Super Space Invaders Review by: Snowchu - 6.2/10
Game Gear - Super Space InvadersWoot, this will be my first review in the Sega Game Gear console. That also means I haven't played any games from that console, so this review COULD be a bit off, but I assure you, it won't be too far off to not be counted. Anyway, let's get on with the main article of the review!
Graphics - 6
I rated it an semi-high average, since from what I saw, it had decent graphics compared to other Sega Game Gear games. It was visually appealing, but it could've been improved in some sections, such as the background, etc. I've also noticed a glitch in this game, where the invaders would enlarge in size and back to normal without even doing anything, but it can be bypassed and ignored.
Sound - BLANK
As usual, this rating spot for sound is blank, since I'm a fully deaf person, and I cannot rate sound fairly for everyone, for obvious reasons stated here. However, there are other options. If you really wanted a rating for sound, you could just ask a friend who have already played the game. There are also reviewing sources for this game, such as IGN and several other sites.
Addictiveness - 4
I gave it a low rating of 4 because it simply wasn't addicting. Shoot, shoot, shoot. That's all you'd have to do to beat this game, but I do give it points for being a hard game, but that's a different story. I would think you'd be addicted for a brief moment, and become disinterested in it when you get a GAME OVER on the game.
Story - 4
Again, a 4 for this. I would've rated it lower, but since it is an arcade-based game, it's actually semi-decent for the storyline section for all the classic arcade games. You'd imagine yourself as a fighter to kill all the invaders, which is basically a short story, but you don't often see those kind of storylines nowadays.
Depth - 8
I gave it a high score of 8 because this game has a lot to do to beat it, as it is separated by chapters, or in other words, levels. Also, when you get a GAME OVER, you'll have to reset back to the start if you did not save. It sucks!
Difficulty - 9
I rated it a large number of nine because the difficulty of it is extreme, since you can get a GAME OVER very easily, by just taking a hit from the space invaders. Also, in the near-end, when there's only a couple of space invaders left, they start to speed up like crazy, and if there's one left, you might as well consider yourself dead already. It's that hard.
Okay, now that's all over, time for the overall rating! My overall rating of this game would be... a moderately good rating of 6.2! Naturally, I suggest you to try this game out to receive a first-hand experience to fully understand what I am talking about in this review. Anyway, have a great day and enjoy gaming!
