Reviews for T-Bird (#5159)

Review by p13z on 22 Jun 2013 (Rating: 3)

Fly your T-Bird space-ship rocket-car thing into the screen, avoiding and blasting alien hoards and obstacles.
The graphics are impressively done. It looks like a better, smoother mix of Space Harrier and Deathchase. It has all the elements for a great game; waves of enemies, power-ups and variation. It just isn't engaging enough to play. Judging the distance of everything in the z-axis is a bit tricky, and leaves you feeling a little detached from the action. This has so much more than something like Deathchase, but isn't as fun.
One of those games that is really worth seeing, but not worth playing for long.

1989 Mastertronic Plus (UK)
by Mongee Boswell

Had this been release before 1987 and it could have been properly appreciated. It looks close to a perfected Buck Rogers and plays similar to Space Harrier. But it feels kind of shallow. Maybe it could have benefited with 128k sound fx's or a few modern (1989) enhancements.

This reminds me of Mach 3 quite a lot , a game I used to love !! but this is much worse ...

T-Bird tries to be a good challenge but pretty son becomes tedious and mechanic unlike Mach 3 .

If you like T-Bird you will love Mach 3 !!!

Ps - Mach 3 is a PC game by Loricels .
