Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 16: Piko Interactive Collection 2
Eesh. I had this game back on the Amiga and I always wondered if it would play better on a console with more than one fire button. Answer is... No. In fact its actually worse here than on the Amiga.
It plays like absolute arse. Its basically bad Ocean platformer design at its very worst with chunky level designs, enemies that run at you quick from offscreen, boring looping music, collectables strewn across the level like troll dolls in a 90s kids bedroom and a terrible control setup with the football attacks whiffing and sailing over enemies heads 9/10 times. Trust me, any actual hits on enemies is completely unintentional.
Sure theres some decent enough sprite art that manages to 'just' make this game dodge a 0.5/5 but its not like 1/5 is anything to talk about either. If you absolutely need to try this game, please just pick up the Amiga original. I mean the Amiga original still isnt that great but its sure better than this mess of a SNES port.
