Hello,

this is going to be my review for "Buck Rogers - Countdown to Doomsday" on the Sega mega drive.
Forgive me my writing, I'm German and not used to write in English since I left school. My grammar's bad sometimes, but I do this because this game was one of the best games I ever played on this console.

I purchased this game among with the megadrive in 2002, so it yet was a retro-game at this time. It's funny, because I first recognized it as a good one after playing it a second time (it's very hard, so I quited it one time, cause it turned me off).

It first appears as a quite usual rpg. You can make a team of different races, genders and professions. You walk through dungeon-like space-stations and forsaken spaceships and encounter enemies. But after you played a few hours, you may discover some nice features you didn't expect. For example the opportunity to travel through the orbit from planet to planet. Or the opportunity to battle against RAM-space carriers, etc. ... or even the opportunity to board those enemy ships and walk through them like through dungeons and fight enemy-groups the usual way.
You see, this game offers hours and hours of gameplay.

Graphics:
At this point, this game is not really comparable with the most other rpg-titles on this system. The areas you're walking through have low graphics. The battles also (though there's a nice feature: the battle-screen area is always a miniature of the area, where you encountered the fight). Dialogue-pictures and the spacefight-graphics are good megadrive-standard, some of them are really nice pixel-artworks
I give this game a 6 on this point.

Sound:
Well yeah, the music's a bit odd. I do some music myself and I find nothing special on it. Best example is the battle-theme, which seems to be build out of 2 different sounds (not even notes!). The sound-effects are pretty cool and funny. That makes me giving "Buck Rogers - CtD" a fair 4.

Addictiveness:
My first intention was to give a 4 at this point too, but then I decide to raise it to a 6. I remembered myself of the hype I felt, as I discovered the boarding-mode in space-battles It's hard to get into this game, but once you're into it, it CAN be addictive.

Story:
For a game of this time, it deserves a 9 in story. The makers of the game tried to excuse the low graphics with pretty cool descriptions of the spaceships, -stations, people, etc. It needed my whole knowledge of the English language to understand the interesting story. And I mean I'm really no science-fiction fan!

Depth:
You can travel the planets earth, mars, Venus, mercury, the moon, many asteroid-fields, space-stations and every (!) hostile ship you encounter. The character-level up system is quite complex. Many shops offer you different types of weapons, armory and accessories which are divided in where they come from (mars-laser, mercurian-armour etc.). 8, because there aren't much experience-levels, you can reach.

Difficulty:
8.
This game can be unfair!

Overall:
7,6


Yo, i hope u had fun reading my review and don't rate it too bad
I hope I could raise your interest for this game, because I had a lot of fun with it.

I do not really like this game all that much but it is ok. I have played it once or twice and I just found it a little hard to actually get into the game as a whole. I do like the style though.

I have not personally played that many games on the Sega Genesis, but after reading your post, I might try this game out. I personally think that you did great English for someone who learned English in school 5-6 years ago.

I think that was an awesome review, I hope to see more like it.

I played this game a long time ago and pretty much forgot about it until reading this review. It's weird how reading this triggered that memory.

It looks pretty uh, strange to say the least.

Good review.
