A short and fun cartoon based video game. lolid23
I'm going to say this right now: I've played this game a lot of times before but I haven't seen a lot of episodes of the cartoon called Tiny Toon Adventures, that's...kinda hard to believe isn't it? this isn't very related but I'm actually ashamed that I didn't had the chance to watch the cartoon as a kid, that's probably because I was born in 1997 but...it still makes me a bit sad that neither this game and the cartoon make me feel nostalgia, I know it makes me feel more weird than sad but it still feels sad and weird that this old game based on a (so far) GOOD cartoon doesn't make me feel nostalgia, of course, I still enjoy playing this game and I think it's a very fun game but...it just...feels as I don't have something else that everyone else has, it's hard to explain I guess, and yeah, the fact that I didn't watch the cartoon as a kid makes very exciting the simple action of watching an episode because I didn't saw a single episode as a kid, I'll also say that I bought a box with two DVDs of the cartoon a few days ago, and the cartoon is very good so far, in fact, I'm thinking about watching more episodes later.
Anyway, while it's true that the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive game Tiny Toon Adventures Buster's Hidden Treasure makes me feel nostalgia because I played it for the first time before turning 7, this game doesn't make me feel nostalgia because I found this game a few years ago, unlike Tiny Toon Adventures Buster's Hidden Treasure, which I've probably been playing for a decade, I also must say that I finished that game for the first time in 2011, that game is very difficult...whatever, the thing is, this game doesn't make me feel nostalgia and Buster's Hidden Treasure does, AND for some reason, I decided to play these games even through I knew that this was a cartoon I never had the chance to see (at least back then), and now...the review of this fun game:
Story: there is no story for this game at all, just a bunch of random stages that you have to clear, most of the stages have some kind of story (the second stage for example is some kind of western style movie where Montana Max, a spoiled kid, steals money that he found on a security box, once you find him, you use a train to chase him, you end finding a green, out of control train and at the end, you join forces with him to escape) but the game itself doesn't really have a story.
Sound: average, nothing too impressive, I think the best sound in the game is the whistle that the trains make, the music found in the game can vary very well, going from very catchy themes, to epic and heroic themes, to a slightly creepy and intimidating theme, it's not the biggest variety but it's something.
Graphics: I can say that this game looks a little better than Super Mario World, the stages are colorful and almost everything is well detailed, the graphics aren't the most colorful but overall, the game looks good for the system.
Addictiveness: most of the time you play as Buster Bunny, but when you finish a stage, you can (and must) play a mini game to get lives, and that may make you play as someone else, the mini games are fun, only 1 is a little boring to me but the rest are good, there is also a (american) football part that is also VERY fun, the football part may be a little difficult but, not to the point of being very frustrating, returning to the most played character Buster Bunny I can say that he plays very well, first we have the fact that you can kick your enemies to defeat them, and doing that is fun, then we have the run feature, which is used to make long jumps to reach other places and you can use said feature to climb the walls.
All of these things you do makes this game very addictive, this game is more addictive than Buster's Hidden Treasure to me, that game has earned my respect for being a game that took me forever to beat and for being a game that I still enjoy playing but this game is...even more fun :)
Depth: this game is shorter than Tiny Toon Buster's Hidden Treasure, this game has less levels than said game and every level can be finished quickly, the same thing can be said for most of the levels of Buster's Hidden Treasure...but that game at least has WAY harder levels and has more levels.
Difficulty: this game is a cakewalk compared to Buster's Hidden Treasure, sure you can change the difficulty in this game and not in Buster's Hidden Treasure, but even on the hardest difficulty the game is still not a big challenge, to me, the hardest part of the game is the football part, even the final boss is easier.
This game is so much fun and I would definitely play it over and over again, but the fact that is very short and that the game only delivers some challenge on the hardest difficulty doesn't make it the best, I don't really mind this game being easy, I think this game being short is a bigger problem, oh well, at least this game is so darn fun and the music can vary well.
