Die Mega CD 2-Pioniere von Digital Pictures bleiben ihrer Linie treu. Statt wirklich einmal um Interaktivität bemüht zu sein, wird der Spieler wieder zum bloßen Zuschauer degradiert und darf nur hin und wieder in einer schießbudenartigen Sequenz mit einem Fadenkreuz Zombies meucheln. Anfangs ist das natürlich noch reizvoll, auf Dauer gesehen jedoch recht fade. Eines der schwächeren Titel von Digital Pictures.

Wer ein Fan von interaktiven Spielfilmchen ist, wird vor allem von der 32X-Version begeistert sein, die in den Zwischensequenzen recht ordentliche und detaillierte Grafik rüberbringt. Ansonsten gleichen sich beide Fassungen wie ein Ei dem anderen und bieten Shoot´em Up-Action, wie es astreiner kaum sein könnte. […] Wer jetzt gleich zum nächsten Händler rennt, sei gewarnt, denn wer keine guten Englischkenntnisse mitbringt, wird die Story und die zahlreichen Tips nur schwerlich verstehen können. Außerdem bietet das Ganze auch spielerisch im Grunde nicht die Welt und wird auf Dauer doch recht langweilig. Inhaltlich gibt sich Corpse Killer zudem unnötig brutal, und die Zombies lassen sich auch kaum von Menschen unterscheiden.

Corpse Killer is a full-motion video shoot-'em up. You play as an elite special forces soldier, who parachutes onto a remote tropical island. It seems the evil genius Dr. Hellman has found a way to raise the dead, and created an island of zombies. It's up to you to shoot your way through the undead hordes and stop Dr. Hellman. The game is played from a first-person perspective. Various zombies pop up in front of a video background, and you shoot them down by moving a cursor on screen or by using a light gun. www.Mobygames.com

I recently bumped up the grades for the Saturn and 3DO versions of Corpse Killer, mainly because I found the game's cheesy acting to be somewhat endearing. But the 32X version will get no such benefit. Although basically the same game, this version is prone to intermittent video skipping, which seems to occur every few seconds during the action sequences. Corpse Killer is a poor game to begin with, and this flaw makes it nearly unplayable. You assume the role of a soldier sent to a remote island to rid it of zombies and the mad professor who's producing them. The action consists of simple „aim the cursor and shoot“ stages sandwiched between dramatic video clips. The footage features vibrant colors but only fills three-quarters of the screen. The acting is cheesy all around, but Vincent Schiavelli does deliver a fun, over-the-top performance as the mad scientist. The jeep-driving Rastafarian Winston is quite good also, but the hot blonde reporter is awful to the point of being unintentionally hilarious. Corpse Killer's gameplay is shallow, easy, and not enjoyable at all. Aiming the cursor with control pad is clumsy and inexact, but Sega's Menacer light gun is also supported (in case you own that colossal monstrosity). The interesting locations are the best aspect of the game, including a fort, village, jungle, beach, and graveyard. The pixilated, floating zombies are clearly just superimposed in front of the scenery, and they look awful. Weak sound effects include the same grunt noise for every zombie shot. I do enjoy the bongo drum music however - it seems appropriate. But if you're looking for a playable version of Corpse Killer, seek out the Saturn or 3DO versions. www.videogamecritic.net

Mow down hordes of zombies with a machine gun in one of the best FMV games on the Mega-CD. You must explore the island of Cay Noir with the help of the last survivor Winston and journalist Julie, in order to defeat Doctor Hellman and his zombie army. Moving on rails through short sections but around the island at will gives a sense of freedom, and is also necessary to locate bonus items that will help with the final assault on Dr Hellman's Fortress. At any time you can return to your base in the graveyard to rest and regain health. The FMV is slightly grainy, as would be expected, but the action is easy to make out and the whole game is an enjoyable blast from beginning to end. What can only be found by digging through the option menu is that this title will support the Menacer light gun, which is much better than using a joypad. This is perhaps the only one of the four titles where the original is rarer than the enhanced 32X version. www.sega-mega-cd-library.co.uk
