A first glance at the back of the case this game looks as if it can be quite good. Graphics look solid and colourful and the description makes it sound good. But wait a minute ! Has there ever been a good Doraemon game? Well, there were one or two half decent efforts I guess but over all they're all pretty crap. The same thing can be said about this Saturn game.

All the characters and enemy sprites used within the game are pre-rendered which makes them look retarded whilst moving. The playing fields are polygon generated though with some of the most awful looking textures ever ! Did they draw them with Microsoft Paint?  In the gameplay department it's possible to jump between the foreground and background throughout each level but this doesn't really add anything to the game play. What does add to the gameplay in a bad way though is the awful slowdown.  Sometimes there will be nothing on the screen except your character yet the game is slowing down to a crawl. It just doesn't make sense at all. Add some really shitty music (well the Doraemon tune is there) and awful level design and you have yourself a game that many would consider worse than a homebrewed game.
