After
a team of vigilantes kills your wife on your wedding day, you swear vengeance...and
then go out and get a really cool car....so you can kill them all!!! Kinda
hokey...yes. Executed awesomely...fuck yeah. What's it all about? Think of it as Dragon's Lair, but cooler...and with more cars.... |

Graphics - Well, it's anime-style art, so it looks really good. Surprisingly, not too grainy, though not full screen either. Wolf Team did a very good job of converting the animation to something the Sega CD could adequately handle. | |||||||
Sound - The music/sound effects are all mixed in with the video, so they sound near redbook quality. Good stuff! | |||||||
Control - Well, you either hit the direction/button fast enough or you don't...simple as that. There are no real control issues here...but then again, there's no real control either... | |||||||
AI - Pretty much not applicable here. I will say, though, that the last level gets real hard, real fast...but it's not really cheap....things just happen insanely fast. | |||||||
Replay value - Low. You'll probably play it once all the way through, after that, you'll just be using the Auto Play code. | |||||||
Tips
for better gaming experiences: If you'd rather watch the game than play it, try the Auto Play code: At the Start screen: Press UP to highlight Options. Press Start to enter. At the options screen press: A fives times, and B once. You should hear a noise. Go back to the start menu, start the game, sit back and relax. Quick Note: Set the game on Hard to remove the movement indicators. |

My rating: 60(game)/90(movie)(out of 100) - Ok, this is going to be a weird one. As a game....well, it's not really a game...but it tries to be...and it really doesn't live up to anything other than a memorization/reflex test. Now, on the other hand, as an anime movie, it rocks. Loads of style, lots of action and a decent amount of twisted humor make this a disc you'll be watching more than playing... | |||||||

Cat's review: A game? This is supposed to be a game!? It's a really cool anime...but as a game, it sucks ass. Just a quick hint for Renovation - A game should actually offer *gameplay*. |

Saturn
Avenger : Road Avenger was re-released, along with Cobra Command, as a double pack for the Saturn(in Japan). They both sported much nicer FMV and a full screen image. |
