Waterworld

Moby ID: 23006

SNES version

A decent movie based game from Ocean.

The Good
Waterworld SNES is a game based on the 1995 film of the same name, Starring Kevin Costner. The film itself is imfamous for it's gigantic budget, and although it was financially successful upon released, it disappointed critics.

The gameplay has some variety, consisting of 4 level sections.

1: You manouever the Trimaran, and must shoot down all the Smokers in the playing field.

2: You play as the Marnier, and must swim around underwater collecting treasures and soil, in exchange for credits.

3: Same as 1, except you are now near an atoll and must prevent the smokers from kidnapping the atollers. You get credits for every hostage you save, and every atoller left.

4: A third person shooter, with the same premise: you must eliminate all the smokers.

The graphics in this game are decent, with the characters and the Trimaran well animated. The underwater scenes are very well rendered. The sound effects do their job and nothing else, whilst the music is worth listening to.

The Bad
There is not much to dislike about the game, except for the fact that the gameplay can become monotonous. Fortunately there is a password system implemented in the game.

The Bottom Line
In short, this is a fairly decent game, worth checking out.
