We’re back with another review, this time for the Sega CD action/RPG Heimdall. Ported from the popular computer formats of the time, Heimdall struggled to adapt to a controller-based gameplay scheme. It was passed over by many a gamer, so we went back and checked if they might have missed something. Did they? Methinks thou hast best read our full review to find out!
A lot has been done to ol’ Spidey these last few years. He’s been cloned, had two hit movies, and had a great run on recent consoles. He was pretty big on the Genesis too, with a string of releases that varied in quality. Among them was Spider-Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage, a beat-’em-up that was based on a major storyline of the time.
The ’90s saw some great cartoons, and among the best was Animaniacs, which made adults laugh just as hard as kids, with its pop culture references and subtle humor. Its huge sucess led to a ton of marketing, including video games. The Genesis platformer was a refreshing take on the genre and featured some great on-the-fly character swapping which was essential to passing each stage.
Upon its release, the Adventures of Batman & Robin for the Sega CD was lauded for its incredible use of scaling and its exclusive cartoon animation. These are all well and good, but how did the game itself play? Well, why not read our full review and find out?
Sega-16 would like to wish all its readers a happy new year, and we hope that 2007 will be bigger and more prosperous than ever for everyone. We all know that New Years Day kicks ass (except for the hangovers), and nothing says “ass kicking” like sumo wrestling. Wait…Did I just say sumo wrestling? On the Genesis? You better believe it!
