It's so unfortunate something like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs never gets ported though.same with AvP outside of the Capcom arcade stick. You can't say that about many other games! (except the absolutely terrible Sega CD sequel.but that doesn't even deserve a mention except to say "dont play it")Įven though Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is THAT good, you still have to weigh them against Alien Vs Predator, Final Fight, Battle Circuit, Knights of the Round, Armored Warriors.the list goes on! Capcom's roster of awesome games in this genre is stacked! So is it the best beat em up Capcom ever made? I don't know lol.maybe it is this week? But what do you guys and girls think?
I mean you are beating up gang members AND dinosaurs with weapons and your fists/feet.while getting the opportunity to drive vintage Cadillac vehicles to run over opponents and have boss fights in.
Speaking of the “Mad Max style post-apocalypse wasteland but with dinosaurs” setting, this does lead to some classic clichés being missing from the game.Trying to determine my favorite Capcom beat em up game is about as hard as picking a favorite style of beer I love them all so how do I determine what quantitative qualities equal "the best".Ĭadillacs and Dinosaurs has to many amazing qualities absolutely perfect beat em up gameplay, graphics and sound that marry perfectly to the overall vibe, an awesome soundtrack that you could listen to and enjoy outside of the game.and just an absolutely absurd story. So basically it’s another really solid CAPCOM scrolling beat ‘em up with a really unique and fun setting. There are also the health and weapon pick-ups (often from barrels!), and the weapons can include the usual melee weapons but can also include guns and explosives, which at the time was unique in my eyes (turns out it had already been done, but I wasn’t to know at the time!) The only other thing unique about the game is the fact that as well as the “Black Marketeers” gang you fight there are also titular dinosaurs that roam around the levels and will attack both you and your enemies indiscriminately, which is fun. Up to three players can play simultaneously and if more than one player does a special near another you can do a “Team Special”. You have your attack, your jump, your grapple (where you can attack and throw) and a health-draining special move, though this time you also have a special move that doesn’t deplete health, sort of like Streets of Rage II and onwards. Like a lot of these licensed games the actual core gameplay hasn’t been changed much, the characters and locales doing all the work in making it feel different compared to what came before it.
Ah-ha! There’s a Cadillac! … Admittedly blurry, but as you can see by the normal health bar, that’s just the screen effect when you’re driving…
