The PC version of CT has a lot of issues: And that also goes for all other versions of CT when compared to the SNES version. Tomorrow: The SNES version of Dragon’s Lair is an action game and not an FMV game like in the arcades.Hands-down, the SNES version. It’s not a good game by any means, though. It would have been easy for Ocean Software to shove out Cool World as a standard movie-to-game platformer, but instead, they made a weird platformer that secretly wants to be an adventure game. It only happens once in the video, but it’s embarrassing how many times I was arrested by the little tiny policemen trying to get into the nightclub because my character wouldn’t do what I needed him to do. If you watch the video, count the several times I intend to jump but instead punch the air instead. And why is jump on Y? I can’t think of any game other than Cool World with jump on that button. There are a few instant-kill enemies, and dodging them or fighting them is inconsistent. And the soundtrack is good, too!īut like I said above, the controls are atrocious. I love that Cool World tries to encourage exploration and backtracking with these item-based puzzles, though. It’s baby’s first adventure game – the first two “puzzles” are to get into the library by finding a book to return and to scrounge up enough money to get into the dance club – so I don’t think it will stump anyone too hard. The remarkable part of this game is that it’s kind of an adventure game, which I dig. Humans inhabiting a cartoon world is little more than flipping the Who Framed Roger Rabbit concept on its head in the most basic and unoriginal way possible. Nothing about the Cool World world is appealing.

This reflects more on the movie than the game, but I find the design of the backgrounds and characters to be amateurish and even creepy at times. On the bad side, the game is ugly and the controls are as stiff as a corpse. There are a few games like The Addams Family that show some care went into their development and fun to play and thoughtful in some way.Ĭool World falls somewhere in the middle of those two extremes. Most, like Chester Cheetah: Too Cool to Fool, are forgettable at best. Most licensed games on the Super Nintendo are rote action or platformer games that don’t really try to do anything above and beyond that. Approximate Release Date: FebruGenre: Action/adventure Developer: Ocean Software Publisher: Ocean SoftwareĬool World is an interesting yet unsuccessful attempt by a licensed game to do something novel.
