Wizard of Oz the game-Retro Review #1-SNES Review #1

When I heard about this game for the first time I was seriously surprised. I never thought a game based on wizard of Oz existed. Now remember how magical oz was the first time you saw if. A place like that must make for at least a decent game. But no this game is awful. It is one of the worst games I have ever played and I couldn't pick a better choice as my first review.  

Let's dig in to this pile of crap.

Story-The story is the same classic one as the movie just not explained as well. So if you know anything about Oz you know the story.

Gameplay-The level design isn't actually that bad. It's actually decent but the gameplay sucks. You have weapons but they are completely useless as they go in an arch they really don't hit many things. The best move pretty much is Dorothy's puny kick. Also I just wanna point out you move so slow. The worst thing about this game is that you fall through the platforms. Yes you fall through platforms. And it's not just with my cartridge from what I heard all copies of the game have this glitch. Wow. They didn't even test this game did they. 

I guess it is kinda cool how you get to also play as tin man, cowardly lion, and scarecrow as well as Dorothy , and all the character have different abilities and moves to which is cool, but since this is a platform game there are a lot of platforms(obviously) so you will fall through them. Now you may say I'm just missing them but no you can land right in the middle and fall through. And it happens all the time. 

I swear once I fell through solid ground. This makes the game almost unplayable. 

Also occasionally you'll find a bone. Don't touch it it'll take you to a stupid mini game with toto.

GamePlay Score-3/10

Sound-The soundtrack consist of awful remakes of classic tunes from the movie. It gets annoying fast.

Sound Score-3/10

Graphics-The graphics are decent. Not the best but it's still the best part of the game. It's colorful the models look nice and everything just looks good.

See everything is appealing to look at. 

Graphics Score-7/10

Enjoyment-Since enjoyment is the most essential part of any game I take this out of 20 point instead of 10. So even if this game has a major problem do I still enjoy it. Nope. This major problem of falling through platforms makes the game annoying, cheap, and unplayable. If this problem was fixed it would just be another average SNES game but no. The company just wanted to make a quick buck from this game and so didn't even try to fix this problem. Screw this game. I enjoyed different playable character but that's about it from this game.

Enjoyment Score-3/20

Final Score-I calculate the final score by taking all the previews scores from all the categories and adding them up. So the final score will be out of 50 point. I then give a grade. 

So with that said the final score is-16/50

Grade-32%    F

So yeah this game is awful. Don't play it. With that said though hope you enjoyed the review and hopefully the next game will be better.

Thanks :)
