Have you ever purchased a game for its simplicity? Or at least what
you hoped would be simplicity? A game so simple that when you fail time
and time again, you feel like the biggest idiot on the planet? I am
playing such a game. Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots. I bought it
because it did look like a fun break from some of the other titles out
there (I have 3 FRPG games to play and review and I really needed a
time out!) Besides, although I can’t stand Sponge Bob; I love Jimmy
Neutron, Timmy Turner and Danny Phantom.
A 2D platform game that has me discovering somewhere along the line
I had traded my fingers for thumbs. It’s the jumping… I cannot do the
jumping. Think Mario on acid.
I don’t know if I like it or hate it. The levels progressively get
more difficult but the tasks have no rhyme or reason. WHY am I jumping
and dodging to end a level that gives me no idea WHY I screamed and
cursed at the screen through out my multiple demises?????
This game is for kids I guess and I want to pound on the kids who
can breeze through these levels. Monster kids who were born with a
controller in their hands and they must be stopped at all costs!
Each character I’ve played so far has no ability that distinguishes
it from the last. The “toy factory” isn’t like any toy factory I’ve
ever been in… (okay, I’ve never been *in* a toy factor or have ever
seen a toy factory. As far as I know they’re all hellish evil
playgrounds for demonic Care Bears.)
I will continue to play because that’s what I do, but as far as a
relaxing game to give me a break from the more intense games I’ve been
playing, it fails!
You know if most games forced you to jump as much as this one does-
I may have traded my consoles in for… books a long time ago. >:-|
I can’t give you the traditional rating system because I’m not even
half way through and I’ve no idea what I thnk of it over all. My ego is
crushed as a young boy is pointing and laughing at me each time I poof
my character and yell “CRUB!!”
