Released: 1991
Dick Tracy is an action game that was also released on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis in 1991.
+ Clever attack implementation due to pressure sensitive inputs that dictate foreground or background shooting.
+ SMS exclusive special move evens things by wiping out all foes on-screen, similar to Streets of Rage (1991, Sega Genesis).
- Controls are terribly stiff and there's noticeable animation lag when trying to attack that affects the flow of the gameplay.
- Lots of reused locations, and like Karate Kid (1987, NES) you can abuse the sprite limit and trail enemies to the exit.
- Car stages omit the distance metre, and the dumbed down bosses can be beaten by rapid firing while remaining static.
- Bonus Stage only includes two of the three targets, yet the lack of face buttons could have been aided by the d-pad.
