You know what the best part about being a 90's kid was? All the amazing cartoons! From Dexter's laboratory to catdog to powerpuff girls to doug. Can you feel all the nostalgia flowing inside of me? But there was a certain cartoon that caught my attention, Pinky and the brain, It revolves around two lab rats, Pinky who is dumb but lighthearted, and on the other side of the spectrum there is brain, who is evil and never Story - One night Pinky and brain are watching TV. Pinky asks why don't they spend more then one night trying to take over the world, instead spend the whole week! A news forecaster then announces next week is the launch of the new weather space station, It will monitor weather all over the world, It does this along with three stations on the ground in various parts of the world, Brain plans to alter the computers from the three weather stations by introducing erratic data. It sounds really complicated, but It is not. But while a Gameplay - Pinky and the brain the masterplan is your standard platform action game, though with a few twists. Not every level in the game is just "Get from the beginning to the end of the level without dying: there is diversity to be had! Some levels have you driving submarines under the sea, riding a tank through the desert, or getting to the top of a burn building. Now how does the game? You control our two titular heroes through some places a mouse has never gone before, these worlds include the acme laboratory, inside of a whale's mouth, the amazon jungle, and a hot top volcano! (No offense diddy kong!) You use the D-pad to move, The A button to Jump, The B button to use any weapons, The L button to switch characters, And the R button to run. Throughout each level there are many items to collect and suprises to be found, These items are including but not limited to, Pieces of paper in which 99 collected by the end of the stage will grant you access to a bonus stage to earn extra lives, The letters P I N K Y, and B R A I N, in which collecting all five of one will also grant you access to a bonus game. There are also BB guns to defeat enemies from long distance, and green cheese will grant your characters superpowers. In pinky's case he will grow into a big hulk letting him smash through large obstacles, and in brain's case he will be able to use his head as a balloon ala earthworm jim to reach areas once inaccessible. I will say that the switching and the letters do remind me of donkey kong country in a way. Also this game is a one hit wonder, meaning pinky and brain can take one hit before being knocked out, if Pinky gets killed, brain is left, but if brain gets killed, you lose a life, luckily there are star doors scattered throughout the worlds which revive fallen players, the annoying part is someone dying in a hard section and having to backtrack to the door. Lastly, there are a couple of clever bosses throughout such as simon says rhythm game with a monkey, and the final fight with the bad guys. Graphics - This game was released in 2002, and if that tells you anything, It tells you that this was an extremely early Game Boy Advance title! But how does the game look? It looks pretty great actually! All the worlds you'll be exploring have lots of color and lots of things going on, such as the long vines you'll be swinging in the jungle, or the rocks you'll be jumping in the volcano. How do pinky and brain look? Well you tell me, but they look exactly like they do on the TV show, they're white, pinky is tall, brain is short and his head is quite large.The HUD Is pretty self explanatory, It displays your lives, your PINKY and BRAIN letters, and how many papers you have collected. I haven't brang up the enemies have I? Well they look cartoony, you'll be battling rats, robots, armadillos, and a couple of others that I don't remember but they are there. Sound - In terms of audio, here is also where the developers succeeded. The sound in this game is very cartoony and contributes well to the show. Even though the theme song is Addictiveness - How fun is this game? Well you tell me! Haha, well if you are a fan platformers (Mario, sonic, klonoa, megaman) then I would suggest you play the harder levels of the game, They are pretty faster and action paced then say...Level one. Depth - Now with all the positive energy given here, it's time to tone it down a notch. The game is actually pretty short and will take about an hour to beat in one sitting. The game offers over 5 worlds with about 3 levels each, and they can all be beaten in about 2-3 minutes. The game also does offer a password system to return to any of your favorite levels, like pretty much every Game Boy Advance game at the time. There is also some sort of multiplayer mode but I can't talk about that because I don't have alot of Gba's or copies of this game! Difficulty - Now in terms of the difficulty, this is also where the game tones it down a notch. The game is actually pretty easy for it's target audience, but a couple of things can be contributed to this, First, the game is really generous with lives much like donkey kong, even though the extra life cap is at only 9, you'll still have more then enough to beat the final boss with no sweat. Second, the game like I said has star doors which help revive fallen players, the problem is if you're in a hassle to bring pinky or brain back from the dead and you're not near any doors in sight, you have to backtrack all the way to the door and get it done! It feels really annoying although the game sometimes leaves them at the END of a hard segment. (I mean after you get through it.) Overall - 7.9/10 While this game doesn't bring anything really new to the table, It is still a worthy choice for platformers who have had enough of Mario sonic or klonoa. I do think that this game was only in europe so vizzed or any other emulators are your only way of getting to play this platforming gem. (Okay maybe I overexagerrated at the end there..)

Growing up as a kid I remember the show Arthur, I didn't watch it alot but I do remember it being a very realistic cartoon, dealing with topics like 9/11 and such. The characters were also very well fleshed out and developed out. So with all of this said and done, how do you think this can translate into a Game Boy Color game? Well you're about to see.
Story - 5/10 The story of this game is actually quite simple, not that we were expecting anything as groundbreaking as saving the world from skyscraper titans or becoming a master thief, but let's dive in! Our hero Arthur wants to go to the new theme park wonderland (Sorry lewis carroll!) but he is given a pamphlet with 16 empty stars. In order to fill them all in he's have to complete 8 mini-games across his neighborhood. Now before you start asking, Toddy, there's 16 stars to fill in but there's only 8 mini-games! Well we'll dive into that later. For now let's have a wonderful day with Arthur! (Or so we hope...) Gameplay - Arthur's absolutely fun day is from what you expect reading all the above, a mini-game collection. You take control of arthur, wandering around the neighborhood finding whatever there is to do. Upon starting the game immediately drops you off into Arthur's neighborhood in the form of a map screen, you use the d-pad to move and the A button to Scuba diving - Arthur must go undersea diving for quite possibly the most questionable items ever known to man, including but not limited to, cookies, teapots, Tvs, rings, and holy grails. Need I say more? Hockey - Arthur decides to head to the arcade to play hockey with his best friend buster (I'm supposed I haven't brung up the other characters yet) but the problem is that he's incredibly cheap, 9 points and you're done. I actually found a glitch where buster can cost you a win. If I were you, I'd just stick to Chuck E. Cheese hockey.. Library - Alan's day has assigned you with stacking library books, one problem, guess how much time you get? two minutes! I understand that this is a kid's game and and all, but I beat this in 30 seconds! More of this will be discussed in the difficulty section. Berry farm - Wanda wants you to pluck 10 strawberries from her berry farm. This all sounds fine and dandy as candy until you find out a couple of things. One, Arthur is EXTREMELY slow! It takes about a minute just to get one berry. Second, there is an annoying rabbit who will follow you whatever direction you're going and eat your strawberries! Luckily if you keep moving to the right you can actually glitch it out of proportions and get him out of the screen! He will still make that annoying thumping noise but It is very worth it. So this is how you earn stars in the game, Now you guys were wondering. How do you get the other 8? You actually have to replay all of them once! It is all rewarding in the end. Anyways, that is pretty much the gameplay. Graphics - To be honest. It is difficult to critique a game that game out for the Game Boy Color in 2000, about one year before the thing went defunct. But how are the graphics? I'm going to be real here, they are fine, but not the best. For one, the game does have a lot of bright colors which is about what you'd expect from a licensed game based off a kid's show. Second, all of you favorite characters are here! Arthur, buster, francine, binky, brain, muffy, and a couple of others that just got sidelined to the password screen. There are actually a couple of mini-games with cool looking animation! For instance, in the scuba game, Arthur's swimming sprite looks pretty fluid, from the front to the sides, The developers of this game really got the look of the show right. Another instance are the racing and skateboarding games, both are played from a top down view, and they look fine as well, I still don't know though if the racing game is going on a straight road or downhill though...The world will never know. Sound - In terms of audio, that is actually where the game goes down hill. There is no sign of the Arthur theme in the title screen or map, Remember? 'Everyday when you're walking down the street! I say Hey! What a wonderful kind of day!" Half of the mini-games themselves do not have any music at all, with the exception of..."Shivers" The scuba level, the first time I booted this level up I nearly wanted to turn my game boy color off! It has that empty eerie feel as you go down the sea searching for the questionable items I brung up. As for the sound effects, they're just simplistic bleeps and bloops and bangs and booms, but when you get the ball stuck in the hockey mini-game like I addressed earlier, the puck makes a really loud screeching noise which sounds you're game boy advance crashed (Yes that has happened to me before) With all of this said and done, the game just feels kind of...Empty. Addictiveness - How likely am I play to play Arthur again? Gorsh, well I don't know! there isn't really any much to the game besides the game besides 8 mini-games, 8 replays, and one second world for all of your troubles. The game does use a password which is pretty much a Complete game code so you don't have to waste 40 minutes of you life. If I did have to pick some fun games in here, It would be the hockey, the racing, and flapjacks. Depth - As I addressed above, there isn't a whole lot to the game besides just playing mini-games and going to wonderland at the end. So in terms of the length of the game, There are 8 mini-games, all which take around 1-2 minutes to complete, you also have to complete them 2 times to get those 8 extra stars at the bottom of your pamphlet. And after ALL of that, you finally get to wonderland! What is your prize? 4 more mini-games! And those include... Skeeball - Self explanatory, You just throw the ball through the lane hoping it falls into one of the many holes to earn points. Pssh, even Chuck E Cheese was much easier then this. Bumper cars - Once again, you just ride around ramming all of your friends. No strategy involved, there is also an extremely bumping sound whenever you bump them. Water guns - I actually have no idea how to play this thing. It seems like you just mash buttons and hope for your thing to get to the top first. Again, no strategy, just button mash like it's a fighting game. Hammer - Exactly like you would see in the amusement parks, You tap the A button as hard as you can and hope that the thing gets to the top. So that's all there is to the game, no "Congratulations! You win!" screen or anything like that. There is a password though to skip right here and not have to go through a second playthrough of the game! Yipee! Difficulty - The game ranges from very boring to very easy real fast, most of the mini-games last about 1-2 minutes and they are all very simplistic, Paperboy? Just wait for the right time to press A and deliver the paper to the house. Flapjacks? Wait for the right time to flip them with A, then put them on the plate. I understand that this game is for kids and whatnot, but could've there been at least ONE bit of challenge? Like I said, they give you two minutes to stack all of the books in the library. They should've gone out of their way and called this "Arthur's absolutely easy day!" or game, whatever works. Overall - 4.5/10 Not that I was expecting anything groundbreaking from a licensed game based game based of a kid's cartoon, but there should've been a LOT more then what we got here. The game is too easy, too short, and too simplistic for it's target audience. Another thing is that there is no actual end! Just the wonderland and all the games there. If you want a game for the Game boy color with fun, replay value, and challenge, then I suggest you just buy Super mario bros DX. I gave this game a 4.5/10 for all of the cited reasons. Anyways, this has been Toddy, and see you later guys!

Ah, I have such a big love and such for SCEA, Over the years, they have always succeeded to bring us such awesome platformers like Ratchet and Clank, or even sly cooper! Heck, I have barely even got to see what they have been making for us today! But whatever It Is, It has got to be good! As my love for these guys has never died out! And It all started way back In 2001, I finally got my PlayStation 2, but the worst part is that I did not have anything to play on the system Itself! I just had the console, Until my dad had came up to me one very day in my room and give me this gem of a platformer, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, But whatever it was, I know that It has to be good! And that Is it for today! But anyways, Let's just play this game shall we? This is Jak and daxter the precursor legacy for the PlayStation 2!
Story-8/10 Ah, our big adventure goes off to a calm start on the world of sandover village. This is where all of the action starts! We are introduced to our two heroes, jak, a silent elf like creature, and daxter, his annoying and really talkative friend. But let's get back on topic shall we folks? The two boys live with samos and keira hagai, together the team work together to gather up Eco, which is a source of energy which creates a huge portion of the universe and was founded by the legendary precursors. Now that you guys know jak and daxter's backstory, let's get onto the actual story of the game shall we? One starry night, our two heroes jak and daxter are sailing to the isle of misty island, now before that they set sail here, their master samos hagai had recently told them to not go here, but on well. Jak and daxter are walking in on two people setting up an army of some sorts. The two boys are about to make a run for it, but one of the lurkers there nearly hits jak, jak gets him with a barrel of Eco, but the explosion causes to send daxter into a vault of dark Eco after that! Thus turning daxter into an ottsel! They return to samos, but only to be warned by him that their world is planning to be destroyed by the evil gol and maia acheron, two brothers and sisters who want to rid the land and of all of it's Eco forever and ever. The two boys have now got to stop their plan before it is too late! Together, the duo has to adventure through the world collecting power cells, defeating various monsters, and doing all sorts of other crazy stuff along the way! So yeah, let's just jump into the actual adventure shall we folks? Yes? No? Okay. Let's start this thing guys! Gameplay-8/10 For the most part, jak and daxter the precursor legacy is a traditional 3D platformer game much in the lines of games like super Mario 64 and banjo kazooie. The player takes the role of jak and daxter as you guide them through more then seven huge worlds and locales, collecting tons of goodies and collectibles, and defeating lots of baddies and monsters! Controls are as explained, Left analog stick moves, Right analog stick controls the camera, X jumps, O spins, Square punches, And Triangle lets you look around freely. The main premise of the game is to run around huge levels collecting power cells along the way in order to gain access to the next level, power cells can be obtained in many ways possible, paying an oracle, clearing out a group on enemies, solving tricky puzzles, and so many more. Now these are not the only collectibles in your quest, you also collect precursor eggs which can also be cashed into oracles for even more power cells, scout flies which reward the player with another one, and so many more to come. A majority of the levels in the game also contain some quick minigames that take some timing and skill, Like capturing fish, Destroying and keeping lurkers from getting in on a man's crops, and I don't really remember much of the others, but oh well! Jak and daxter also collect this magic substance called Eco over the course of their journey, there are many types of Eco, green Eco restores health, blue Eco lets you run faster for a period of time, red Eco increases your attack power for a limited time, and lastly yellow Eco lets you shoot fireballs out at your opponents. Now let me tell you one thing I love about the game the most, and it is the level design! The levels themselves are all connected to each other, where as in super Mario 64 all the levels are split into separate levels (I:E Mario wings to the sky, Ghost hunt) This really saves the tedium of having to start over an entire mission when you leave the mission itself, In this game when you are nearly done with a mission and leave the world where you are playing the level, it will all be there again when you come back! Lastly, there are plent of boss battles to go around through the course of the game (Or at least the end) Such as this dark Eco plant which spits goobers at you, Or this giant powerful robot that guards the volcanic crater. Graphics-9/10 Wow, just wow, When I first saw the first few videos and trailers of this game, I thought for sure that this game was going to be some blatant wierd looking platformer with no charm or variety what so ever! My thoughts immediatly changed after! This game came out back in 2001, and many many years later, this game looks stunning from start to finish! Each world after the last is just absolutely filled with so much things to do and collect, there are those power cells that I mentioned, there are the precursor eggs which I mentioned as well, And the worlds also contain over 5-8 different tasks to do as well! Which makes exploring through all of their secrets even more fun then before! The levels consist of a sunny island, a forbidden jungle, a dark and gloomy swamp complete with pihranas and other creatures to make you lose all of your sanity the time being, and my personal favorite, Gol and maia's citadel, which looked so big back in 2001, and today the level still looks really really good! Now for the actual character models and such, while they aren't the best models I have seen on any of the playstation 2's platformer games, the game still looks really good! Jak is a wierd looking elf like creature (One reviewer said that he looks like some anime reject) Daxter is your wisecracking and obnoxious sidekick with a mouth that just won't quit, And samos and kiera are also okay as well! Lastly, gol and maia, and they are probably some of my favorite characters from the whole entire series! Too bad that they are never ever seen again, Heck, It's been about 12 years since they fell into that dark eco, I wonder where they are today... The HUD for the game is pretty self explanatory, It displays your health measured by a heart, How many power cells you have collected through the entire game, How many scout flies you have in a level, and well, Yeah, that's it. Sound-8/10 Yes, SCEA never fails to dissapoint with their music in their platformer games and such, and this is definitely no exception to the rule as well! The music in this game is funky, groovy, catchy, cartoony, you name it guys. Let's just see why I said all of those words though! Each world you traverse throughout the game is complete with it's very own theme song to it and that is really good because BGM is important when making a video game like this. Such levels like the misty island or the citadel of gol and maia are prime examples, Misty island's song is catchy, yet somewhat quiet in the end, and has such a good beat to it. Gol and maia's citadel has you thinking and looking back at all of the trouble that you have went through to finally reach the duo in person, and one of my second personal favorites is the swamp world! It makes you think that you are traveling through a big dark and spooky wasteland all alone with nobody and I say NOBODY to protect you at all (Jak 3 I am looking at you right here right now) Now let's get to the sound effects, well, They are definitely cartoony and fitting to what you do to trigger them! We basically have jak and daxter's footsteps for when they walk, A boing noise for whenever they spring into the air, A thwack like noise for whenever jak dashes, and my favorite sound effect is the one for whenever you grab eco! It sounds so cartoony?and fitting to what you just did! Lastly guys we have the voice acting, and boy is it good! Now I know, I know, At this point in the series jak does not actually start speaking until Jak 2 and onwards, So he does not have an actor right now. But as for the other characters, they are amazing! We have max casella as daxter, Tara strong as kiera, Dee schnider as gol acheron, and Well, I don't know who voices samos and maia, but if you do know, just tell me in the comments below! Addictiveness-8/10 Ah, this game has always been one of the most addicting and engaging platformers on the playstation 2 for me! And here is why I excactly say that! Well first, let's start with the overall feel of the game! The game feels excactly like what you would expect from a game made by SCEA, the game itself is funny, cartoony, charming, and just offers so much to do and see throughout the time being! Second, It is also the concept of the game as well! Many critics have cited this game as one of the last few platforming games around before the nation was flooded with tons of call of duty and call of duty elite players, same goes with many fans of the series as well. The game lastly feels very rewarding to you as well, As completing even the hardest tasks of the game (I:E Clearing out those pesky critters in the swamp) Will reward you with a funny dance and animation from our two heroes, and that is pretty darn funny to watch as well! I will never forget playing this game with my dad one day and laughing so hard and anxiously at jak and daxter spinning around and dancing their butts off just because they collected a teensy power cell (Okay maybe it isn't teensy, but still) The power cells do actually play A LARGE role in the game (Haha, see what I did there?) And just collecting all of them with the sheer patience and wit feels so rewarding man! Depth-9/10 Ah, the depth section of this platformer game, and without a doubt one of the biggest aspects that the game itself has to offer for all of it's fans and saviors! Well to start off, the length of this game is one of the big aspects! The game features over 6-10 different worlds and locales to play in, and each one taking over 30 or so minutes just to complete by itself (Depending on if you like to go 100% on your games) So yeah, the game will most likely take you over 4-7 hours to complete in total just because of the game's longetivity and fun factor into It! Second is the amount of collectables and ?such scattered through the worlds! The game features over 100 power cells to collect, and 112 scout flies to obtain, Oh yeah, There are about 1200 precursor eggs to collect throughout the course of the adventure as well, And If I remember correctly, collecting all of the game's power cells will unlock a special ending featuring the main cast of the game opening up this huge rift door thingy, It feels so rewarding! And so does collecting all of those three said collectables as well Huh guys? Difficulty-7/10 Ah, the game has never really gaven me much trouble has the over games have, but there are still some pretty darn tricky parts to play through as well! And well yeah, I will tell you all of them right now! The first mission that has gaven me some trouble throughout the time being would have to be the farthy's treats mission in the swamp world, Here you must help jak and daxter protect all of their friend farthy's snacks from these lurkers by shooting yellow eco at them, the problem is that the enemies go way too fast, and if even ONE of them touches any of the snacks, then you must start everything all over again! Second mission that has given me trouble is the eco beam connector mission in the forbidden jungle, here you must help jak and daxter connect all of these constellation beams together so that they will all hit some sort of satilliete, The problem is that I could never find the last connector! I looked harder and hard as I can, but nothing at all! So yeah, the game's difficulty is fair throughout the course of the game, but still pretty average none then the less! This set the prime example for the later games of the series (Which I don't really know about reviewing) But I will try! Overall-9.2/10 So yeah, that has offically been my review on jak and daxter the precursor legacy! What else can be said about it that hasn't already been said by yours truely RedHotToddy? Except that this is without a doubt one of the finest platformers on the system next to it's competitors ratchet and clank and sly cooper? Yeah! But anyways, I gave this game a 9.2 because It is fun, challenging, very VERY lengthy, and the game will just keep you very very busy for all of your precious time being! Heck! This game lasted me throughout the whole entire holiday season when I first got it for christmas! But anyways, this has been RedHotToddy's 140th review, and I will see you guys later! Ah, I have such a big love and such for SCEA, Over the years, they have always succeeded to bring us such awesome platformers like Ratchet and Clank, or even sly cooper! Heck, I have barely even got to see what they have been making for us today! But whatever It Is, It has got to be good! As my love for these guys has never died out! And It all started way back In 2001, I finally got my PlayStation 2, but the worst part is that I did not have anything to play on the system Itself! I just had the console, Until my dad had came up to me one very day in my room and give me this gem of a platformer, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, But whatever it was, I know that It has to be good! And that Is it for today! But anyways, Let's just play this game shall we? This is Jak and daxter the precursor legacy for the PlayStation 2!
Story-8/10 Ah, our big adventure goes off to a calm start on the world of sandover village. This is where all of the action starts! We are introduced to our two heroes, jak, a silent elf like creature, and daxter, his annoying and really talkative friend. But let's get back on topic shall we folks? The two boys live with samos and keira hagai, together the team work together to gather up Eco, which is a source of energy which creates a huge portion of the universe and was founded by the legendary precursors. Now that you guys know jak and daxter's backstory, let's get onto the actual story of the game shall we? One starry night, our two heroes jak and daxter are sailing to the isle of misty island, now before that they set sail here, their master samos hagai had recently told them to not go here, but on well. Jak and daxter are walking in on two people setting up an army of some sorts. The two boys are about to make a run for it, but one of the lurkers there nearly hits jak, jak gets him with a barrel of Eco, but the explosion causes to send daxter into a vault of dark Eco after that! Thus turning daxter into an ottsel! They return to samos, but only to be warned by him that their world is planning to be destroyed by the evil gol and maia acheron, two brothers and sisters who want to rid the land and of all of it's Eco forever and ever. The two boys have now got to stop their plan before it is too late! Together, the duo has to adventure through the world collecting power cells, defeating various monsters, and doing all sorts of other crazy stuff along the way! So yeah, let's just jump into the actual adventure shall we folks? Yes? No? Okay. Let's start this thing guys! Gameplay-8/10 For the most part, jak and daxter the precursor legacy is a traditional 3D platformer game much in the lines of games like super Mario 64 and banjo kazooie. The player takes the role of jak and daxter as you guide them through more then seven huge worlds and locales, collecting tons of goodies and collectibles, and defeating lots of baddies and monsters! Controls are as explained, Left analog stick moves, Right analog stick controls the camera, X jumps, O spins, Square punches, And Triangle lets you look around freely. The main premise of the game is to run around huge levels collecting power cells along the way in order to gain access to the next level, power cells can be obtained in many ways possible, paying an oracle, clearing out a group on enemies, solving tricky puzzles, and so many more. Now these are not the only collectibles in your quest, you also collect precursor eggs which can also be cashed into oracles for even more power cells, scout flies which reward the player with another one, and so many more to come. A majority of the levels in the game also contain some quick minigames that take some timing and skill, Like capturing fish, Destroying and keeping lurkers from getting in on a man's crops, and I don't really remember much of the others, but oh well! Jak and daxter also collect this magic substance called Eco over the course of their journey, there are many types of Eco, green Eco restores health, blue Eco lets you run faster for a period of time, red Eco increases your attack power for a limited time, and lastly yellow Eco lets you shoot fireballs out at your opponents. Now let me tell you one thing I love about the game the most, and it is the level design! The levels themselves are all connected to each other, where as in super Mario 64 all the levels are split into separate levels (I:E Mario wings to the sky, Ghost hunt) This really saves the tedium of having to start over an entire mission when you leave the mission itself, In this game when you are nearly done with a mission and leave the world where you are playing the level, it will all be there again when you come back! Lastly, there are plent of boss battles to go around through the course of the game (Or at least the end) Such as this dark Eco plant which spits goobers at you, Or this giant powerful robot that guards the volcanic crater. Graphics-9/10 Wow, just wow, When I first saw the first few videos and trailers of this game, I thought for sure that this game was going to be some blatant wierd looking platformer with no charm or variety what so ever! My thoughts immediatly changed after! This game came out back in 2001, and many many years later, this game looks stunning from start to finish! Each world after the last is just absolutely filled with so much things to do and collect, there are those power cells that I mentioned, there are the precursor eggs which I mentioned as well, And the worlds also contain over 5-8 different tasks to do as well! Which makes exploring through all of their secrets even more fun then before! The levels consist of a sunny island, a forbidden jungle, a dark and gloomy swamp complete with pihranas and other creatures to make you lose all of your sanity the time being, and my personal favorite, Gol and maia's citadel, which looked so big back in 2001, and today the level still looks really really good! Now for the actual character models and such, while they aren't the best models I have seen on any of the playstation 2's platformer games, the game still looks really good! Jak is a wierd looking elf like creature (One reviewer said that he looks like some anime reject) Daxter is your wisecracking and obnoxious sidekick with a mouth that just won't quit, And samos and kiera are also okay as well! Lastly, gol and maia, and they are probably some of my favorite characters from the whole entire series! Too bad that they are never ever seen again, Heck, It's been about 12 years since they fell into that dark eco, I wonder where they are today... The HUD for the game is pretty self explanatory, It displays your health measured by a heart, How many power cells you have collected through the entire game, How many scout flies you have in a level, and well, Yeah, that's it. Sound-8/10 Yes, SCEA never fails to dissapoint with their music in their platformer games and such, and this is definitely no exception to the rule as well! The music in this game is funky, groovy, catchy, cartoony, you name it guys. Let's just see why I said all of those words though! Each world you traverse throughout the game is complete with it's very own theme song to it and that is really good because BGM is important when making a video game like this. Such levels like the misty island or the citadel of gol and maia are prime examples, Misty island's song is catchy, yet somewhat quiet in the end, and has such a good beat to it. Gol and maia's citadel has you thinking and looking back at all of the trouble that you have went through to finally reach the duo in person, and one of my second personal favorites is the swamp world! It makes you think that you are traveling through a big dark and spooky wasteland all alone with nobody and I say NOBODY to protect you at all (Jak 3 I am looking at you right here right now) Now let's get to the sound effects, well, They are definitely cartoony and fitting to what you do to trigger them! We basically have jak and daxter's footsteps for when they walk, A boing noise for whenever they spring into the air, A thwack like noise for whenever jak dashes, and my favorite sound effect is the one for whenever you grab eco! It sounds so cartoony?and fitting to what you just did! Lastly guys we have the voice acting, and boy is it good! Now I know, I know, At this point in the series jak does not actually start speaking until Jak 2 and onwards, So he does not have an actor right now. But as for the other characters, they are amazing! We have max casella as daxter, Tara strong as kiera, Dee schnider as gol acheron, and Well, I don't know who voices samos and maia, but if you do know, just tell me in the comments below!

Ah, Growing up as a kid I absolutely loved super mario, and I am pretty sure that all of you know that this fat plumber has gone on to become one of the most rememborable video game characters in history, right next to sonic the hedgehog, heck, When you come to think of it...These two guys are starting to remind me of ratchet and clank and jak and daxter! Only born as 90's characters, and jak and daxter and ratchet and clank were born in the mid 2000's!? But as we were saying guys! Back then mario was totally at his peak, everybody loved him and I already know that I did as well, Not once did I ever see mario's games at the time get any criticism, until now, and well, You know what I am talking about. But let's just get onto the review shall we? This is mario's time machine for the super nintendo! Let's hope this turns out good...
Story-7/10 Man, mario needs a long break for crying out loud! He has had to save princess peach god knows how may times, and he is in for a huge suprise today. This game is actually set in an actual time period believe it or not (1993) and well here is what is going on, Mario's arch nemesis bowser has invented his own time machine aptly named the timulator (Very very cute) to kidnap all of the precious artifacts from the many points and periods of time so he can put it all up on his so called museum that he is making, worse?is that if bowsers manages to successfully do so, then the world and all of history will be ruined FOREVER! Which then brings us to our hero mario, who is just calmfully minding his own buisness one calm day until he hears of bowser's sinister plan! So we all know what the fat plumber has got to do now, Mario hasve believe it or not two options in hand, he can restore history and save all of mankind, or he can let bowser get away with it! Thus letting him destroy all of history and mankind! Eitherway, he will have to fight for his world! So yeah, that Is pretty much It. I actually like the story for this game, but we have not seen It all, No no no guys! Just wait till you see how the actual game will end up in the end! Let's start... Gameplay-6/10 Mario's time machine is as simple as you could possible get for an adventure game of this calibur, players will take control of our favorite plumber mario, as you guide the plumber through more then eleven different time periods, collecting goodies, and putting everything back in it's rightful place! Controls are pie, D-pad moves mario, A lets you interact with objects, B lets you jump, X lets you take off artifacts off of their place, and Y lets you dash gracefully through the world. The game starts you off in the museum, here you can access all the game's levels and look at the precious artifacts. All of the levels can be accessed through mario's time machine, just enter the correct number and go ahead wherever that you need to go! However? it is way more fun then it sounds, you will have to then play this little minigame where you must surf across the ocean collecting ten mushrooms, sucessfully doing so will send you to the museum. Here is where it starts wholesomely, You are sent to explore through the time period by yourself talking to people for clues on where to go, you finally get some blanks to fill in about your historical figure that you are learning about throughout the leve, leaving you to find out all of the blanks. It is then onto the next world! Doing more of the same things that you just did like five or so seconds ago! There is nothing wrong with repitition if it is down right. Did I forget to mention that there are absolutely no boss fights or anything along the way? Yes. Not only is the gameplay itself reptitive, but it is pretty time consuming as well! Each world you will explore takes about 30 or so minutes before finally completing it. That is It. Let's cut to the next section shall we? Graphics-8/10 Ah, I will always remember getting cold shivers watching and looking at the opening cutscene, Which is mario standing in front of a dark and gloomy castle wondering what to do next, but do not be fooled guys! Just because the opening cutscene of the game itself is good does not mean that this is the only good part of the game! But let's get back on topic shall we? The first thing you notice when looking at the actual sprites for this game is that all the sprites and backgrounds and such are all ripped from super mario world! Mostly mario, as he looks a little darker and differently colored then he was in super mario world. As for the enemies and other stuff, they are all of your typical fare, A bunch of mario's enemies from the past few games wander around the streets of each world, The koopas, the goombas, and everybody else. There are fairly a decent amount of animations for the characters, Mario has his moving sprite, His running animation, His jumping pose, and well that Is it! Let's get into the actual level design, The levels themselves are actually pretty plain and don't offer or take much brains to get through, There are tons of townsfolk to get? clues from, and while they tell the wierdest clues, be thankful that they actually tell you stuff! You'll adventure through the jurassic period, a chinatown, and so many more places. The HUD for the game is pretty self explanatory, While not much stuff is displayed on the screen, Some certain levels in the game still use a HUD, Like the surfing level, which shows you how many mushrooms you have collected, and finally your bonus meter. The game still looks pretty good though! Sound-7/10 The sound for the game is also a high point of the game as well, Once you start the game itself, You are greeted to some really gloomy? yet peacefully calm music that really sets your expectations for the adventure Itself, as saying for the rest of the game, It is all of your typical mario fare. We have the spunky and entergetic ocean level where you explore and collect mushrooms, we have the lonely streets of chinatown where tons of villagers run calmly, we have the big museum where mario uses the time machine to teleport his way from world to world, and many of the other levels in the game have the same kind of music. Now let's get to the sound effects, they are all of your typical stuff that you come to expect from mario games, we have boings, dings, booms, and well, yeah. Never once has the music really gotten on my nerves once through the entire playthrough of the game, as nintendo always finds cool ways to impress no matter what is the case, Let it be mario, Let it be link, Let it be samus, It is all good for me! Addictiveness-5/10 As a kid, I actually used to have tons of fun with this game, Whenever I was bored, I would just pop it in the super nintendo for a while just so I can forget about everything else, but looking at the game today....Eh, the game hasn't really aged much to be honest, and here is excactly why I say that. Well first, let's start with the overall feel of the game shall we? The game was universally panned because it is an overly complicated educational game that really doesn't offer much to do besides get confused and wonder to yourself "What am I supposed to be doing? Second, It would have to be the overall difficulty of the game as well, when I was younger, I used to have no idea what I was doing nor what all of this history stuff is necesarly about, neither that or I didn't pay attention in school much. Depth-5/10 Here is where the game really doesn't fail to dissapoint me, It is the excact amount of stuff to do and see, Well let's start with this section! Oh boy! This adventure will most likely take you a good hour or so to pass, as you do know! This game does feature only a good 4 or so levels to play in! And after going through all of that trouble, I really don't see why to go through it all again, not to mention that the game does use a password system as well! Which means that you will have to use this code to resume the game, metroid, you lose this round! Difficulty-8/10 Here is without a doubt one of the game's highest points, it has to be the difficulty level! And boy will you guys agree with me on this one! As a kid, I had so much trouble trying to understand this game and all of it's ways, I mean just look at this! While exploring through the levels, the townspeople never seem to do anything except tell you random nonsense that does not have to do anything with the game whatsover! Second, It is trying to bring an artifact to it's place, there are tons of hazards set to ensure you that you won't get through the place easily, and I can see why they did that. But if you have the inteligence of a 9th grader and know your way around all of this game, then you'll pass this game with flying colors! Overall-6.0/10 So yeah, now you guys know already, this game is pretty darn medicore and I can seriously explain all the reasoning behind this! Well? Say it RedHotToddy! Oh yeah! Here is why I gave the game a 6.0, It is because the game is pretty hard and will most likely confuse you through the first few times playing, and everything is so convoluted as well! So know you guys know how this mario game went, and I think it is now time for me to go! So anyways, this has been RedHotToddy's 139th review, and I will see you guys in my 140th review! Anyways, bye! Ah, Growing up as a kid I absolutely loved super mario, and I am pretty sure that all of you know that this fat plumber has gone on to become one of the most rememborable video game characters in history, right next to sonic the hedgehog, heck, When you come to think of it...These two guys are starting to remind me of ratchet and clank and jak and daxter!

The game starts you off in the museum, here you can access all the game's levels and look at the precious artifacts. All of the levels can be accessed through mario's time machine, just enter the correct number and go ahead wherever that you need to go! However? it is way more fun then it sounds, you will have to then play this little minigame where you must surf across the ocean collecting ten mushrooms, sucessfully doing so will send you to the museum. Here is where it starts wholesomely, You are sent to explore through the time period by yourself talking to people for clues on where to go, you finally get some blanks to fill in about your historical figure that you are learning about throughout the leve, leaving you to find out all of the blanks. It is then onto the next world! Doing more of the same things that you just did like five or so seconds ago! There is nothing wrong with repitition if it is down right. Did I forget to mention that there are absolutely no boss fights or anything along the way? Yes. Not only is the gameplay itself reptitive, but it is pretty time consuming as well! Each world you will explore takes about 30 or so minutes before finally completing it. That is It. Let's cut to the next section shall we? Graphics-8/10 Ah, I will always remember getting cold shivers watching and looking at the opening cutscene, Which is mario standing in front of a dark and gloomy castle wondering what to do next, but do not be fooled guys! Just because the opening cutscene of the game itself is good does not mean that this is the only good part of the game! But let's get back on topic shall we? The first thing you notice when looking at the actual sprites for this game is that all the sprites and backgrounds and such are all ripped from super mario world! Mostly mario, as he looks a little darker and differently colored then he was in super mario world. As for the enemies and other stuff, they are all of your typical fare, A bunch of mario's enemies from the past few games wander around the streets of each world, The koopas, the goombas, and everybody else. There are fairly a decent amount of animations for the characters, Mario has his moving sprite, His running animation, His jumping pose, and well that Is it! Let's get into the actual level design, The levels themselves are actually pretty plain and don't offer or take much brains to get through, There are tons of townsfolk to get? clues from, and while they tell the wierdest clues, be thankful that they actually tell you stuff! You'll adventure through the jurassic period, a chinatown, and so many more places. The HUD for the game is pretty self explanatory, While not much stuff is displayed on the screen, Some certain levels in the game still use a HUD, Like the surfing level, which shows you how many mushrooms you have collected, and finally your bonus meter. The game still looks pretty good though! Sound-7/10 The sound for the game is also a high point of the game as well, Once you start the game itself, You are greeted to some really gloomy? yet peacefully calm music that really sets your expectations for the adventure Itself, as saying for the rest of the game, It is all of your typical mario fare. We have the spunky and entergetic ocean level where you explore and collect mushrooms, we have the lonely streets of chinatown where tons of villagers run calmly, we have the big museum where mario uses the time machine to teleport his way from world to world, and many of the other levels in the game have the same kind of music. Now let's get to the sound effects, they are all of your typical stuff that you come to expect from mario games, we have boings, dings, booms, and well, yeah. Never once has the music really gotten on my nerves once through the entire playthrough of the game, as nintendo always finds cool ways to impress no matter what is the case, Let it be mario, Let it be link, Let it be samus, It is all good for me! Addictiveness-5/10 As a kid, I actually used to have tons of fun with this game, Whenever I was bored, I would just pop it in the super nintendo for a while just so I can forget about everything else, but looking at the game today....Eh, the game hasn't really aged much to be honest, and here is excactly why I say that. Well first, let's start with the overall feel of the game shall we? The game was universally panned because it is an overly complicated educational game that really doesn't offer much to do besides get confused and wonder to yourself "What am I supposed to be doing? Second, It would have to be the overall difficulty of the game as well, when I was younger, I used to have no idea what I was doing nor what all of this history stuff is necesarly about, neither that or I didn't pay attention in school much. Depth-5/10 Here is where the game really doesn't fail to dissapoint me, It is the excact amount of stuff to do and see, Well let's start with this section! Oh boy! This adventure will most likely take you a good hour or so to pass, as you do know! This game does feature only a good 4 or so levels to play in! And after going through all of that trouble, I really don't see why to go through it all again, not to mention that the game does use a password system as well! Which means that you will have to use this code to resume the game, metroid, you lose this round! Difficulty-8/10 Here is without a doubt one of the game's highest points, it has to be the difficulty level! And boy will you guys agree with me on this one! As a kid, I had so much trouble trying to understand this game and all of it's ways, I mean just look at this! While exploring through the levels, the townspeople never seem to do anything except tell you random nonsense that does not have to do anything with the game whatsover! Second, It is trying to bring an artifact to it's place, there are tons of hazards set to ensure you that you won't get through the place easily, and I can see why they did that. But if you have the inteligence of a 9th grader and know your way around all of this game, then you'll pass this game with flying colors! Overall-6.0/10 So yeah, now you guys know already, this game is pretty darn medicore and I can seriously explain all the reasoning behind this! Well? Say it RedHotToddy! Oh yeah! Here is why I gave the game a 6.0, It is because the game is pretty hard and will most likely confuse you through the first few times playing, and everything is so convoluted as well! So know you guys know how this mario game went, and I think it is now time for me to go! So anyways, this has been RedHotToddy's 139th review, and I will see you guys in my 140th review! Anyways, bye! |

Ah, you guys all know Sega, these guys have been at their game for so many years, with so many awesome games to come from them I feel that they will never ever let me down, I mean just look at how great they have been treating our favorite man sonic the hedgehog! And to say that the sonic series is going downhill fast, I have yet to get sonic lost world, but still. Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah! Sega! But let's get back on topic, this Sega game that I am going to review today is quite underrated and I bet that almost none of you guys here have ever heard of this adventure, well just in time guys! Because today I am going to showcase this platformer! What is this game you ask me users of vizzed? Well that is for me to know and you to figure out, Ladies and gentleman,This is Dynamite headdy for the Sega genesis!
Story-7/10 Our adventure begins in the once peaceful town of the north town, everything is going all fine and dandy as candy until this very day. Our hero dynamite headdy has discovered that his world is bein destroyed by the evil dark demon! (For lack of a better name) Not only this, but he is actually choosing who gets to live and who should be destroyed! But before our fellow hero dynamite headdy can even fight back, he is arrested and thrown into custody by his so called defenses. Dynamite headdy is nearly thrown into the incinerator, but he luckily escapes just in time to continue his quest. So after all of that, he finally sets out to stop the king and regain control of the world of north town. However even more trouble follows our hero along the way, in order to reach the castle of the dark demon, Dynamite headdy will haste to defeat the evil pagemasters as well! These are the king's helpers who are stronger, bigger, and overall more fierceful then the actual king himself! Lastly, dyanamite headdy also has to face off with the envious trouble brui, an evil puppet who wants to cash in on all of dynamite headdy's glory and steal his thunder. So ladies and gentleman, will our hero save the town? We are about to find all of that out just oh so soon in these next ?few sections! Gameplay-8/10 For the most part, dynamite headdy is a 2D action platformer game in which you will get to take the role of a puppet-like creature by the name of dynamite headdy, as you guide the little dude through more then seven huge levels. Controls work perfectly, The d-pad moves, A lets you jump, And B lets you attack with your head. What makes our hero so super duper special is that he can actually fire his head in several directions to defeat enemies! He can also even stop by this headcase and turn into different heads which give him evil more cool powers like super strength, and the power to glide against grappling hooks. Each of the game's many many vast levels levels are split into several acts, all ending with a boss fight against one of the pagemasters that I just mentioned earlier, these fights are challenging, but oh so fun! Sometimes the game will eventually throw a curveball at you and put you in these shooter levels where you must help dynamite headdy use each of his head powers defeat enemies and obstacles along the way. Tons of goodies and collectables stand in the way of dynamite headdy as well, such as points which can be earned by completing secret tasks throughout the level, liberty heads which grant the player access to a special bonus game where you must shoot basketball hoops, and many more cool extras. Did I even forget to mention that grabbing the remains of a defeated boss will give you an extra continue? Pretty cool eh? Anyways, that Is pretty much It for the gameplay! Graphics-9/10 Let alone looking at the box art for this game, I had absolutely no idea what to expect, When I first got this game, I thought the game wa about so weird robot like creature with a bird fighting crime or something like that, but all of my expectations were changed after popping the game in my console. Like all other sega games, The game looks absolutely astonishing from start to finish! It is as if you are watching a saturday morning cartoon for crying out loud! But as we were saying, each world and locale in this game after the last is huge, vast,, fun, and just such a blast to explore that you'll just be staying there to look at everything else the place has to offer! You'll be exploring through huge and green grasslands, big dark and spooky castles, and so many other places that you would come to expect from a cartoony platformer of this genre. Now for the actual character models, they are quite fun to look at if you ask me! I really like the way that dynamite headdy looks, I was actually wrong about what I thought he looked like at first! But now I finally know what he is a puppet creature that can extend and throw his head in many kinds of directions, he also has some pretty cool idle animations as well, Like playing with his head or just even staying there doing absolutely nothing at all. His enemies are pretty much typical fare, you face off against robots, cats, and tons of more other stuff that I could drag on about. The HUD is pretty self explanatory, It displays your health meter, and your current amount of points obtained. I will be honest here, the game isn't as dazzling as sonic the hedgehog or aero the acrobat, but you got to hand it to them for trying their best! Sound-8/10 As with all other sega games of this calibur, the music is groovy 32-bit glory that you cannot get anywhere else besides at sega'a place, I am not trolling you guys at all! The sound in this game is absolutely tremendous from the very uptight start to the anti-climatic ending. The moment you begin the game you get some quiet sounding conference room like music that sounds somewhat tropical yet really catchy at the same time, which is what makes you love the soundtrack for what it is! But let's just get to the actual soundtrack, each level in the game has It's own distinctive theme song to go along with it that makes going through the actually level even more fun then It should be! Never once has the sound EVER got on my nerves, and why would It? Sega never fails to impress you know! The game even uses rock, hip-hop, and tons of other music genres as well! Now let's get to the sound effects, they are pretty much your typical stuff to be honest, We have booms, boings, bams, plucks, splats, and well, It is as basic as you could possibly get for a game like this, I know that this is supposed to be a cartoony platfomer that is out of this world, but at least try with the sound effects sega! None then the less, They are still pretty average. Lastly, the game does use some voice clips! And for what we have, It Is OK, We have Headdy screaming, talking, and well...Yeah. Nothing else besides that, he does say some more stuff then that, But It is just very very VERY brief. Addictiveness-7/10 This game has always proven to be one of the more better sega games that I have ever played, and here is why I say that! Well first, let's start with the overall feeling of the game shall we? The game feels like every single other sega game That I have played, A big cartoony, colorful, and just overall fun platformer that basically proves that platformers aren't just about jumping and getting to the end of the level. Second, It is the presentation as well! The game opens up in a very awesome fashion that is somewhat actually trying to hook you in the game itself! As I have said with some other games I have reviewed, the main protagonist of the game Is just a blast to control throughout the whole ride through, In this case, Dynamite headdy is such a likable character that I actually put him on Number three of RedHotToddy's top ten favorite video game characters!? I shall post the actual list sometime soon once I get the time. Oh yeah, what was I going to say last? Oh yes! It is also the levels themselves! The levels are very colorful and big, and playing through them is just half the fun! That is what makes the game fun in my opinion. Depth-6/10 The adventure is pretty darn long and I don't see any reasons to back out besides some of those later levels, but as we were saying, let's get into the actual depth factor of the game! This game is very very very long, I have not played the game in a while, But if I remember correctly, the game is over five to seven worlds long, each with four to eight seperate levels connected as well, So in all, the game will most likely take you about one to two hours to complete in all. The game offers alot of more stuff besides this, hmm...what was I going to say? Oh yeah! The game also features this cool bonus game as well, It is where you must help dynamite headdy shoot these basketballs into the hoop as many times As he can, If successful, he will be rewarded with some cool bonuses and goodies! However, if not successful, then he will get absolutely nothing in return, AWW looks like somebody has got a frowny face right there! Hmm...I'm trying my very best to get over 2000+ words here! What was I going to say next? Oh yes! If I also remember correctly, you can earn these special codes by completing these special tasks, and I actually forgot what the actual code does, so I don't think that I will be coming over THERE anytime sooner, or maybe once, but still. Lastly, It is the game's fun factor as well guys! The game feels ver-Oh wait, I was going to say that The game feels like sega put so much time into the adventure that they made tons of more other stuff to keep you wrapped in the game's spell! And that Is a huge plus, so...I think I've been going on and on AND on about this section, so...Let's jump right ahead shall we ladies and gentleman? Difficulty-7/10 Wow...um...the game isn't really that challenging to be honest! Well actually what I mean to say is...um, The game does actually offer a pretty fair challenge level to keep you running and running through the game's big and wholesome levels. I still remember having trouble defeating that cat guy at the beginning of the game because my eyes were REAL sensitive, so I had tons of trouble trying to actually dodge his blast waves! Second, It would have to be the layout of the levels, some of the backdrop can be really misleading! Meaning you can accidentally jump into a block that is actually just there to give more of the backgrounds "Flair" if you know what I mean. Lastly, As I have said before, Dynamite headdy himself is a really fun character to control and look at, But If I remember playing this as a wee little lad, I remember that he could never ever really jump that high! Which means that when trying to get past serious gaps that are hindering you, you'll end up falling because of the low jump level of the hero! Problems aside, the game still controls pretty nifty, no other problems besides that only... Overall-8.3/10 I gave this game an 8.3 because it is fun, innovative, challenging, and just overall an awesome platformer for sega to license and release! Ah, you guys all know Sega, these guys have been at their game for so many years, with so many awesome games to come from them I feel that they will never ever let me down, I mean just look at how great they have been treating our favorite man sonic the hedgehog! And to say that the sonic series is going downhill fast, I have yet to get sonic lost world, but still. Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah! Sega!

Ah, if you guys have probably noticed, I do also like the super Mario land video games as well! I personally think that these games are a good way to get your Mario fix wherever you go, and we still get some Mario games of?This calibur today, We got Mario games for the 3DS, and we have so many more of them coming up so soon! And I think that today is the perfect time to review one of MY personal favorites in the whole entire series, the thing is though, in this one, You do NOT play as Mario! Instead you play as his arch nemesis wario! But anyways, The thing is that is this game a worthy addition to the series? Let's just see shall we? This Is Wario land for the game boy!
Story-7/10 Alright, here is the deal and and main emphasis of the game. You remember in super Mario land 2 how the evil greedy wario was making a mess out of your castle? Well you then eventually defeated him just in time to save your beloved castle! But after all of that commotion, wario is currently on the lam for right now, as he is currently on an even bigger heist then ever before! The following next few days he hears about this treasured stature of the lovely princess peach! The thing is though, there are actually some other people trying to do so as well, so you guys are probably wondering...who (Besides wario) would want to do such a despicable crime? And what will they do next? Well we got one of those answers! It is the brown sugar pirates who want to pull this crime off, and god knows what these guys are to do next! But anyways, wario fights for the money needed to purchase his so called "Promised land" So anyways, we know what the greedy guy is going to do, but just one more question to ask you huys, is wario going to pull off his so called crime of the century? Or will he let the pirates fill in for him? Gameplay-8/10 Aside from all of that, let's get to the actual gameplay of this adventure shall we? Wario land is a 2D platformer game where you take control of the titular character wario and guide him through more then six big levels and locales, collecting treasures and defeating the pirate's goonies along the way, controls are all that, D-pad moves, A is jump, and B lets you attack. The game is set on the world of kitchen island, which is also composed of many other food themed worlds and levels. The main gist of the game is to help wario steal the princess peach statue and remain triumphant, along the way wario will have to defeat many enemies along the way, such as short little guys with spears, turtles, pihranas, and so many other baddies. Wario is himself is armed with tons of moves as well, such as a ground poun, and a charge dash, Most notably are the power helmets which will give wario even more powerful abilities, such as the ability?To turn into a dragon and breathe fire, The ability to become stronger and be capable of breaking even more objects then usual, and tons of others. For the actual collectibles, they are your typical stuff, You collect coins and treasure which I will get more into later, Hearts which will give you extra lives, and well, Yeah. At the end of each level you will have to defeat a powerful boss, such as a huge penguin who will freeze you if you get to close, A bull who rams at just about everything, and many more. There is another thing I must point out, you know who coins are used in Mario earn extra lives and more points? In this game they are used as a type of currency! What I mean to say is that your amount of money that you have saved up by the end of the game affects the type of ending that you will get after actually winning the game, Like let's say that you have over 1,000,000 dollars saved up and you finally finish the game, you will most likely get a big giant and colorful house! However earning like say...3,000 or just 500 dollars will earn you a small teepee and nothing else...Boohoo! Lastly, there is a bonus game at the end of each level which is an awesome way to get more treasure lives and money. I will say It once and only ONCE, The ending system in this game really brings me back to the days of ducktales for the NES where I would collect as much money as I can to get the best possible?Ending there was! I had fun doing It as a kid, and It still hasn't worn out for me! That was about the bane of my childhood! JK! Graphics-8/10 Talk about pleasing to the eye! The moment I started playing this game the intro just completely blew my mind, I mean a pirate ship just sailing lonely on the sea...It kind of made my tear up as a child! Those water affects and everything! Haha...I'm just smurfing with you! But anyways, the game is exactly what you would come to expect from a 2D platformer of this genre, Big, cartoony, and just absolutely dazzling from the start to the very climatic finish! I know that the original game boy was not the most colorful or powerful system at the time, But you got to admit that the system itself has some really really good looking games! I mean just look at this one, Each level is in the game is big almighty and just overall a blast to explore, which makes just exploring them really fun then anything else. The levels of the game itself take place on the kitchen island, the land of tons of food themed worlds like the SS syrup, the rice beach, MT teapot, and so many?Others! The levels themselves are loaded with things to do as well, Like treasures to collect, Puzzles to solve, you know what I am talking about! Now let's get to the actual character models themselves, They are more then just awesome, They are wonderful to look at! So many animations and movements you'll never get tired at looking at what you see on your screen, We have Wario himself who is short pudgy and especially a really greedy man, Actually scrooge mcduck greedy! Hee hee...No wonder why the ending system in this game reminds me of ducktales. Wario's enemies are pretty cool too, We have these little short guys with spears ready to throw at you, Pihranas lurking around in the seas waiting to bite you, Walking rock like creatures, and well, Yes, they are pretty cute enemies if you look at them from here. The HUD in the game Is pretty self explanatory, It shows you your lives, how many coins you have gathered up, How many hearts you have saved, and that Is Pretty much It. Sound-8/10 I will be honest, as I have addressed so many times in all of my other revies of certain games, The sound is one of the best features of any game of this genre! Let it be a cartoony platformer, a racing game, a puzzle game, anything else! It Is just plain awesome. This game Is really no exception. I will never forget being scared senseless by the quiet yet enjoyable opening for this game, It was fun! But anyways, let's get to the actual soundtrack of this adventure! The sound is bright happy and just so enjoyable to hear, So enjoyable that your ears are going to be flooded with this game's admirable and undeniably awesome score! From the peppy sands of the rice beach to the quietly adverse seas of MT teapot, We all got It here! Never once has the actual music or anything got on my nerves, because It is that fun to hear everything in this game. Now for the actual sound effects, and they are kind of a mixed bag, They are all pretty much recycled?from ALL of the other Game boy platformers that I have played in the past few days, Not that It is a bad thing, But It seems kind of lazy! For the actual sound effects, We have booms, beeps, pows, and other stuff that we have heard in tons of other games, It Is okay though! As all of the sound effects have never gotten on my nerves even ONCE throughout the whole entire ride. Did I forget to mention that all of these sound and such that I just mentioned right now would eventually be recycled for the next few wario games after this? Seriously, If I hear that same little coin sound play even one more time, I am about to mute my Game boy! Okay, I may would've been too harsh right here Red. Sound is still good! Addictiveness-8/10 I have always seen this as one of the most fun games out of the whole wario land trilogy, even though that the next few games offered way more to do (I:E The option to replay worlds for more extras) But as we were saying, What fun does this game have to offer? Why the game offers alot of fun! But let's be specific RedHotToddy, As thousands of people are watching this review and want you to be as detailed as you can! Oh yeah! The first thing Is the levels! The levels in this game are HUGE! And they offer so much to do, collect, and just see, which makes them even more bigger then usual. I will never forget outrunning that darn guy on the rice beach chase level (Or something like that) Second sign of fun Is collecting everything there is to offer! There is so much treasure and stuff to collect throughout the worlds that It feels you'll never stop playing until you get that last darn collectible, Which is essential to get a good ending as well! Depth-9/10 This game is HUGE, and a guy like me really means It! The game is flooded with so much stuff to do and so much to see that you will never refuse to put down the game even in your darkest times! Let's get started with the length shall we? The game is long, About 5-7 worlds long, so the game will most likely take you 1-3 or so hours to finally complete (Depending on how much you plan to collect and do) Second, let's get to the ending system like I have been mentioning many times in the review! There are so many endings to recieve in this game, and the ending that you recieve depends on how much treasure and loot that you manage to save up during the course of the whole adventure, Like I have said Once AGAIN, Earning about 1,000,000 dollars earns you a good ending AND a very luxurious house to go along with It! But on the down side, Earning about 500 dollars or less gives you a sad and shameless ending with very reasons to feel sad and depressed after all of your tried out efforts. Well, yeah, You know how long this game will most likely last you. It is nowhere as big and extrordinary as the next few games in the series, but this was the very first game of the trilogy! So let nintendo take their time. Difficulty-5/10 Aside from ALL that I have just said, the game however, suffers from a very very low difficulty level, By the time I completed this game for the very first time, I had just about fifty-five or so lives left! And never once has that said number went down! But as we were saying, the game will not give you a hard time by any means at all, But the game has something for all players, and It is fun! But if you decide to play It real safe with this game Like I did, then you are going to end up like me, You know, Fifty-five lives, best ending, everything and all the treasures uncovered, you get the point. Sorry If I did not have much to say about this game's difficulty level, I don't really remember much about how the game plays but I will try to remember as much as I can. Overall-8.2/10 So how did wario's first adventure go? Was It fun? Did It do good for a platformer game? Well of course It did! And so will the rest of the wario games do! But anyways, Let's just get to the scoring reasons and everything else that has to be said about the game! I gave this game a 8.2 because It is fun, lengthy, challenging, big, and just such an amazing platformer to play over and over again at anytime at all! The game is not as spunky or wholesome as the Other plumber's adventures are, But It is still worth a go! So anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 137th game review, and I will see all of you guys later in my 138th review coming up oh so soon! But anyways, peace out guys! Ah, if you guys have probably noticed, I do also like the super Mario land video games as well! I personally think that these games are a good way to get your Mario fix wherever you go, and we still get some Mario games of?This calibur today, We got Mario games for the 3DS, and we have so many more of them coming up so soon! And I think that today is the perfect time to review one of MY personal favorites in the whole entire series, the thing is though, in this one, You do NOT play as Mario! Instead you play as his arch nemesis wario! But anyways, The thing is that is this game a worthy addition to the series? Let's just see shall we? This Is Wario land for the game boy!
Story-7/10 Alright, here is the deal and and main emphasis of the game. You remember in super Mario land 2 how the evil greedy wario was making a mess out of your castle? Well you then eventually defeated him just in time to save your beloved castle! But after all of that commotion, wario is currently on the lam for right now, as he is currently on an even bigger heist then ever before! The following next few days he hears about this treasured stature of the lovely princess peach! The thing is though, there are actually some other people trying to do so as well, so you guys are probably wondering...who (Besides wario) would want to do such a despicable crime? And what will they do next? Well we got one of those answers! It is the brown sugar pirates who want to pull this crime off, and god knows what these guys are to do next! But anyways, wario fights for the money needed to purchase his so called "Promised land" So anyways, we know what the greedy guy is going to do, but just one more question to ask you huys, is wario going to pull off his so called crime of the century? Or will he let the pirates fill in for him? Gameplay-8/10 Aside from all of that, let's get to the actual gameplay of this adventure shall we? Wario land is a 2D platformer game where you take control of the titular character wario and guide him through more then six big levels and locales, collecting treasures and defeating the pirate's goonies along the way, controls are all that, D-pad moves, A is jump, and B lets you attack. The game is set on the world of kitchen island, which is also composed of many other food themed worlds and levels. The main gist of the game is to help wario steal the princess peach statue and remain triumphant, along the way wario will have to defeat many enemies along the way, such as short little guys with spears, turtles, pihranas, and so many other baddies. Wario is himself is armed with tons of moves as well, such as a ground poun, and a charge dash, Most notably are the power helmets which will give wario even more powerful abilities, such as the ability?To turn into a dragon and breathe fire, The ability to become stronger and be capable of breaking even more objects then usual, and tons of others.

Ah, I remembered owning a super Nintendo, At the time that the console itself was released, The one game that every one of my friends was play was Super Mario world, Which many fans of Mario consider as the greatest Mario game of all time, I started trying out other games on the system, With the second being Donkey Kong country, which is once again another awesome 2D platformer game with charm and everything else! The only thing though was that I wanted to try something new, Everything else at the time had been officially played out, With the exception of this little game I just recently found a long time ago as a kid, When I was little I remember always playing this game when I was bored, When I got home from school, everywhere else! But does the game stand the test of time? Let's see! This Is Star Fox For the Super Nintendo!
Story-7/10 In a distance quadrant in the galaxy, we are introduced to a team known as the star fox, ran by, well, Animals! The group consists of fox mccloud, an anthopormic fox and the main leader of the group, falco Lombardi, one of fox's closest friends, Slippy today, the engineer of the team, Lastly, we have peppy hare. Together these gius work together to save the galaxy and make it a safe place for everyone. But today the team is about to face their toughest challenge yet, just wait and see! The world is currently under attack by the evil scientist andross! He is obsessed with world domination, and corneria is his definite next stop! So after peppy hare hears about this, then then creates the arwing, a special veichle used for space combat. However due to time constraints, he immediately sends fox and his team down to save the world. So will the team save the world, or will they drift into the dust? We are about to find that out just in the next 7 or so sections of this review guys! So stay tuned for more! Gameplay-7/10 For the most part, Star fox plays like a fast paced 3D rail shooter where you control the team's arwing through fast and furious worlds and locales, defeating enemies along the way and doing tons of other cool and wicked stuff. Controls are absolute pie, D-pad is move, A fires your nova bomb, B is retro rocket, X boosts, And Y shoots your missiles. Each level plays out similarly, you shoot enemies, get to the end, then face a huge and powerful boss, these guys are pretty tough but fun. The player will be accompanied by falco slippy and peppy in each level usually to give the player tips, Like shooting, dodging, and most importantly barrel rolls! The game stands out from all other shooters at the time, and here is why I say that, Well first, your ship now has a health meter where as in other shooters (Mostly gradius) everything kills you in one hit. Now that I really like! Tons of items stand in the team's way to help them, such as checkpoints which will restore your health, Extra lives which will...Well? Give you an extra chance to continue the game, and tons of other cool stuff. Now let me tell you what I do think of the game so far, I think the game is actually pretty fun for what It is worth! It introduces tons of new things to the table, Like the extra hit points and the overall feeling of the game as well! The game Is like I said...A 3D shooter game, which means that the player has all total freedom of the character and can move just about anywhere, not in one set place. So anyways, I personally think that the game is doing a wonderful job right now, especially since It stands out from all other SNES games at the time! Nice job nintendo! Sorry If I couldn't say much As I could for this gameplay section the time being, Because It has been a long time Since I've last played the game, So I've lost quite a bit of memories from this, But At least I did okay for here! Anyways, That is it for the gameplay! Graphics-9/10 This game was most famous for being the first ever Super Nintendo game to use a FX chip, I sort of forgot what that thing was as well, But whatever It is, I can't blame them! But anyways, The first second you boot up the game, you are introduced to QUITE a laggy intro, Seriously! Look at all of those Frames per second! But anyways, AS I was saying again! This game Is a 3D action shooter, and they did quite a good job bringing It all to the Super Nintendo. I mean just look at the game itself! It may look like everything in this game Is a polygon (Just like those purple dudes from Smash brothers) But that does not mean that the game Itself is bad! Each world and level after the last Is bursting with depth, vastness, exploration, and just fun in general! I still remember the first time I played this one level thinking that there was spat milk on the screen (Oh my god what was I thinking?) But that is just an example of the game's polygon look. This game believe It or not set the rule and bars of shooter games to come! According to wikipedia, But I really agree. We may would've gotten doom at the time as well, But for now, We just had to stick with this game! It is also fun looking at your buddy's messages throughout the course of the level as well, And thus "Do a barrel roll" Has then became a meme! The HUD for the game Is pretty self explanatory, It displays your current amount of energy left, How many bombs you have left, Your current amount of extra lives, and some sort of Blue bar which I forgot what does, If you know what the blue bar does, Just tell me! Sound-8/10 The sound of this game has Always been one of the best parts of the whole entire game in my opinion, and many many MANY years later, The sound of this game still holds up as one of the Super Nintendo best! The music may sound like your typical SNES flair, But that Is okay! The sound Is still good, But Let's get to It shall we? The first level of the game uses some really awesome sounding techno music that really helps you prepare for the rest of the game itself, I do not know why, But It sounds so awesome! The instruments, The guitar riffs, Everything else! The music has never actually gotten on my nerves, and that Is for the best! I mean why would the music of a Nintendo game get on my nerves? Now for the sound effects, They are what you would expect from a shooter game like this, We have....The machine fire! PEW PEW PEW! We have....the nova bomb boom! Ka-BOOOOOOOOOOM! We have...the barrel roll! SWISH! Eitherway, They are still average sound effects no matter what! Lastly, Let's get to the voice acting, Yes, this game actually uses some voice acting, and Here It is! Through the course of the stage you will have to hear your teammates Falco slippy and peppy talk to each other about random stuff, and while It does get pretty fun throughout the game, It got somewhat old by the third level, And.....DO A BARREL ROLL! That line has been enclosed in our minds since we were little kids, and soon years later...It has became a popular Internet meme! We love you peppy hare forever and ever! Addictiveness-8/10 One of the first times I started playing this game, I just couldn't put it down for once! I say this because of the following reasons which I will say right now, Well first to start off, The game really feels new and really innovative for a shooter game! Most shooters that I have played at the time where just games where you control a ship up and down and shoot at the incoming targets and enemies, But this game Is 3D and thus Is bigger and offers tons of more to do and the levels are bigger and offer way more freedom. Second, It is just playing the game! The game really grows on you really fast and by the time you are landed on the fifth or so level, You want to keep this one in your SNES forever! The game just has that charm that you do not get in any other shooters like this, And that Is why I love It to death! May you rest In our hearts star fox, Rest in our hearts as one of the video games that taught all other games at the time about cruising around in a ship and shooting at stuff, The concept has been evaluated with this game, and many many more years later, the game still does a wonderful job! Depth-6/10 While It may seem that this game is big and offers tons of stuff to do and see, Well...the truth is....It actually doesn't offer much for the player! I'm just kidding with you guys! The day that I played and beat this game for the first ever time in my life, I was quite amazed by the excessive amount of content that this game offers! Well let's start off shall we? The game does offer over eight to ten huge big and vass worlds to explore, so the game will most likely take you about an hour and a half to pass In all. Any other extras besides that RedHotToddy? Oh yes your kind sir, The game does offer a training mode so you can brush up on your skills before you start playing the actual game itself! I actually had quite alot of fun with this mode, And ONCE again, I will tell you why! The length of this mode is pretty reasonable, The game does offer alot of stuff and such to master, so you will need some good practice before you fly out onto the battlefield! Well, Lastly, I have something else to tell you, I have completed this game over eight times in total! Yes, when I say that I have known this game for a very very long time, I really really mean It! I still play the game today over and over again, and It is because of the feel and overall gesture of the game itself! So anyways, for the depth section of a review on a game from my childhood, It seems that I have been running on and on about this game's depth, so anyways, That Is it for the depth! Whoa...that escualted pretty quickly? Haha...don't you guys think? Difficulty-6/10 The game has never really proven a challenge that big for a guy like ME...RedHotToddy, But in the later levels, the game has offered some challenge! And here Is what I am talking about, Well first, Let's start off with the framerate of the game itself! The game can run quite slow at times, causing you to accidentaly crash into something you never thought was coming. Second, It is some of those pesky bosses! The first boss was pretty self explanatory for the starting level of the game, But the later bosses of the game required some...Wait, scratch that, ALOT of thinking and timing before I can actually take the big guy down, The bosses...Like other bosses I have faced in video games, Also require a certain strategy to win yourself, Like the first battle of the game requires you to shoot at this red opening on the face of the enemy ship, It seemed to be pretty simple at first, But by the time I got to the last few hits, That guy just started going crazy on me! Shooting and everything! But as I have said In every single other game review of mine, The game should then get easier for me once you have mastered It all... Overall-8.5/10 So RedHotToddy, What did this game do for you? Did you like It? Did you think It was fun and set the bar for shooter games and beyond? Well to answer your question RHTF (RedHotToddy Fan) Yes Yes, Yes, And yes! The game was very fun and enjoyable, and I think you will enjoy It too! As the game itself has amazing graphics ESPECIALLY for 1993 or something like that? And such an awesome soundtrack, one that will get stuck in your head for years to come! The game also has some of the best gameplay for an rail shooter! I mean, then came games like resident evil four, which was another awesome rail shooter game! But anyways, Those are the reasons why I gave the game a 8.5 and I think It is time for RedHotToddy (Me the one and only) To sign off! Anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 136th review, and I will see you guys later! Ah, I remembered owning a super Nintendo, At the time that the console itself was released, The one game that every one of my friends was play was Super Mario world, Which many fans of Mario consider as the greatest Mario game of all time, I started trying out other games on the system, With the second being Donkey Kong country, which is once again another awesome 2D platformer game with charm and everything else! The only thing though was that I wanted to try something new, Everything else at the time had been officially played out, With the exception of this little game I just recently found a long time ago as a kid, When I was little I remember always playing this game when I was bored, When I got home from school, everywhere else! But does the game stand the test of time? Let's see! This Is Star Fox For the Super Nintendo!
Story-7/10 In a distance quadrant in the galaxy, we are introduced to a team known as the star fox, ran by, well, Animals! The group consists of fox mccloud, an anthopormic fox and the main leader of the group, falco Lombardi, one of fox's closest friends, Slippy today, the engineer of the team, Lastly, we have peppy hare. Together these gius work together to save the galaxy and make it a safe place for everyone. But today the team is about to face their toughest challenge yet, just wait and see! The world is currently under attack by the evil scientist andross! He is obsessed with world domination, and corneria is his definite next stop! So after peppy hare hears about this, then then creates the arwing, a special veichle used for space combat. However due to time constraints, he immediately sends fox and his team down to save the world. So will the team save the world, or will they drift into the dust? We are about to find that out just in the next 7 or so sections of this review guys! So stay tuned for more! Gameplay-7/10 For the most part, Star fox plays like a fast paced 3D rail shooter where you control the team's arwing through fast and furious worlds and locales, defeating enemies along the way and doing tons of other cool and wicked stuff. Controls are absolute pie, D-pad is move, A fires your nova bomb, B is retro rocket, X boosts, And Y shoots your missiles. Each level plays out similarly, you shoot enemies, get to the end, then face a huge and powerful boss, these guys are pretty tough but fun. The player will be accompanied by falco slippy and peppy in each level usually to give the player tips, Like shooting, dodging, and most importantly barrel rolls! The game stands out from all other shooters at the time, and here is why I say that, Well first, your ship now has a health meter where as in other shooters (Mostly gradius) everything kills you in one hit. Now that I really like! Tons of items stand in the team's way to help them, such as checkpoints which will restore your health, Extra lives which will...Well? Give you an extra chance to continue the game, and tons of other cool stuff. Now let me tell you what I do think of the game so far, I think the game is actually pretty fun for what It is worth! It introduces tons of new things to the table, Like the extra hit points and the overall feeling of the game as well! The game Is like I said...A 3D shooter game, which means that the player has all total freedom of the character and can move just about anywhere, not in one set place. So anyways, I personally think that the game is doing a wonderful job right now, especially since It stands out from all other SNES games at the time! Nice job nintendo! Sorry If I couldn't say much As I could for this gameplay section the time being, Because It has been a long time Since I've last played the game, So I've lost quite a bit of memories from this, But At least I did okay for here! Anyways, That is it for the gameplay! Graphics-9/10 This game was most famous for being the first ever Super Nintendo game to use a FX chip, I sort of forgot what that thing was as well, But whatever It is, I can't blame them! But anyways, The first second you boot up the game, you are introduced to QUITE a laggy intro, Seriously! Look at all of those Frames per second! But anyways, AS I was saying again! This game Is a 3D action shooter, and they did quite a good job bringing It all to the Super Nintendo. I mean just look at the game itself! It may look like everything in this game Is a polygon (Just like those purple dudes from Smash brothers) But that does not mean that the game Itself is bad! Each world and level after the last Is bursting with depth, vastness, exploration, and just fun in general! I still remember the first time I played this one level thinking that there was spat milk on the screen (Oh my god what was I thinking?) But that is just an example of the game's polygon look. This game believe It or not set the rule and bars of shooter games to come! According to wikipedia, But I really agree. We may would've gotten doom at the time as well, But for now, We just had to stick with this game! It is also fun looking at your buddy's messages throughout the course of the level as well, And thus "Do a barrel roll" Has then became a meme! The HUD for the game Is pretty self explanatory, It displays your current amount of energy left, How many bombs you have left, Your current amount of extra lives, and some sort of Blue bar which I forgot what does, If you know what the blue bar does, Just tell me! Sound-8/10 The sound of this game has Always been one of the best parts of the whole entire game in my opinion, and many many MANY years later, The sound of this game still holds up as one of the Super Nintendo best! The music may sound like your typical SNES flair, But that Is okay! The sound Is still good, But Let's get to It shall we? The first level of the game uses some really awesome sounding techno music that really helps you prepare for the rest of the game itself, I do not know why, But It sounds so awesome! The instruments, The guitar riffs, Everything else! The music has never actually gotten on my nerves, and that Is for the best! I mean why would the music of a Nintendo game get on my nerves? Now for the sound effects, They are what you would expect from a shooter game like this, We have....The machine fire! PEW PEW PEW! We have....the nova bomb boom! Ka-BOOOOOOOOOOM! We have...the barrel roll! SWISH! Eitherway, They are still average sound effects no matter what! Lastly, Let's get to the voice acting, Yes, this game actually uses some voice acting, and Here It is! Through the course of the stage you will have to hear your teammates Falco slippy and peppy talk to each other about random stuff, and while It does get pretty fun throughout the game, It got somewhat old by the third level, And.....DO A BARREL ROLL! That line has been enclosed in our minds since we were little kids, and soon years later...It has became a popular Internet meme! We love you peppy hare forever and ever! Addictiveness-8/10 One of the first times I started playing this game, I just couldn't put it down for once! I say this because of the following reasons which I will say right now, Well first to start off, The game really feels new and really innovative for a shooter game! Most shooters that I have played at the time where just games where you control a ship up and down and shoot at the incoming targets and enemies, But this game Is 3D and thus Is bigger and offers tons of more to do and the levels are bigger and offer way more freedom. Second, It is just playing the game! The game really grows on you really fast and by the time you are landed on the fifth or so level, You want to keep this one in your SNES forever! The game just has that charm that you do not get in any other shooters like this, And that Is why I love It to death! May you rest In our hearts star fox, Rest in our hearts as one of the video games that taught all other games at the time about cruising around in a ship and shooting at stuff, The concept has been evaluated with this game, and many many more years later, the game still does a wonderful job! Depth-6/10 While It may seem that this game is big and offers tons of stuff to do and see, Well...the truth is....It actually doesn't offer much for the player! I'm just kidding with you guys! The day that I played and beat this game for the first ever time in my life, I was quite amazed by the excessive amount of content that this game offers! Well let's start off shall we? The game does offer over eight to ten huge big and vass worlds to explore, so the game will most likely take you about an hour and a half to pass In all. Any other extras besides that RedHotToddy? Oh yes your kind sir, The game does offer a training mode so you can brush up on your skills before you start playing the actual game itself! I actually had quite alot of fun with this mode, And ONCE again, I will tell you why! The length of this mode is pretty reasonable, The game does offer alot of stuff and such to master, so you will need some good practice before you fly out onto the battlefield! Well, Lastly, I have something else to tell you, I have completed this game over eight times in total! Yes, when I say that I have known this game for a very very long time, I really really mean It! I still play the game today over and over again, and It is because of the feel and overall gesture of the game itself! So anyways, for the depth section of a review on a game from my childhood, It seems that I have been running on and on about this game's depth, so anyways, That Is it for the depth! Whoa...that escualted pretty quickly? Haha...don't you guys think? Difficulty-6/10 The game has never really proven a challenge that big for a guy like ME...RedHotToddy, But in the later levels, the game has offered some challenge! And here Is what I am talking about, Well first, Let's start off with the framerate of the game itself! The game can run quite slow at times, causing you to accidentaly crash into something you never thought was coming. Second, It is some of those pesky bosses! The first boss was pretty self explanatory for the starting level of the game, But the later bosses of the game required some...Wait, scratch that, ALOT of thinking and timing before I can actually take the big guy down, The bosses...Like other bosses I have faced in video games, Also require a certain strategy to win yourself, Like the first battle of the game requires you to shoot at this red opening on the face of the enemy ship, It seemed to be pretty simple at first, But by the time I got to the last few hits, That guy just started going crazy on me! Shooting and everything! But as I have said In every single other game review of mine, The game should then get easier for me once you have mastered It all... Overall-8.5/10 So RedHotToddy, What did this game do for you? Did you like It? Did you think It was fun and set the bar for shooter games and beyond? Well to answer your question RHTF (RedHotToddy Fan) Yes Yes, Yes, And yes! The game was very fun and enjoyable, and I think you will enjoy It too! As the game itself has amazing graphics ESPECIALLY for 1993 or something like that? And such an awesome soundtrack, one that will get stuck in your head for years to come! The game also has some of the best gameplay for an rail shooter! I mean, then came games like resident evil four, which was another awesome rail shooter game! But anyways, Those are the reasons why I gave the game a 8.5 and I think It is time for RedHotToddy (Me the one and only) To sign off! Anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 136th review, and I will see you guys later! |

Oh man, It's been so long ever since I have made a review on the vizzed board! This is mainly because I have been really really busy with tons of other stuff, like school, housework, you name It. But just because I have been busy does not mean that I will stop making wonderful and descr
Story-7/10 Our adventure begins in bikini bottom, the peaceful town where spongebob and his friends hang out and socialize. We are then shortly brungen to the chum bucket, where the evil plankton is planning his next scheme to take over the sea. Plankton is conducting the duplicatontron 3000, a big machine that will send robots out to take over the world, he is thinking of a checklist on something (They don't really tell us) But the only problem is that he sets on the machine, This all sounds fine and dandy as candy right? WRONG! Because little does he know that the machine has been set on "Disobey" mode! This sending the robots out to destroy the world. Which then brings us to spongebob squarepants, who is playing robots with his best friend Patrick star. They are productively playing until spongebob gets a really cool idea! He tells his big tubby friend "Wouldn't it be really cool if we had real robots to play with?" Unfourtanetly they (Or just spongebob at least) are in a shock when spongebob wakes up the next morning to find his whole house destroyed by those pesky robots from earlier! Will spongebob and his friends stop the evil robotic army of robots? Will they save all of mankind? Let's just get On with it shall we folks? Gameplay-8/10 In this 3D action adventure platformer, players will get a chance to take control of spongebob squarepants, Patrick star, and sandy cheeks, as you guide the three through big and amazingly vass levels and worlds, collecting spatulas, defeating robots and baddies, and just exploring in general! The controls are your stuff, Left analog stick moves, Right analog stick controls the camera, X is jump, O is special ability, And Square is attack, that is all. Now for the actual gameplay! The game plays very similarly to games like super Mario 64 and banjo kazooie in that the player must control the titular hero through big levels composed of many quests and tasks to accomplish, each paying off with a special object of currency (Spatulas in this case) Quests arrange from shutting down a computer security system to finding a certain amount of objects (I:E kids, steering wheels, etc) Tons of props and such will help our heroes along the way, Such as trampolines which will spring the player high up into the air, Bus stops which will let the player switch between spongebob Patrick and sandy, buttons which will activate certain machinery, and so much more! Now let's get to the actual characters and their contributes, Spongebob being the leader of the group, can attack with a bubble wand, ground pound with his feet, and launch himself into the air with a head bash. Patrick being the muscles of the group, Can pick up heavy objects, slam the ground with his belly, and well, Yeah. Lastly, sandy being the brains of the group, can use her lasso to help get rid of obstacles in the way, And she can use it to swing through the air. Every once in a while you will have to fight a powerful boss, each fight gets harder and harder as the game progresses and they all have their own strategy, such as head butting a button, or dodging attacks until him or her tires out, either way, the bosses still offer lots of fun! Lastly, spatulas and shiny objects are clear essentials in the duo's quest, as they will need this stuff to grant access to newer and newer areas, much like Super Mario 64's stars or Banjo kazooie's jiggies (Or at least I think) Now while the game doesn't quiet stack up to other platformers like the latter, you do got to admit the game still captures the spongbob feel we all know and love! Graphics-9/10 My eyes are visually dazzled, Let alone just looking at the screenshots for this game, I had no actual idea what to expect, But once I popped this game in my PS2, I was amazed! The game really captures the eptinomic spongebob squarepants feel and charm that the cartoon series Itself has always maintained, and that Is a huge plus when making a cartoon/Licensed game. But let's just get the graphics down shall we? Each world and locale after the last Is filled with color, depth, vastness, and just overall charm and flair to them! You will explore through the green and sunny jellyfish fields, The busy street of the downtown bikini bottom, The sunny and water infested goo lagoon, and so many more places from the TV series! The thing about the levels though is how much they offer, There are about +7 tasks to do per level and just completing all of them feels so rewarding after all your work, Big levels, a huge staple of the 3D Mario titles. Now let's get to the character models, While they are pretty plain and such, they are still pretty good! They look exactly like what you would see on the TV, and that is another huge plus! Spongebob is still your lovable yellow sponge with a carefree attitude, Patrick is your dumb yet lovable sidekick, And sandy is your typical female genius who also helps out the latter through their problems. Lastly, The cutscenes, and boy are they fun to watch! It actually feels like you are watching an actual episode of the show, with the funny humor and lovable characters. The HUD is pretty self explanatory, It displays how much health you have left, How many shiny objects you have collected, Your amount of spatulas, And other stuff from certain levels?(I:E Shutdown buttons in the mermalair, Kids in the goo lagoon) Sound-8/10 Upon starting up the game, You are greeted to what seems to be without a doubt one of the greatest renditions of the spongebob squarepants theme that I have ever heard in my life! Seriously, I'm not joking! All though the sailor may sound a little different, It is no problem. But anyways, Sound is like always another part of the game that THQ just nailed on the head really really hard, The music in the game sounds really spongebob-esque and will most likely get stuck in your head after a very long time. Such as the happy and bright streets of downtown bikini bottom, The dark and gloomy trench filled with monsters and other stuff guaranteed to give you nighmares, and one of my personal favorites, Spongebob's exotic dream world! The music for each of the levels really helps you remember the actual local that you are traversing, Never has the music ever gotten on my nerves even one time throughout playing the game, and that Is awesome! Now for the sound effects, Well, what to expect? They are by the numbers, but affordable! We have bong like sounds for whenever you jump, Bashes for whenever you brake a crate open, Splash noises for whenever spongebob ground pounds, and many other typical ones, they aren't bad, but they aren't good either! Lastly, The voice acting, and this is without a doubt the best part of the whole entire game itself! Like the TV series, We have Tom Kenny as spongebob squarepants, Bill faggerbakke as Patrick star, Carolyn Lawrence as sandy cheeks, Rodger bumpass as Squidward tentacles, Clancy brown as Mr krabs, and lastly, we have Doug Lawrence as plankton. Perfect attendance with the voice acting here THQ! As always, you guys never fail to impress and We hope to have the whole cast survive for even longer! Addictiveness-8/10 The day that I first started playing this game, I just could not put it down! Could it be because of the amazing feeling of the game and how much It really pays homage to It's source material? Could be! But as we were saying, The game is really really fun and here are some reasons why, The first reason is because of the overall feel and atomposphere of the game, The game feels like an interactive version of the TV series and It really shows, I mean just look at how much stuff from the show that appears in the game itself! HECK, They even got back the bus gag from the rock bottom episode into the actual level itself! Second, It is just controlling the characters of the game, It is not everyday that you get to play as the characters from the show and actually do what you see them do everywhere else, It's just unexpected. Depth-9/10 This is without a shadow of a doubt one of the biggest kids games that I have ever played in my whole entire life! Here is why I say so! Well let's get started shall we? The game offers over +15 levels to explore through each with over 7-9 challenging and fun tasks, so the game will most likely take you about 4-7 hours to finish in total (Depending on how much stuff you plan to go for throughout the course of the game) Second, the amount of spatulas, There are about 100+ spatulas in the whole game spread over 15+ levels like I said, and unlocking all o the spatulas gives you a special ending for the next time that you beat the game. Other stuff to go through Oh yeah! Patrick's socks! Over the course of each level, There are tons of Patrick star's stinky and smelly socks hidden throughout the level, and once you collect a certain amount of them, you can go to Patrick's house and he will give you a golden spatula for your hard work and patience! There are about 90+ socks to find throughout the whole game, so be really prepared or else! Lastly, Mr krabs missions, Mr krabs will be standing by the shady shoals retirement home in the HUB world, and here is where the shiny objects play their biggest role! You can trade in your shiny objects to Mr krabs for some sweet rewards! Okay maybe I was exagerrating the word "Sweet" A little too much, and all he gives you is just a spatula, It's still pretty cool though, you got to admit. Difficulty-7/10 The game has never really been that easy for me for my whole time owning this game, and so has It been for the rest of all the other spongebob fans I know, They have considered this game AND It's sequel as extremely irritating and mind numbingly difficult, Speaking of the word "Sequel" I shall review this game's sequel once I get the time! But anyways, Here are some levels that have really gave me the cold shoulder throughout the days, The first would have to be the spinning towers of power mission from the mermalair, Here you must smack these towers in a "Certain" type of order, And let me tell you this Is not simple at all, I mean How were fans of the series supposed to know how to do this back when the game was first released? It is as Mr krabs would say...MUTINY. The second mission I recall having trouble on is the Get aloft there matey challenge from flying Dutchman's world, Here you are traversing two broken pirate ships, each with 2 buttons to press, Seems simple right? WRONG! Not because you need sandy for this mission, That is okay as the rest of the game's missions have you as spongebob and Patrick, But when you starting swinging your way to the ships, ALL and I say ALL of the torpedo robots start going after you! And by the time you are above the ship, They shoot you down with a missile, thus leading you falling to your death. And when you start gliding your perilous way to the mission, You are are already throwing yourself in the fiery evil pits of evil! Okay, I may would've gone completely overboard with this section of the game by RedHotToddy standards, But in the end, The game shouldn't give you much trouble despite all those minor setbacks. Overall-8.4/10 So what did I think of this spongebob squarepants video game? I personally think that this game is one of the best licensed games that I have ever played in a while! I mean seriously! The game feels like spongebob, looks like spongebob, sounds like spongebob, you get the point! But anyways, I gave this game an 8.4 because how much It pays homage to It's source material, How much fun and challenge It offers, and just everything else In general. So anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 135th review on vizzed board, and see you guys later in my 136th review! I now for sure that my next review will be even BIGGER then this one I just made! But as I was saying, bye everyone! Oh man, It's been so long ever since I have made a review on the vizzed board! This is mainly because I have been really really busy with tons of other stuff, like school, housework, you name It. But just because I have been busy does not mean that I will stop making wonderful and descr

Okay maybe I was exagerrating the word "Sweet" A little too much, and all he gives you is just a spatula, It's still pretty cool though, you got to admit. Difficulty-7/10 The game has never really been that easy for me for my whole time owning this game, and so has It been for the rest of all the other spongebob fans I know, They have considered this game AND It's sequel as extremely irritating and mind numbingly difficult, Speaking of the word "Sequel" I shall review this game's sequel once I get the time! But anyways, Here are some levels that have really gave me the cold shoulder throughout the days, The first would have to be the spinning towers of power mission from the mermalair, Here you must smack these towers in a "Certain" type of order, And let me tell you this Is not simple at all, I mean How were fans of the series supposed to know how to do this back when the game was first released? It is as Mr krabs would say...MUTINY. The second mission I recall having trouble on is the Get aloft there matey challenge from flying Dutchman's world, Here you are traversing two broken pirate ships, each with 2 buttons to press, Seems simple right? WRONG! Not because you need sandy for this mission, That is okay as the rest of the game's missions have you as spongebob and Patrick, But when you starting swinging your way to the ships, ALL and I say ALL of the torpedo robots start going after you! And by the time you are above the ship, They shoot you down with a missile, thus leading you falling to your death. And when you start gliding your perilous way to the mission, You are are already throwing yourself in the fiery evil pits of evil! Okay, I may would've gone completely overboard with this section of the game by RedHotToddy standards, But in the end, The game shouldn't give you much trouble despite all those minor setbacks. Overall-8.4/10 So what did I think of this spongebob squarepants video game? I personally think that this game is one of the best licensed games that I have ever played in a while! I mean seriously! The game feels like spongebob, looks like spongebob, sounds like spongebob, you get the point! But anyways, I gave this game an 8.4 because how much It pays homage to It's source material, How much fun and challenge It offers, and just everything else In general. So anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 135th review on vizzed board, and see you guys later in my 136th review! I now for sure that my next review will be even BIGGER then this one I just made! But as I was saying, bye everyone! |

Ah, how many of you guys remember that amazing platformer for the Nintendo 64 called conker's bad fur day? Remember how much mature content the game had? As in swearing, blood, breasts, and all other kinds of adult stuff? Yeah, sure all of you guys on the vizzed board have played this game at least once in your life (Haha the game was Rated M thus only adults could play it.) But conker did not start off this way guys! It seems that before all the fur day treatment he got with the Nintendo 64 back in 2001, Conker was actually supposed to be a kid friendly G-rated game for kids AND adults to enjoy! This game would be called "Twelve tails of conker" or something like that, But It was eventually scrapped and we got a conker adventure for the game boy color, How could've this game went? Let's find out! This Is Conker's pocket tales for the Game boy color!
Story-7/10 Normally I have alot to say about the story of a video game, but quite frankly, I really don't have much to say about this game in hand! But I'll tray to say as much as I can, that way my review can be over +1500 words and my friends here will say good things about me! Alrighty, here it goes! One day conker and berri (Who look way different then they do in the next game) are at conker's place celebrating his birthday party (Yeah, because conker is going to grow way older and maturer in the next few adventures) but before the two suirrels even get to cut the cake and eat it, an evil villain comes to conker's house unannounced and kidnaps conker's girlfriend berri! It seems to be that this evil doer is none other then the despicable aptly-named evil acorn! (Haha, for lack of a better name.) He is known for acting many terible and bad deeds throughout conker's world, and this probably may be without a shadow of a doubt one of his worst deeds yet, so you have to work hard on this one! So now that you guys on the vizzed board know what the emphasis on behind this whole entire game Is, I have one question to ask you guys, will Conker save the day and get back his girlfriend, his presents, and his birthday? Let's find out shall we folks? Gameplay-7/10 Conker's pocket tales is an isometric cartoony adventure game where you control conker through big worlds, collecting presents and defeating tons of baddies along the way. Controls work pretty good, A is jump, B lets you attack, and the Graphics-7/10 At the time that this game was released, there weren't many games to choose from for me to play on the game boy color, and when I first played this game, I was actually suprised by this game! The game does play from an isometric view much like some other games I haved played in the past, and believe it or not, Rare did a good job with this game! As you progress through the game, you'll explore through big colorful areas that are big, fun, vast, and just a blast to explore! You'll explore through conker's town, a big and dusty gluch, a big river, and tons of other places! Now to the actual character models, they look pretty average to be honest, Conker looks nice, the enemies look typical, and well, Yeah! Now there are SOME problems I have the graphics, and here they are! In the first or so level of the game, There were these rotten and old trees with the branches sticking out really really low, and you think you could pass under them right? WRONG! These actually act as invisible walls believe It or not, and It baffled me on my first playthrough of the game, But now that I have completely mastered the game, I know all of the level's tricks and secrets! The HUD is pretty self explanatory, It displays how much acorns you have, and well, That is pretty much it, Not else Is really displayed here. Lastly, the game was most notably released as a dual-format cartridge, Which means you can play the game in black and white on the original Game Boy, Or you can play the game the way It was meant to be played, on the colorful Game Boy Color. Sound-6/10 When you first boot up the game, You are greeted to some really happy sounding and really bright and cheery music that most notably overshadows the dark and blunt Conker's bad fur day, Not that it is a bad thing or anything, But the game feels that It was meant to be a game for little kids and people who probably did not grow up with the orange squirrel. But as we were saying, Each level in the game has It's own little bright happy and cheery theme to It that actually helps you concentrate on the level and everything else about It, The music in the first level Is actually a remix of the first level theme from the tech demo video of Twelve tails of conker! Just listen to It. Other levels like the gulch or the river also have fairly cartoony and typical sounding music that sounds like your conker-fare. Now for the sound effects, they are some of the most plain that you can get in a Game boy color game for the time, but at least there are sound effects! You get some plain sounding beeps for when you fire your acorns, Quiet little 8-bit explosion like sounds for when you dig in a hole, and well, It is still Okay. Now for the one problem I have with the sound, As addressed by one other reviewer, Everytime you resume play after reading a message in the game or such, The music will actually restart and restart and restart! I really didn't know what to expect when this first happened, But I didn't question It and just kept on playing. Addictiveness-7/10 The game has actually offered a fair amount of fun for me throughout the quest, and here is what I mean. The first emphasis of fun that I found throughout the game is the item collecting and exploring, The game feels like a traditional rare game for the N64 like banjo kazooie, You know, Big worlds, tons of items to collect, and lots of puzzles to solve throughout the game world! Second, It is the overall presentation of the game, When you are first playing the game, You notice how bright and cartoony It looks, in contrast to the next game, and that made the game even more fun then It already has been for me! Rare, I just wanted to tell you thank you for making all of these cool funny and really awesome platformer games, I have always had fun with these games and I don't know anyone who despises any of them! Again, thank you! Depth-5/10 The lasting appeal of the game was believe It or not one of the very very low points of the game for me, I actually beat this game a couple of times, And Despite getting that rewarding feeling of awesomeness after your long and tedious adventure, There has to be some other reason to come back for more! And well, Here Is where you are right my friend! Okay, what am I even doing or saying? Let's start this section. The game offers over six distinct worlds each with over 20 presents and enduring challenges to play through in the said world, So the game will most likely take you about 1-2 hours to beat at least, and with the added save game file feature, It makes everything even more fun then It is! Second and lastly, The presents, the game offers over 120 presents to collect in all, And collecting all of them is key to earning 100% and as I have addressed before, It feels so rewarding just getting all the presents in a world! You just don't get the feeling in any other adventure game like this! THIS is the game that makes you feel proud for all your patience and endurance, And that is what makes It fun and enjoyable. Difficulty-8/10 Oh god, if there is one point of the adventure itself that maybe the most reasonably rated sections then before, It would have to be the difficulty level! Oh my god, I remembered having so much trouble with this game as a kid! And I still have some trouble today, I haven't offically "Mastered" the game by any means, But I am still okay at It. Some puzzles and such throughout the game are really really tough, and will take some time and thinking before completely mastering them, It was pretty fun matching up all of the blocks earlier in the game, But by the time i got to around the fourth or so level, It just got tiring and worn out you know. Same goes for the minigames, Some of them have you shooting at plain looking archery targets and trying to get a high score before the time runs out, and well, At least I have this mini-game mastered! Somewhat...But still...That Is for now. Overall-7.6/10 So in general, what did I think of this starter adventure for the cute and orange squirrel? Well personally, I think that this game was just well, I dunno, MARVOLOUS as conker the squirrel himself would say, Hey conker, what do you think of this first game of your's, you think It was great? You think rare treated you right with this game? Conker says yup! But anyways, I gave this game a 7.6 because It is fun, puzzling, and It offers alot to do throughout the entire ride through! And I know you guys will agree with me here, So anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 134th review on the vizzed board, and well, I will see you guys later or so In my 134th review on the site! I have been having so much fun with reviewing games here, and the appeal will just never die out for me! But anyways, bye guys! I hope you guys liked this one Like you do with all my other ones! Ah, how many of you guys remember that amazing platformer for the Nintendo 64 called conker's bad fur day? Remember how much mature content the game had? As in swearing, blood, breasts, and all other kinds of adult stuff?

Ah, It is the year 2002, I had recently been working on my whole PS2 collection, I had alot of stuff to play on the system, But not really the time to play It though! But just you wait and see, Because I was just watching my TV one day, and I just saw a commercial for what seems to be a radical action adventure shooter game by SCEA! My mind was completely baffled by this game, I didn't know what to expect let alone just watching the trailers, But sooner or later, I just knew that I had to play this game, For my whole entire life would NEVER be complete without It! Now I know, I know, what Is this game you speak of RedHotToddy? Well guys, Just watch! This Is Ratchet and clank for the Playstation 2!
Story-8/10 Our adventure begins on the humble world of planet veldin. Our humble hero ratchet the lombax is repairing his airship but he discovers he is missing a very very important part to the ship, the ignition! Which then brings us to our next issue, Planet quartu is where all of the world's robots are created, the machine itself then accidentaly breaks down thus releasing a little tiny robot named clank, Our little robot friend cluelessly investigates around the factory and finds a little robot with clues on the planet. After watching the video, Clank takes an escape pod back to earth, only to be chased by two other enemy ships, they shoot down clank, causing him to crash land onto the planet Veldin, which then brings us back to ratchet, who curiously watches the shy little robot crash onto the planet. After getting to the location of the crash site, Ratchet finds the quiet and deactivated clank. Clank then wakes up and tells ratchet about saving the world, which then finally?brings us to our final conflict! Clank finally tells ratchet that their home is under attack by the evil Ultimate Supreme Excutive Chairman Drek (Or you can just call him the USECD for short.) This little nugget dude is planning to destroy the planet and make room for his brand new planet! (Kind of like how like In Sonic adventure 1 where Robotnik wants to destroy the city And create Robotnik Land.) So now that we know the whole story, Will ratchet and clank save the day? Will they finally prove their worth as heroes? Let's just get on with it shall we folks! Gameplay-8/10 In this 3D action adventure game, You will the on the role of our heroes ratchet the clueless and his robot friend clank, as you guide our two heroes through big planets and worlds, defeating enemies, and collecting tons of goodies along the way. The controls are good! You use the left?Analog to move, The right?analog lets you control the camera,You press X To jump, O to fire your Weapon/Gun, Square to swing your wrench, and Triangle to bring up your inventory. Now let's get to the very high point of the game, and those are the weapons! Ratchet and clank will have to fight evil with tons of cool and destructive weapons like the Blaster which works like a trusty little long range pistol, The devastator which works like a big powerful missle launcher that does huge damage and explosions, The pyrocitor which flames and burns your enemies to ashes, and many more! Bolts are a huge essential in the lombax and robot's quest, as they will grant you access to cooler bigger and much more better weapons later in the game! Boss fights are also pretty cool as well, Most of them require lots of timing thinking and strategy to beat, Such as the snagglebeast fight. There are tons of baddies That will get in the duo's way, Such as sand sharks, robots, toads, and all other sorts of nasty baddies! Every once in a while the duo will have to split up into their own little mini-levels, In some instances clank will have to solve puzzles and get to the end of the level using his trust senses and gadgetbots. Ratchet even gets a whole level to himself where he must traverse and explore his?way through a big rainy?city, there are also?fierce thunderstorms?occuring?in the city, so clank will have to stay in the ship?or else!?There are plenty of mini-games to go around as well, Such as hover-board racing, turret shooting, and many more. I will be honest here, this game really does remind me of spyro the dragon alot! It might be because both games were made by the same developer? The big levels and amount of stuff to do? Yeah! That could be it! Graphics-9/10 Oh wow, It has been about 11 or so years since this game has came out, and This is still one of the most dazzling games I have ever high my eyes on in the PlayStation 2's lifetime! I am not kidding or trolling with you guys here! The game follows a very very cartoony and sci-fi feel to It that you just don't get in any other adventure game at the time! And that Is what makes the game itself unique and standing out from other games! But anyways, Each level after level Is big, colorful, vast, beautiful, and just offers tons to do and see which make the levels ready to be explored for your enjoyment, The levels themselves are pretty darn fun! You'll guide ratchet and clank through a big city, a big and dangerous like gauntlet which only a true man can complete, A groovy and tropical island overrun with tons of baddies and such, and well! Yeah! Now for the actual character design and such, Well, this is the first game, So there aren't that much characters to begin with, But for what there Is, We have Ratchet, a yellow and furry lombax like creature with a huge knack for adventure, Clank, a little tiny and intelligent robot that helps his friend throughout the ride, And we finally have Chairman drek, Ratchet and clank's arch-enemy who wants to do anything to take out the duo and destroy them! The HUD in the game is pretty typical, It displays how many life points you have left, How much bolts you have collected, and your current weapon and ammo left in the weapon. Sound-9/10 Let's all face It, My ears are pretty much dire from most platformers that I have played on the PS2 lately, But If there Is one thing that the developers really nailed on the head when It came to this game, It would really have to be the original soundtrack! Oh yes, My all time favorite part of the game! Throughout the course of the game, Each world Is presented with It's own personal and catchy theme To It, Examples Include The blarg station, which has a really errie and spooky feel to It that somewhat haunts you as you run down the halls of the ship, We have the sci-fi and cartoony sounding Metropolis which really prepares you for the rest of the entire game, We have the tall skies of oltanis, and well, You get the point! The songs in this game are all still outstanding none the less! Now for the sound effects, I really have to hand It to them, The sound effects, while not really remarkable by any means, are still pretty fun! You get a big boom like noise when you burst open a crate, We have the weapon sound effects which get more fun as the game progresses (I:E Blaster-Pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew, Devestator-Zoom-ka-BOOM! And so on!) Lastly, the voice acting, and this has got to be also another one of my favorite parts of the game! All the characters in the game have very likable voices that never get tiring or annoying! We have James Arnold Taylor (Johnny test, Star wars) As ratchet, We have David Kaye (Make way for noddy, X-men) as Clank, and we have Kevin Michael Richardson (Cleveland show, Lilo and stitch) As chairman drek! Ratchet sounds like your typical wise-cracking yet crazy and lovable protagonist, Clank sounds like your typical quiet yet really smart and intelligent sidekick man, And Chairman drek sounds like your really tough and hard as nails antagonist who really wants to make mincemeat out of our heroes. Addictiveness-10/10 This game really deserves a perfect ten of the addictiveness factor! And You guys really know why I rated this section as It is! Well here Is why, Well first we will start off with the overall presentation of the game, The game itself feels really cartoony ,sci-fi, and just really cute that you'll easily get addicted the day you start playing! My second reason is because of the WEAPONS! And I am sure all of you guys here on the vizzed board will agree, The weapons rock! We have pistols, rocket launchers, flame-throwers, bombs, minions to protect you, and all sorts of other cool stuff! I cannot take anymore how much fun It is just using the weapons! It feels if you are playing and tooling around with them just for your own enjoyment, and that has truely been an all-time staple of the series! In fact, this Is what has been keeping the whole entire series alive ever since! Depth-9/10 Probably without a shadow of a doubt one of the biggest platformers that I have played for the playstation 2! This game has alot to offer for you, and Here I will list everything one-by one! Well first, Let's start with the length! The game is overall 20 levels long and each of the levels last for a reasonable amount of time, So the game will most likely take you about 2-5 hours to rip through in a single or so sitting. Second, Gold bolts! Each level has these special colored gold bolts which will unlock some really cool suprises later in the game! (I will get to that later.) Third, It is the insane amount of weapons and gadgets available for you to play with! There are overall 15 insane and wacky gadgets not fit for this world! We have the blaster which works as a good long range blaster gun, We have the devestator which is an amazing rocket launcher that is good for wiping out storms of enemies, We have the pyrocitor which flames and burns your enemies into crashes and ashes, We have the tesla claw which electrify multiple baddies all at once, We have the bomb glove which is a good short range grenade, We have the decoy glove which distracts your enemies and makes them bite at the decoy itself, and well, Those are at least a majority of all of them! Now to the gold bolts we were talking about, Once you have a certain amount of them, You can go to this special room that lets you purchase them all new GOLD versions of the weapons you already have! But before that, You will have to play the game In challenge mode, A special mode where you can play through the game one more time but with all of your previous bolts, weapons, and everything else you had saved with you from your first playthrough of the game! This Is without a doubt one of the biggest games I have played on the PS2, And all of you on vizzed board will agree! Oh yeah, There are also these Skill points which can be unlocked after completing certain tasks in the levels! That Is all! Difficulty-7/10 The difficulty level in this game is all fair and through throughout the entire quest, As you adventure through your quest, It starts out all pretty easy, But as soon as you get to the blackwater city, Things start heating up a bit! And here is why! Well first, It is your amount of hit points available, You only have about 4 hit points before you are knocked out, that Is not alot, but still! It was then dominated by the new and fresh health and armor system in the newer games! Second, It is some of the gold bolts and skill points throughout the adventure! Some certain skill points like the "Tricky" one in the blackwater city have been cited as the hardest skill point in the whole entire game, but It is possible! But Is there is one thing that has troubled me through my whole life of playing the game, It would have to be the final level of the game! The day I arrived here, I spent more then my whole night trying to beat this travesty, And when I finally got done with all of that, I got to chairman drek! And he was such a complete nighmare to beat! But anyways, If you are pretty good at platformers and such, Then this game shouldn't give you any trouble! For now that Is... Overall-9.5/10 So in general, I think ratchet and clank is without a doubt one of the finest platformer games that you can get on the playstation 2 today! This game did pretty moderate and good back then, And I really agree! But anyways, Let's get to my scoring reasons! I gave this game a 9.5 because It is fun, addicting, fresh and innovative, and just an awesome game that has really redefined the definition of "3D platformer"! SCEA has once again done It again and I know they will next time! So anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 133th game review on the vizzed board, and well, See you guys later in my 134th review! Ah, It is the year 2002, I had recently been working on my whole PS2 collection, I had alot of stuff to play on the system, But not really the time to play It though! But just you wait and see, Because I was just watching my TV one day, and I just saw a commercial for what seems to be a radical action adventure shooter game by SCEA! My mind was completely baffled by this game, I didn't know what to expect let alone just watching the trailers, But sooner or later, I just knew that I had to play this game, For my whole entire life would NEVER be complete without It! Now I know, I know, what Is this game you speak of RedHotToddy? Well guys, Just watch! This Is Ratchet and clank for the Playstation 2!
Story-8/10 Our adventure begins on the humble world of planet veldin. Our humble hero ratchet the lombax is repairing his airship but he discovers he is missing a very very important part to the ship, the ignition! Which then brings us to our next issue, Planet quartu is where all of the world's robots are created, the machine itself then accidentaly breaks down thus releasing a little tiny robot named clank, Our little robot friend cluelessly investigates around the factory and finds a little robot with clues on the planet. After watching the video, Clank takes an escape pod back to earth, only to be chased by two other enemy ships, they shoot down clank, causing him to crash land onto the planet Veldin, which then brings us back to ratchet, who curiously watches the shy little robot crash onto the planet. After getting to the location of the crash site, Ratchet finds the quiet and deactivated clank. Clank then wakes up and tells ratchet about saving the world, which then finally?brings us to our final conflict! Clank finally tells ratchet that their home is under attack by the evil Ultimate Supreme Excutive Chairman Drek (Or you can just call him the USECD for short.) This little nugget dude is planning to destroy the planet and make room for his brand new planet! (Kind of like how like In Sonic adventure 1 where Robotnik wants to destroy the city And create Robotnik Land.) So now that we know the whole story, Will ratchet and clank save the day? Will they finally prove their worth as heroes? Let's just get on with it shall we folks! Gameplay-8/10 In this 3D action adventure game, You will the on the role of our heroes ratchet the clueless and his robot friend clank, as you guide our two heroes through big planets and worlds, defeating enemies, and collecting tons of goodies along the way. The controls are good! You use the left?Analog to move, The right?analog lets you control the camera,You press X To jump, O to fire your Weapon/Gun, Square to swing your wrench, and Triangle to bring up your inventory. Now let's get to the very high point of the game, and those are the weapons! Ratchet and clank will have to fight evil with tons of cool and destructive weapons like the Blaster which works like a trusty little long range pistol, The devastator which works like a big powerful missle launcher that does huge damage and explosions, The pyrocitor which flames and burns your enemies to ashes, and many more! Bolts are a huge essential in the lombax and robot's quest, as they will grant you access to cooler bigger and much more better weapons later in the game! Boss fights are also pretty cool as well, Most of them require lots of timing thinking and strategy to beat, Such as the snagglebeast fight. There are tons of baddies That will get in the duo's way, Such as sand sharks, robots, toads, and all other sorts of nasty baddies! Every once in a while the duo will have to split up into their own little mini-levels, In some instances clank will have to solve puzzles and get to the end of the level using his trust senses and gadgetbots. Ratchet even gets a whole level to himself where he must traverse and explore his?way through a big rainy?city, there are also?fierce thunderstorms?occuring?in the city, so clank will have to stay in the ship?or else!?There are plenty of mini-games to go around as well, Such as hover-board racing, turret shooting, and many more. I will be honest here, this game really does remind me of spyro the dragon alot! It might be because both games were made by the same developer? The big levels and amount of stuff to do? Yeah! That could be it! Graphics-9/10 Oh wow, It has been about 11 or so years since this game has came out, and This is still one of the most dazzling games I have ever high my eyes on in the PlayStation 2's lifetime! I am not kidding or trolling with you guys here! The game follows a very very cartoony and sci-fi feel to It that you just don't get in any other adventure game at the time! And that Is what makes the game itself unique and standing out from other games! But anyways, Each level after level Is big, colorful, vast, beautiful, and just offers tons to do and see which make the levels ready to be explored for your enjoyment, The levels themselves are pretty darn fun! You'll guide ratchet and clank through a big city, a big and dangerous like gauntlet which only a true man can complete, A groovy and tropical island overrun with tons of baddies and such, and well! Yeah! Now for the actual character design and such, Well, this is the first game, So there aren't that much characters to begin with, But for what there Is, We have Ratchet, a yellow and furry lombax like creature with a huge knack for adventure, Clank, a little tiny and intelligent robot that helps his friend throughout the ride, And we finally have Chairman drek, Ratchet and clank's arch-enemy who wants to do anything to take out the duo and destroy them! The HUD in the game is pretty typical, It displays how many life points you have left, How much bolts you have collected, and your current weapon and ammo left in the weapon. Sound-9/10 Let's all face It, My ears are pretty much dire from most platformers that I have played on the PS2 lately, But If there Is one thing that the developers really nailed on the head when It came to this game, It would really have to be the original soundtrack! Oh yes, My all time favorite part of the game! Throughout the course of the game, Each world Is presented with It's own personal and catchy theme To It, Examples Include The blarg station, which has a really errie and spooky feel to It that somewhat haunts you as you run down the halls of the ship, We have the sci-fi and cartoony sounding Metropolis which really prepares you for the rest of the entire game, We have the tall skies of oltanis, and well, You get the point! The songs in this game are all still outstanding none the less! Now for the sound effects, I really have to hand It to them, The sound effects, while not really remarkable by any means, are still pretty fun! You get a big boom like noise when you burst open a crate, We have the weapon sound effects which get more fun as the game progresses (I:E Blaster-Pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew, Devestator-Zoom-ka-BOOM! And so on!) Lastly, the voice acting, and this has got to be also another one of my favorite parts of the game! All the characters in the game have very likable voices that never get tiring or annoying! We have James Arnold Taylor (Johnny test, Star wars) As ratchet, We have David Kaye (Make way for noddy, X-men) as Clank, and we have Kevin Michael Richardson (Cleveland show, Lilo and stitch) As chairman drek! Ratchet sounds like your typical wise-cracking yet crazy and lovable protagonist, Clank sounds like your typical quiet yet really smart and intelligent sidekick man, And Chairman drek sounds like your really tough and hard as nails antagonist who really wants to make mincemeat out of our heroes. Addictiveness-10/10 This game really deserves a perfect ten of the addictiveness factor! And You guys really know why I rated this section as It is! Well here Is why, Well first we will start off with the overall presentation of the game, The game itself feels really cartoony ,sci-fi, and just really cute that you'll easily get addicted the day you start playing! My second reason is because of the WEAPONS! And I am sure all of you guys here on the vizzed board will agree, The weapons rock! We have pistols, rocket launchers, flame-throwers, bombs, minions to protect you, and all sorts of other cool stuff! I cannot take anymore how much fun It is just using the weapons! It feels if you are playing and tooling around with them just for your own enjoyment, and that has truely been an all-time staple of the series! In fact, this Is what has been keeping the whole entire series alive ever since! Depth-9/10 Probably without a shadow of a doubt one of the biggest platformers that I have played for the playstation 2! This game has alot to offer for you, and Here I will list everything one-by one! Well first, Let's start with the length! The game is overall 20 levels long and each of the levels last for a reasonable amount of time, So the game will most likely take you about 2-5 hours to rip through in a single or so sitting. Second, Gold bolts! Each level has these special colored gold bolts which will unlock some really cool suprises later in the game! (I will get to that later.) Third, It is the insane amount of weapons and gadgets available for you to play with! There are overall 15 insane and wacky gadgets not fit for this world! We have the blaster which works as a good long range blaster gun, We have the devestator which is an amazing rocket launcher that is good for wiping out storms of enemies, We have the pyrocitor which flames and burns your enemies into crashes and ashes, We have the tesla claw which electrify multiple baddies all at once, We have the bomb glove which is a good short range grenade, We have the decoy glove which distracts your enemies and makes them bite at the decoy itself, and well, Those are at least a majority of all of them! Now to the gold bolts we were talking about, Once you have a certain amount of them, You can go to this special room that lets you purchase them all new GOLD versions of the weapons you already have! But before that, You will have to play the game In challenge mode, A special mode where you can play through the game one more time but with all of your previous bolts, weapons, and everything else you had saved with you from your first playthrough of the game! This Is without a doubt one of the biggest games I have played on the PS2, And all of you on vizzed board will agree! Oh yeah, There are also these Skill points which can be unlocked after completing certain tasks in the levels! That Is all! Difficulty-7/10 The difficulty level in this game is all fair and through throughout the entire quest, As you adventure through your quest, It starts out all pretty easy, But as soon as you get to the blackwater city, Things start heating up a bit! And here is why! Well first, It is your amount of hit points available, You only have about 4 hit points before you are knocked out, that Is not alot, but still! It was then dominated by the new and fresh health and armor system in the newer games! Second, It is some of the gold bolts and skill points throughout the adventure! Some certain skill points like the "Tricky" one in the blackwater city have been cited as the hardest skill point in the whole entire game, but It is possible! But Is there is one thing that has troubled me through my whole life of playing the game, It would have to be the final level of the game! The day I arrived here, I spent more then my whole night trying to beat this travesty, And when I finally got done with all of that, I got to chairman drek!

I gave this game a 9.5 because It is fun, addicting, fresh and innovative, and just an awesome game that has really redefined the definition of "3D platformer"! SCEA has once again done It again and I know they will next time! So anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 133th game review on the vizzed board, and well, See you guys later in my 134th review! |

Ah, if you guys already know, I am also a huge fan of ubisoft's limbless hero rayman as well! Back when rayman's first game was released, Gamers were mesmerized by an amazing 2D platformer that was really fun and challenging at the same time! Heck, Even I had the most trouble with the game itself, But I ended up completing the game In the end, So a sequel just had to be made you know! And that Is what we got, In around 1999, Ubisoft all worked together to bring one of the biggest and extraordinary 3D platformers since Super mario 64! Well you guys are asking for It, What is this stellar game, And why Is It In my reviewing list! You will see later guys! This is rayman 2 revolution for the PlayStation 2!
Story-8/10 This adventure takes place on a forbidden island called the glade of dreams. These evil doers known as the robo pirates, led by the ruler razorbeard are planning to destroy the world's core, Doing so will lessen the power of the resistance and will forever vanquish our fellow hero rayman's powers, Thus holding him captive. Which then brings us to our hero rayman, who is currently in a scuffle with the pirates, which is why he is In jail! Along with him in the prison Is a calm fellow by the name of globox, a blue creature who has been aiding rayman in all of his adventures ever since, he hands rayman a lum which lets rayman escape from the ship. Rayman then returns home and learns that in order to defeat the space pirates, He must recover four of these magical masks to restore order to his world! So as of right now, The whole entire universe is depending on our fellow limbless hero to save the world! Will he succeed, or will he fall face flat In the dirt! Let's find out! Gameplay-8/10 Unlike rayman's first adventure, which was a side-scroller game, Rayman 2 revolution is a full 3D platformer game where you the role of rayman as you guide our hero through big levels, collecting lums, and defeating enemies. The controls are easy to get the hang of, The left analog stick moves, X lets you jump, O and Square let you attack, and the Triangle button lets you display all of your current stats. The game's levels are connected by a hub world, Here you can run around and Graphics-9/10 This game was released sometime In about 2001, and even for those standards, I have always seen this game as one of the PlayStation 2's best! I mean just look at the game from a distance, You already know It Is rayman! Each level after the last is big, vast, fun, and just an overall blast to explore throughout! You will guide rayman through big forests with really nice looking grass and trees, You'll take him through the big and scary caves of the ancients, complete with spiders pihranas and chicken ghosts, heck, You'll even guide him through a big lava underground cave! As I have addressed before, Each level is just brimming with stuff to do and collect! Such as lums, enemies, cages, platforms, well, yeah!? You get the point! Now to the actual character models, The characters from the last game were pretty good, but there weren't really that many of them, We just had Rayman, the teensie guys, Mr dark, And Mr dark's henchman, Here we have Rayman, globox, Ly, Rayman's enemy razorbeard, The space pirate army, and tons of other to add to the list! Rayman Is still a limbless dude with tons of talents, Globox Is your typical cowardly yet lovable sidekick, Razorbeard Is your despicable villain who wants to do anything to eliminate rayman, and well yeah! The characters still look pretty good none the less! Lastly, The HUD is pretty self explanatory, It displays how much health you have left until you are dead, How many lums you have collected in the level, and how many cages you have also collected. Sound-8/10 The excact second that I booted this game into my console, I had no idea what to expect, I mean, sure the eerie music at the menu really didn't do It for me a bit, But let's just continue shall we! The sound in this game has really stepped up from the first game! The first game had a little cutsie woodsy and happy-go-lucky feel to It, But this game just feels downright serious and to the point, But none the less! The game's soundtrack Is still good! Each level in the game has some really catchy bright and just awesome sounding music that helps you remember that This is a rayman game, From the big lush forest of the fairy glade to the Pirate mines, They all sound so catchy and just a blast to hear, While though my CD glitched up on me once and had absolutely no music playing at all until I got a new one! Now to the sound effects, They are your typical stuff! You have some swooshs, booms, pows, woo-hoos, boings, and well, It is perfectly rayman quality! Even though I didn't exactly explain which one Is which, Booms are for when you destroy an enemy, Boings are for when you jump on platforms and such, and swooshs are for when you swing yourself on a grapple hook, They are all still really good and cartoony sound effects! Lastly, the voice acting, This section might be a little tricky especially considering that the characters don't talk much In this game, But still, Rayman has that caresmetic heroic voice that helps him remember that he is a hero, Globox has that little wimpy voice as in He is scared yet still trying, and Razorbeard has that dramatic antagonistic voice to him that makes him one really awesome super villain! Addictiveness-7/10 This game has always proved to me as the absolute game changer of rayman games, and Here is why I say so! Well first of all, It Is just the feel of the game itself! The game feels very big, very fun, and just very likely to catch your attention the whole entire ride through! I mean, just look at my current save file of this game! 100% And second, It is just?controlling rayman himself! As we all know, Rayman is a very very agile character himself, He can jump from platform to platform, He can hang on webs and monkey bars, He can swing through various things without a single flinch, and so on!? Lastly, The game has just felt to me as the real game changer of 3D platformers throughout, I mean sure we had games like Super Mario 64 or Tomb raider at the time to accompany us, But this game just feels the sweetest of the three! Don't worry guys, Those two games I mentioned now are still really really awesome games! Don't get me wrong and think that I hate those games, Because deep down inside, I love those games with all of my heart, and I will never let them go from my childhood! Just saying! Depth-9/10 This game Is really big and Is probably one of the bigger rayman games I have played besides Rayman 3 (Which I shall review oh so soon.) But anyways, Now to the depth factor of the game! This game Is about 5-11 levels long, So you have a big 3-6 hour quest waiting for you. Second, It Is the amount of lums and cages to collect throughout the entire course of the game! There are overall over 1000 lums and About 50-70 cages to collect and find throughout the entire game, and just finding all of them feels so rewarding after all of your hard work and effort! Lastly, There are some bonus games and extra powers to purchase, Such as globox disk, Some sort of soccer like game with baby globoxes, and the powers will help you alot and I say ALOT throughout your quest, So make sure to find as many lums as you can throughout the course of the game in order to gain access to the cooler and uniqer powers like the gold fists and such, Those ones are fun! Difficulty-6/10 The game has never really given me trouble throughout the course of the game, But some levels have still given me trouble at some parts! And here they are, One of the first levels that make me give the game this much on the difficulty scale would have to be the water skiing levels in the swamp, It is just going way too fast and one mistake automatically sends you to your last previous checkpoint, Another level that has given me trouble Is the pirate caves level, Here you are controlling a big pirate ship and you must find three of these certain things (Sorry, I forgot what you had to find here.) And the level Is really linear, and so you will be bumping around alot until you die! Now don't get me wrong here, The difficulty level for this game Is pretty fair here and there, and so I don't think the game Is a nightmare to play, but well, yeah, You get the point! The game Is pretty hard for It's own good, But if you are a pro at platformer games, then this one should go pretty easy for you! Overall-8.5/10 So in general, What do I think of this 3D platforming marvel you ask? Well guys, I am glad you would ask, I think this game Is amazing! From the amazing story to the awesome characters to the holy amount of stuff to do, This game Is a total must have for rayman fans and I hope you will agree with me! I gave this game an 8.5 because It is fun, different, challenging, big, long, and It just really really stays true to Rayman's true roots you know! So anyways guys, This has been RedHotToddy's 132th game review on vizzed board, and well, I hope to see you guys later In my 133th review! I am glad that you guys on the vizzed board love reading my reviews, Because It takes so much time and effort to make these, and just completing one feels so rewarding after all that I did! So anyways, As I was saying, Oh yeah, Bye guys! Ah, if you guys already know, I am also a huge fan of ubisoft's limbless hero rayman as well! Back when rayman's first game was released, Gamers were mesmerized by an amazing 2D platformer that was really fun and challenging at the same time!

Overall-8.5/10 So in general, What do I think of this 3D platforming marvel you ask? Well guys, I am glad you would ask, I think this game Is amazing! From the amazing story to the awesome characters to the holy amount of stuff to do, This game Is a total must have for rayman fans and I hope you will agree with me! I gave this game an 8.5 because It is fun, different, challenging, big, long, and It just really really stays true to Rayman's true roots you know! So anyways guys, This has been RedHotToddy's 132th game review on vizzed board, and well, I hope to see you guys later In my 133th review! I am glad that you guys on the vizzed board love reading my reviews, Because It takes so much time and effort to make these, and just completing one feels so rewarding after all that I did! So anyways, As I was saying, Oh yeah, Bye guys! |

Ah, well, Hello guys! As you guys probably know, I have been on a long enough hiatus from vizzed just to come back with another all new and fresh game review for you guys to read! I never get tired of this guys, So just you guys wait until I have no more to review! But anyways, The game I am reviewing today Is actually?A really good one that I remember from my childhood very very fondly! No It Is Not Mario Or Sonic, But you are then pretty close though! The game I am reviewing today Is from nickelodeon, And Is on the Sega genesis! Okay I'll just tell you guys, This Is Ren And Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention For The Sega genesis! The one thing We ask though is that Is this going to be a good game, Or just another sadistic attempt to cash In on John krisfaulci's iconic duo? Let's get started shall we?
Story-7/10 Oh man! To tell you guys the truth here, Ren and stimpy have been through alot of cool and wacky adventures in these past few days! The duo has adventured through outer space, Snuck into a police station using special paint to disguise and make themselves look like dogs, travel through Hollywood, and well, They have done tons of other stuff that I can't name! You think they would just take a break from all this, But just see what they have done today! One day stimpy is working on a cool invention when ren hoek just happens to walk In, He asks stimpy what Is this invention, Stimpy tells him It is a new invention that he likes to call the mutate-o-matic, Ren asks what does It do, Stimpy says It transforms garbage into food, He shows ren a demonstration of the invention, But he accidentally sets the level to "NO WAY!" Causing the machine to explode into thousands of pieces! The manual of the machine says "Collect pieces, assemble them to the machine, Deactivate machine." This Is their toughest challenge yet, So help the duo out before they fail the mission! I will be honest here, The story for this game Is really ren and stimpy quality! Anyways, Let's just get to the game shall we? Gameplay-8/10 Alright, time to get into the actual gameplay of the adventure Itself! Ren and stimpy: Stimpy's invention Is a 2D platformer where you control ren and stimpy through more then five big and vast levels, Defeating enemies, collecting goodies, and recovering the mutate-o-matic! The controls are easy to get into, A is dash, B is attack, and C is run. You will control ren and stimpy In a orderly fashion, Pressing the action button when near either ren or stimpy will let you perform a special action, such as drilling into the floor, flying in the air, etc. Each level is crazier then the last, some levels have you walking through the city, adventuring through a huge giant freezer, escaping from a huge truck, etc. Every once in a while you will have to fight an easy yet somewhat complicated boss, Like a wrestler, a big automobile, and many other crazy stuff. Once thing you should really hand to this game Is how much of the show's humor the game manages to incorporate into the game itself! For example, one level has you guiding a deflated ren and stimpy through a big dangerous bird house, Second, some of the iconic characters from the show such as Powdered toast man and Mr horse make appearances as well! And that Is pretty cool! Lastly, The duo will be collecting tons of power-ups along the way In their quest, Such as Money which will add to your score, Food which will also increase your score, Health which will restore your health, and tons of other cool stuff! Graphics-9/10 This game was made sometime In about 1994, and even for that time, The graphics in this game are absolutely astonish from start to finish! I am not kidding! The game really captures that distinct ren and stimpy feel that we should all know and love, The crude humor, the slapstick violence, and so on! But anyways, Each level In this game really feels big vast and just overall fun to play In! You'll take the gang through a big and cool freezer, A dangerous zoo, A big bird house where they must inflate their way to find the way out, The outdoors which Is lurking with longs and floating eyeballs In the background, and so many more! Now to the actual character sprites movements and animations! And you really really got to hand It to them right here! Ren and stimpy really look like theirselves, Powered toast man Is cool, Mr horse Is solid, and all the other enemies look like your typical stuff, And boy Is It funny to watch Ren and stimpy beating the stuffing Out of each other saying stuff like "YOU DUMB IDIOT!" And other stuff, And Ren and stimpy are still looking good! Ren is still peach short and skinny, Stimpy Is red and somewhat fat, and so on! The HUD In the game Is pretty self explanatory, It displays how many lives you have left, and It also displays how much health you have left until you die! Lose all your health and you lose one life, Anyways, That It It for the graphics! Sound-8/10 If there Is one thing that the developers on Sega games and such do not ever get wrong, It has got to be the soundtrack of the game! The soundtrack for the most part Is catchy bright and so cartoony that you will be humming through the whole way through, The neighborhood level has a nice cheery and really happy tone that will help you prepare for the rest of the game In general, The outdoors level has that really exotic quiet and empty feeling as If you are In some sort of alien like planet, The dog catcher chase scene has a good rendition of that old classic chase song they used to play In older cartoons, and many other songs are still pretty good and awesome to listen to! Now for the sound effects, They aren't the best, But they aren't the worst! You have some typical boings when you jump, Squeaks for when you high jump, Pows for when you damage an enemy with your weapon, and a weird sound shutdown like sound for when you are all out of health, None of this stuff has actually gotten repetitive for me believe It or not! That Is a good thing as a video game's soundtrack Is supposed to comfort your ears for the whole ride through. Lastly, the game also uses some sort of voice clips, And here Is what there Is, We have ren saying to stimpy "You Idiot!" When you just slap him for fun, You have ren and stimpy crying whenever you lose a life, And the best of them all, Powdered toast man shouting "Leave everything to me!" Everytime you fall off of the stage Into a cliff, Anyways, That Is It for the sound! Addictiveness-7/10 Looking at this game millions of years back, It was a really fun game and an excellent time waster for when I was bored and had nothing to do, and looking at It today, The game still holds up really well as a smart fun and cleverly made 2D platformer that Is fun for all ages! First of all, It Is just controlling Ren and stimpy, When ren and stimpy are together, anything and I say ANYTHING can happen! They can get chased by a big truck or become big inflatable balloons, And get Into all other kinds of trouble! I still play this game mostly just to get some higher high scores and whatnot, and That Is also pretty fun to do as well! The game just mostly has that Distinct Ren and stimpy feel that you have always come to expect from The show Itself, And that Is what makes the game Itself really loads of fun! I hope that you guys will agree so as well! Because Ren and stimpy are still In our hearts, And have yet to be forgotten! I got them on my mind though! And that Is really showing my signs of being a Ren and stimpy fanboy, We loved them back in the day, And we still do now! Depth-6/10 Believe It or not, The game Is actually filled with a plenty of cool stuff to do when you are playing, And here Is what I mean when I say that! Well first of all let's get to the length of the adventure, The game Is overall over 6-8 levels long, So that will most likely take you over an hour or 30 minutes or so to finish In a single sitting, And second, The game also offers a multiplayer mode! No, not multiplayer like you see in COD or such, Nice easy and simple multiplayer! Two players can control Ren and stimpy at once, And you can help each other out by using abilities on each other, I will say, This feature has kept me and my friend from elementary quite busy! And we even managed to complete the whole game with each other! Anyways, That Is it for the depth and replay value! Difficulty-6/10 I will say, The game has actually proven quite a bit of challenge for me here and there! But that Is GOOD because we all play video games to be challenged and to have fun! Not just for the graphics sound and whatnot! But as we were saying, The challenge Level in this game Is pretty fair throughout the course of the game, and here Is why! Well some levels like the bird house or the dog catcher chase have really troubled me back in the day, The bird house because there are so many obstacles to avoid throughout the level and one touch from ANY of the obstacles counts against a whole lot! Now I say the dog catcher chase level because everything Is going way to fast! And If you slow down even ONCE, Then you better hurry before that truck gets you! But If you are a pro enough gamer, Then this game should go pretty easy for you! Overall-8.2/10 I will be honest with you guys here 100%, I really really enjoyed this adventure for the sega genesis! I think this game Is really really fun and just captures all of the charm wit and humor that the TV series had! Now to the scoring reasons, I gave this game a 8.2 because It Is fun, challenging, long, and just a great game In general! I would highly recommend this game to anyone Who is a ren and stimpy fan or anyone who owns a sega genesis! Anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 131st review, and well, I hope to see you guys In my 132th review! If that happens... Ah, well, Hello guys!

Monday, I see this as the official beginning of the week and probably the most easy day of the week in general, Not much else to say about here, Now to Tuesday, This Is where things start spicing up a little, You know, I learn more stuff, I make new and more cool friends, Yeah. Now to Wednesday! This Is a minimum day, And The shortest day of the week. Now to Thursday, This Is where things start boiling up the most! You see this Is the penultimate day of the week! I even woke up one Thursday thinking that It was Friday, But No! Now finally, the last day, Friday! Friday feels like such a breath of fresh air and finally ends my week. I go home, lay down, and do everything else! Anyways, That Is It for my opinion on school days! I like Wednesdays the most! mohammedroxx3 : Hmm...School days huh?

Mr. Zed : Oh man oh man! I have so many favorite snacks In my opinion! But If there Is one snack that I cannot get over, It would have to be chocolate chip cookies! The first day that I ate these delicious snacks, I was easily appetized by their absolute amazing taste and everything else! Another favorite snack of mine would have to be cheetos, Especially those hot ones man! Those are the absolute best! But too bad that our school doesn't let us go to the store In the morning anymore, Cause If we do, then they will confiscate any purchased items and snacks! I hate them! I can only go on my afterschool time now! Mr. Zed : Oh man oh man! I have so many favorite snacks In my opinion!
