wasn't. Far closer to the MD version
of Sonic 2 than the MS version was.
|
|
Sonic
the Hedgehog
Sega
The
spiky little forest animal that launched Sega as a world dominating
force in home consoles and successfully wrestled control of
the international videogame market away from their nemsis, Nintendo.
Cute graphics, challenges aplenty and super fast scrolling make
this a must for every collection. |
|
Sonic
the Hedgehog 2
Sega
They
did it again! Yet another thoroughly enjoyable outing with the
most inspired gaming mascot in the forest. |
|
Spiderman
Sega
An
incredibly monotonous game with a dodgy control method and lack
of any real story line, this game will disappoint Spidey's innumerable
fans while doing nothing to lift the genre. |
|
Star
Wars
US
Gold
Star
Wars licences are increasingly becoming hot property and the
cynical out there would call this just another attempt at revenue
raising; and they would be right. Frustrating controls, bland
graphics and disappointing levels relegate this to ranks of
the also-rans. |
|
Superman
Sega
Forget
Metropolis. This is more like Dullsville. Mediocre characterisation
and a decided lack of anything to really do conspire to place
this firmly in the rear behind almost any other game you could
name. |
|
Taz-Mania
Sega
If
you have played the MD version then you are sure to be disappointed
by this offering as much of what made that game great is missing.
However, if you haven't seen its larger cousin yet, then you
will probably get a kick out of this rather standard platform
affair. |
|
Teddy
Boy
Sega
An
older release but a lot of fun all the same. Multi-directional
platformer with a host of cute characters and bizarre enemies.
Great value for money. |
|
The
Terminator
Sega
A
challenging , if shallow, journey into the world of Jim Cameron's
future-Earth from the 1984 film that launched Arnie to prominence
and wealth. Guide Kyle reese through four levels of mind-nuking
action as he attempts to protect Sarah Connor from the cybernetic
clutches of the Terminator! |
|
Tom
& Jerry
Sega
An
absolutely beautiful game that unfortunately plays like trash. |
|
Wolfchild
Virgin
A
very staid old platformer: run around and collect hearts and
other such things. You'll be left thinking that you have seen
it all before, ad nauseam. |
|
Zillion
Sega
A
rip-off of Impossible Mission, but nowhere near as classy
as you run around and struggle with the hopelessly frustrating
control method. |
|
Zillion
II
Sega
Hard
to believe it, but this one is worse than the orginal. |
