Disney/Pixar's Monsters, Inc (PSone)
|
|
|
| Description:
If you're into Monsters, Inc. you'll love this game, a colourful and child-friendly offering that brings the characters from the Pixar/Disney blockbuster to a PlayStation near you. The aim of the game is simple enough: progress through the levels by scaring a set number of robotic children ("nerves") and collecting your standard platform currency--coins. The game itself is a movie tie-in, but not a game of the movie; the plot doesn't follow the film's at all, instead pursuing Mike and Sulley's training at the Monsters, Inc. Scare Academy. Each level is presented more as a puzzle rather than a story progression; clips from the movie are included in between levels, but they don't really bear any relevance to the action at your fingertips. The gameplay uses elements from Crash Bandicoot, Banjo Kazooie and Spyro the Dragon: jump, spin, bounce--all your standard platform moves are here. However, this isn't a bad thing, as kids will love it. It's a fun, not overly complicated platformer, which does its job; if however you want an original gaming experience then maybe this isn't for you.--Laurent S Hall

Ok, I've passed the academy, now what? This is an easy game. Recommended for young kids only, no challenge for anyone older. The game looks good & has a couple of nice touches but is far too short. You are just getting into it when it finishes. Looks like they ran out of time & padded it out with video clips of the movie before rushing it out. It reminded my a lot of the game Ape Escape which I would recommend to anyone long before this one. |

keeps the kids (and Dads!!) quiet for hours

I have played this with my Grandson, and it is fantastic. A sort of Sonicish, Toystoryish platform, but just not for kids. You have to develop your skills to earn your medals and acquire progressive abilities - totally addictive!! Great graphics make it a game that all the family will want to play together. The choice of character gives the player a choice of gameplay styles & boredom is not an option with the levels relatively short & sweet. I would thouroughly recommend this title for Sunday afternoon fun sessions with the whole family. |
