    Overall, you’ll find yourself playing all day, wanting to reach 100% in each level. And you'll have a fun time doing it, too.

    It’s not going to keep you amused for a very long time.

    While the game lacks visual flair and can become a little repetitive in the later stages, fans of the show, particularly younger gamers, are sure to enjoy the familiar theme, characters and wackiness.

    A basic, solid, hardworking title, with just enough familiar territory to keep fans of the show happy, and enough work to keep persistent (albeit young) gamers satisfied.

    The best thing by far about the game is how much Bam! has captured Dexter's world for the game.

    I was a little disappointed that there weren't more crazy inventions to use.

    When you move Dexter around, it's far too common to simply fall off of cliffs or get caught in electricity fields - even though you were clearly safely away from the offending obstacle. [Winter 2001, p.48]

    Unfortunately once the game starts the fun ends.
