Outdance aliens, rescue captives, and look funky. It may not sound like much, but there's a certain satisfaction that's derived from perfectly mimicking a complex chain of movements. In terms of aesthetics, Space Channel 5 has more originality and style than five other games combined. The character and set designs are absolutely incredible, using a retro-futuristic motif that must be seen to be believed. Everything looks like a perfect cross between Austin Powers and Buck Rogers.
Rounded edges abound, and everything has a shiny, plasticy sheen to it.
This is truly something new that we've never seen before, which is unfortunately quite rare in the world of video games. Ah, there's nothing like amassing a horde of groupies. Thankfully, the video is relatively crisp and mostly free of troublesome compression artifacts, allowing the game to showcase some of the most remarkable CG yet seen in a video game. The real time characters look good as well, with great lighting effects and smooth, smooth animation. The dance moves are a riot , and I'd love to see someone attempt them in real life.
