My five word review:
Please don't make his day!
8 out of a possible 25



Wow, pass on this game! Mindscape and Grey Matter did a horrendous job on what could have been an awesome game. Dirty Harry is a clunky piece of fecal. The controls are bad (interacting with people by jumping up and down? What the hell?!) and the fact your health isn't even displayed on the screen makes things worse.



The graphics are really terrible. No effort in any great detail at all. The colours are dead and just drab. No life, nothing instilled into this game to make it pop or stand out. Ugh! The ONLY good thing that came out of this game was the title screen. You get a nice display of Harry Callahan himself saying "Go ahead punk, make my day!" in a really wonderful voice synthesiser. Sad eh? Usually I hate bashing games. But the only redeeming part of this game is that screen. After that, just turn off your NES because you just saw the highlight of Dirty Harry.

Sadly, the best part of this game

In the meantime, in between time!
