Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Prior to recording this longplay, the only version of RoboCop Versus The Terminator I'd played/owned was the Sega Genesis. It's not a particularly innovative game, but the depiction of crumbling dystopia, giving way to eventual battles against Skynet and its army of endoskeleton nightmares, was good fun. I loved the graphical style, particularly the way enemies got blown apart in gory, pixelated chunks, was very cool.

Moving over to the Super NES, I'd expected the game to be the same. Given Nintendo's stance on violence and market positioning as being the family-friendly option, I'd expected the violence to be toned down compared to the Genesis, but I hadn't been expecting quite the number of changes as there are.

The levels between the two versions are broadly similar, and follow a similar arc, but Interplay, who handled development of this particular version, felt compelled to layer on some dull and pointless exposition through the use of comic book-style cutscenes. I get that the origins of the RoboCop and Terminator crossover stem from this medium, but I just found these sections dull, overly long, not to mention occasionally confusing.

To be honest, the gameplay isn't much better. From the level design to the enemies you face, everything feels dull and by-the-numbers. The game is competently programmed for sure, but at no point did I feel like I was having a good time. The SNES version shoehorns in a couple of first-person sections with some Mode 7 trickery, but again, it's devoid of any real fun.

I need to go back and play the Genesis version to make sure I'm not mis-remembering things, but having slogged my way through the drudgery of the SNES port, I'd still plump for the Sega version over this. Presentation, graphics and suchlike are perfectly decent, but this could have been so much better.
