Bravoman (Wii Virtual Console release)

Graphics: 7/10


I'm not an incredibly avid TurboGraphix16 fan, so I can't tell you whether these graphics are better or worse than what the system was capable of. The graphics get the job done on the Wii Virtual Console, but there's nothing astounding, here. Backgrounds are entirely unnoteworthy.

Music and Sound: 2/10

I don't even remember any music. All I remember is a low-quality sound of Bravoman shouting "Bravo!" every time he moves. Ugh.

Gameplay: 6/10

It's an absurdly normal brawler/platformer type game. As Bravoman, you leap through levels and attack enemies. Some areas seem stupidly hard, while some seem like there should have been something more. The core gameplay isn't awful, but most of the actual play is.

Dialog and Story: 1/10

Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!


Controls: 7/10

The controls work well enough, but they feel sort of wonky on the sideways Wii remote. Perhaps I just need to play it on a different controller.

Closing Comments

The mechanics behind Bravoman are decent enough, but the levels are messed up, the audio is rotten, and the controls feel sloppy on the default Wii controller. Nothing significant sets this title apart from, say, a big piece of wood.

Rating: 5/10
