Publisher: Konami
Released: 1994
Snatcher is a graphic adventure game that was originally released on the PC-8801 and MSX2 in 1988.
+ Does an excellent job of narrative pacing and guiding you along, and there's nothing too cryptic that will impede progress.+ Has some funny moments that totally break the fourth wall, including some laugh-out-loud nods to other Konami games.
+ Presentation is astounding and the atmosphere is always tense thanks to the gripping story and evocative music.
+ Sprite work is spectacular and brings the locales to life whether it's neon-filled cityscapes or gritty urban neighbourhoods.
+ Shooting gallery scenes add pulse-raising variety and play great with either the controller or the Justifier light-gun.
- Requires you to continually select the same menu item to trigger the next plot point, which can be tedious.
- Finale builds to an anticipated showdown with the main antagonist, but it resolves via a long cut-scene without player input.
