Daffy Duck in Hollywood (Sega Mega Drive review)

Developer: Psionic Systems
Publisher: Sega
Released: 1995

Daffy Duck in Hollywood is an action-platformer that was originally released on the Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System in 1994.

+ Level design breaks each stage down into three smaller areas to minimise backtracking and help you stay orientated.

+ Combat has a Bubble Bobble (1986, Arcade) vibe and quickly trying to capture / pop foes to eliminate them is entertaining.

+ Arms you with an impressive array of weaponry, and the game allows you to choose from multiple levels at any time.

- Stage layouts aren't as creative and fun to navigate as the 8-bit versions, making letter icon collection more of a chore.

- Assault and Peppered stage removes your bubble gun in favour of brawling and throwing stars, but the variety is marginal.

- Attack animations take forever to complete, leaving you vulnerable to damage until the cycle eventually resets.

- Bosses are a major disappointment, as each one is almost identical and relies on button mashing to succeed.
