Red Dog on Sega Dreamcast

The TV advert for Red Dog:showed no screen shots and only featured a man screaming at the top ofhis voice. By the time you’ve read this review you’ll know why.

It’s a mission-based game that feels like driving around in a 4×4 in a MadMax-style post-apocalyptic landscape, the first being to search and destroythe Haak mobile generator unit lodged inside a volcano.

The graphics are quite fun as your vehicle bounces around, righting itselfwhenever you flip over, collecting power-ups, but it’s nothing we haven’t seenbefore. The sound effects are standard and the soundtrack seems like Kraftwerkat their least creative. It’s also an incredibly difficult game to play,targeting the enemies with out-of-control crosshairs while quickly gettingkilled, taking you back to the last, sparse checkpoint with no game-save option.

Overall

If you have to play this game, rent it first on the provision that you canreturn it after an hour and get a refund as it’ll take you no longer to getfed up with it.
