Product ReviewsVectorman (Sega Genesis, 1995)

Fun little gem of the SG library,

Great Genesis game. I was in love with this game when I was a kid, back in the golden days of the mid-nineties. This is a fun platformer set in a dystopian future where all biological life has been replaced with robotic analogs. You inhabit the protagonist, a strange robotic creature comprised of metallic balls who has the ability to shift into other forms under certain conditions. Very original idea and the artwork is pretty damn good considering that this is appearing on a 16-bit system. There are a few levels where they use a three dimensional view which is pretty advanced for the hardware. This game was developed towards the end of the Sega Genesis' lifespan and it shows off all the 16-bit splendor they could pack into a SG cartridge. Check it out if you ever see it for a reasonable price because this one is worth adding to the collection.Read full review...

Vectorman

This game is pretty good. The graphics were kind of like Sega's response to Donkey Kong Country, 3D with smooth animation. The visuals are amazing, but saying that isn't enough, I recommend watching a game play video to see how great they are. The soundtrack is also pretty good, just some nice techno beats that fit well with the mood of the game. This game is a very fun shoot-now-ask-questions-later kind of game. It's simple, smooth, and addictive. You can get upgrades very similar to Contra and cause even more destruction and explosions. The only downside is that it may seem a tad repetitive after awhile. This is definitely a game worth checking out.
Game play: 9/10
Sound: 8/10

Great Genesis Game

This is a great shooter/side scrolling/Platforming game. For the Genesis the graphics are quite good and was able to pull off early 3D backgrounds. The controls are great and the game play is even more addicting. It's music is pretty good to for the Genesis also. There are several different kinds of games plays in it. So the game has a good variety to it. Also different weapons to it also.
The story of the game is nothing too interesting but the game makes up for it. It takes place in the way future and the humans leave Earth as the robots clean up the trashed earth. That's about all they tell you.
I highly recommend this game cause I grew up with it and I still love it to this day.Read full review...

If you have a Genesis you have to own this game!

Vectorman, like Comix Zone, is a great example of what the Sega Genesis was capable of in terms of graphics and sound. You never really saw games like this before, especially on a home console. The controls are spot on making it all the more fun to play and not just look at. Be warned though, this is a hard game. Even on the easiest setting it can frustratingly difficult. But that makes it all the more satisfying when you beat it. If, however, you can't beat it use the code "c, a, left, left, a, c, a, b" and warp to the last level. Get it? Call a cab?Read full review...

great classic game

In 2049, the human population of Earth embarks on a migratory voyage to try to colonize other planets. They leave mechanical "orbots" to clean up the mess they made on Earth through littering and pollution. Raster, a high-level orbot who watches Earth through a planetwide computer network, is accidentally attached to a working nuclear missile by a lesser orbot and goes insane, becoming an evil dictator named Warhead. He declares himself ruler of Earth, and begins preparing to execute any humans who dare return to their planet.Read full review...

Excellent platformer/shooter

Top-notch shooter starring a green, robotic character. The stages are large and full of extra secrets, and yet they're never overwhelming or tedious. The action is very satisfying, thanks to perfect controls and many different forms that Vectorman can morph into. There are some neat bonus stages and bosses are a treat. The acm graphics really push the Genesis, and the techno soundtrack is impressive. Blue Sky made a great all-around game.Read full review...

An excellent addition to my Genesis collection

One of the most profound Sega Genesis titles I ever owned. With amazing pre-rendered visuals, for a game released 1 year before I was born. Awesome Run-N'-Gun style gameplay. Best of all, it came in Great condition. Overall it's a worthy pickup for my Genesis collection of games.Read full review...

Good game

Good platformer video-game. Fun to play. A little bit repetitive, but the power-ups and different levels compensate the repetitiveness of game-play.
