    JNBG is one of those games where the playtesters involved need to all have their hands broken. This game stinks. The counter-intuitive controls are awful and the slow rate of speed at which Jimmy moves makes one wonder whether he and Harry Potter were in the same girls' PE class. For example, Jimmy can fall into radioactive waste in one section and only lose part of a "pie" (the life JNBG is one of those games where the playtesters involved need to all have their hands broken. This game stinks. The counter-intuitive controls are awful and the slow rate of speed at which Jimmy moves makes one wonder whether he and Harry Potter were in the same girls' PE class. For example, Jimmy can fall into radioactive waste in one section and only lose part of a "pie" (the life force indicator) and on other levels he's killed instantly if he accidentally hops into green goop. As far as children's games go this product is only suitable as a gift for kids you don't like.… Expand

    Not even a functional platformer. The lighting looks like something from Duke Nukem 3d, the resolution is junky, and the game glitches easily. Whoever made this game needs a lesson in level design and a kick to the face.

    Boring game. The entire game you only need to find objects and collect some useless neutron particles. The save is available just when you finish the exhaustive mission... I loved the Jimmy Neutron cartoon and movie, but this game... I feel nothing.

    Just about one of the worst movie tie in games I've ever played. Especially if you take into account how solid some of the other Jimmy Neutron games were on console and PC. Attack of the twonkies is pretty enjoyable and both Twonkies and Jet fusion have way more accurate visuals and voice acting. This game either doesn't have the voice actors of if they do they've suddenly forgotton how toJust about one of the worst movie tie in games I've ever played.

    Definitely one for the younger gamers (and by that I mean the under tens) and fans of the boy genius who'll no doubt find enough to entertain them.

    The problems are not just with the dullness of the game, the scrappy presentation or the lack of focus, but the controls are a bit shoddy too.

    Just because its targeted at youngsters doesn’t mean it has to be terrible.
