I was having a reasonably bad day today, and what I thought would be a silver moment was the confirmation that RoboCop 2 for Nintendo NES was waiting for me at my post office.
What better way to left off some steam by killing thugs! I’ll make those virtual crooks pay! Yeah.. uh.. ok.
The game sucks. It doesn’t feel like RoboCop at all. He is disproportionate, glides when you let up off the controller and cannot retreat when necessary! That’s right, just like the Original Super Mario Bros. as the screen scrolls you cannot go back. Which forces you to repeat the stage if you missed an item.
The Hogan’s Alley-esq shooting gallery is unnecessary.
DataEast got RoboCop perfected with the arcade version… how they turned the Robo franchise to crap is beyond my understanding. I looked at the credits at MobyGames.com and it seemed the original version was created by Japanese producers where as this pant load was created by either the American or the English.
It’s simply awful.
