ESWAT: City Under Siege (Genesis) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
Ойындар
A playthrough of Sega's 1990 platformer/shooter for the Sega Genesis, ESWAT: City Under Siege.
Played on the default difficulty level.
ESWAT is an early Genesis "adaptation" of the ESWAT arcade game rather than a "port." It's based on the same idea and characters, but it's a brand new game on the home system.
You play as Duke, a police officer in the near-future slumtropolis of Liberty. Liberty is being threatened by EYE, a futuristic uber corporation, and the company's soldiers are waging war on the local law enforcement.
It's basically Robocop by Sega, sans license. Duke is Alex Murphy, Liberty is Detroit, and EYE is OCP. It's a solid framework for a video game plot from 1990.
The game plays like Shinobi, but from the third stage on, Duke gets a jetpack that makes him feel straight out of the RoboCop 3 games. In a good way.
It has the same large sprites and comfortably stiff controls that Sega's early Genesis action games are known for, and it sets itself apart with its cool near-future dystopian vibe, its impressive setpieces, and its hyper 80s sense of color.
I loved the way each level had a distinct theme to its visual design - the lasers that split the foreground and background are a really cool touch in stage 2, and I loved the way stage 5 has a huge miniboss following you in the shadows. For a game that came out 1990, this is some grade A stuff. The soundtrack is great too, and the digitized voices are nice and clear.
The controls are snappy and the jetpack feels nice and weighty, and the game's difficulty is pretty reasonable. There are a few big spikes over the course of the game (and oh man, that last boss is brutal!), but it's generally fair at the default level.
I really enjoyed ESWAT. If you ever played RoboCop 3 and thought, "this would be so much better if only it didn't totally suck!" ESWAT does an excellent job of picking up the slack.

The music in this game is an absolute banger!
ESWAT feels like a Sega-made Robocop game, and it's a pretty damn good one.

I wish they linked this game to Streets Of Rage, for the first game was supposed to be an spin-off of.

I can totally see someone editing the sprites in this game to make it a *_"Robocop"_* game. Kinda like that *_"Journey to Silius"_* _Terminator_ sprite hack.

Yes sir it’s a hard game I got good at it but it not no game like trash ass vectorman,i put this game at the tiers with Castlevania,Smb,Ninja Gaiden,mega man og and x,which are at the top 5 in my list
Lots of Sega games on the Genesis used the "Shinobi" formula. The Arcade original had that hilariously sounding "Oh, thank you officer!" soundbyte.
Sadly this is one of those games I overlooked back then when I had my Genesis. I was more into revenge of Shinobi, strider and separation anxiety Spider-Man. Time to give this one a go👍
Played this a couple times at a friend's house, fun game
I like how genesis games have an "arcade" feel to them vs. super nintendo

0:30 [ *_"E-SWAT!"_* ]. This is a game that I never played as a kid. I played it through *_"Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection"_* for *_Xbox 360_* . I had a lot of fun with the game, even though I couldn't beat it. It's a hard game. This definitely has that 89' Genesis quality to it. The graphics, the music, the gameplay, everything... and I love it.
I gotta get a playthrough of this here goin'! Watching this has given more incentive to do so! And those voice samples... They're among the clearest I've heard in a Sega Genesis title since Task Force Harrier Ex!
This is the REAL deal. Arcade version is fun, but this one really shows how usefull is an ESWAT suit.
I'm assuming this has NOTHING to do with the Andrew Davis film _Under Siege_ and EVERYTHING to do with jumping and shooting everyone unfortunate enough to move within your line of sight. Whilst bobbing your head to the gritty yet catchy soundtrack. Classic.
So is this supposed to be like, a sequel to the arcade game? Huh. Still, gotta love that classic Sega feel. Glad I grew up with the Genesis.
As a life long SEGA fan I had always heard and seen ESWAT but never seen the game itself in action. WOW! what an amazing game! I see a lot of Contra and Zillion in it. Superb sound, graphics and control. Where is a sequel??
Omg omg omg! I played this and was sooooo excited!!!!

Love this game. A lot better than the arcade even with the lack of a 2 player mode.
I have this game on a SEGA plug n play, and it’s relentlessly difficult. Especially stage 4.
"I'm just your average ESWAT cop. Some pesky citizens were peacefully protesting with their guns out so I had to mag dump into them. I was in fear of my life. But that's OK. I'm government so I have partial immunity and can't be sued. So I've earned myself a donut."
I had this back in the 90s, game ruled
stage 4 sudden difficulty ramp is too much. old games draw you in and smash you down so hard
I used to be good at this game when I was young, but I tried it again more recently and didn’t beat the 2nd mission boss. Might try again now that I have had my memory jogged by watching this. 😄
The Original Master Chief!
Only downer is you don't get to battle a Bengal tiger, gorilla, and a monster truck this time.
Great walk through.....some really hard levels to be fair!
back in the day at my local youthcenter they had an arcade cabenett of this game and it was a quarter eater
Even as a small kid back then i thought that the sudden parallax "lock" of the background in 8:30 very odd. This must be a bug or something
This game is no doubt a million times better than the 6th Police Academy Film. Where they too had to save a city under siege.

The first 2 levels take like 5 minutes to beat. Very easy.
Now if Peter Weller wears a modified Robocop costume (minus the visor and painted blue), he would make a good poster man for E-Swat, if not be in an adapted movie.
Best underdog game of the early genesis.
Graphics and even introduction are very similar to Metal Gear 2!

Not a bad game at all, definitely better than the Master System port in my opinion (the one I used to own back in the day). Some good old action-filled fun.

The Genesis version was better than the arcade. Only gripe with the game was the final boss because he gets to end the fight with a cheap shot from his burner and if your health was low you were going to die.
