Publisher: Sega
Released: 1990
Double Hawk is a shooting game that's exclusive to the Sega Master System.
+ Falling power-ups add a risk-reward element, and obtaining the machine gun for rapid fire is super satisfying.
+ Bosses are a joy thanks to their multi-target battles that are reminiscent of Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991, Arcade).
- Gameplay is ripe for Light Phaser functionality, but the Control Pad only offering mutes a lot of the potential enjoyment.
- Your character and reticle move at an absolute snail's pace, and there's no roll mechanic to quickly get out of harm's way.
- Frequent occurrences where nothing happens on screen for ten second periods, leaving you twiddling your thumbs.
- Lack of music during gameplay hurts the atmosphere, and there's little scenic variety and too many repeated assets.
