The yellow cartoon dynasty was built on parody and wit, but most of
the games have felt like soulless copies of successful games. Not so
here. While the game play can be repetitive and the levels
simplistic, the real star is the writing. All the show's voice actors
participate and from the laughs it got, probably most of the writers
too. Even the self-referenciality of the series plays a key role
here as the characters know they're in a video game. It may not be
great, but it's good with lots of gags and surprises. Plus, its co-op
play (you always play as two characters) makes it a strong pick for
gamer couples. Unless you hate the show, I strongly endorse a rental. 8/11 |
