Review - Cannon Fodder


I played the PC version of this game before I'd ever heard of the snes version. I must say that I like the snes version a lot better; it just plays better. I've always been skeptical of rts games on console systems, but Cannon Fodder has given me hope. It's amazing how well you can control your small squad of troops using a gamepad.

Graphics: (7/10) Okay, this is a tough decision to make. The graphics really are pretty damn good, but the limitation of snes makes everything look kinda blocky. The designers did a great job, but the overall impression comes out a little short of beutiful.

Sound: (5/10) Uh.... really didn't like the sound. It seemed a bit bland and neglected. The gunshots, explosions and screams are all nicely done; but the music (when present) left much to be desired. And what the hell is up with the recruitment scene music???

Fun: (7/10) I must admit the gameplay is damn nice. If you hold down the fire button your entire squad starts unloading with automatic fire "crack, pop, bang!" The bullets kinda scatter around and launch enemies into the air bleeding and screaming. Press A + B to use your secondary weapons (nades!) and be careful!

Creativity: (7/10) Even attempting an rts game on snes deserves a decent creativity score, b/c I'm sure it was difficult to pull it off. They did a great job.

Multi-Player: I wish...

Tips and Cheats: Press A + B to use secondary weapons! Also check out Gamer Winners codes to every level.

Errors: I had no problems.
