All in all, this is a sweet confection of a game that could have given more to chew on as regards some of the puzzles, but it was still humorous and fun, with some excitement thrown in besides.
-
If you can get over the inane product licensing and the idea that small sugar pills are magical, this isn't a bad third-person action/adventure.
-
Surprisingly funny.
-
A complete joy to play and worthy of the attention of even the most hardcore gamer.
-
Irresistible for sure, but not exalting enough to overcome substandard play mechanics and aesthetics.
-
PC GamerManages to pull of a surprising amount of chuckles with its well-written dialogue. [Apr 2002, p.80]
-
If you can get past the monotonous arcade elements, there's a lot that the title has going for it, including imaginative characters and a script bordering on hysterical.
-
A game meant for gamers who are a bit younger and who enjoy cute sarcastic babes for main characters. So, it all boils down to jumping around bashing recurring enemies with your staff and listening to your un-witty sidekick.
-
Computer Gaming WorldA game that mostly excels at being better than you think it'll be. [June 2002, p.86]
-
Rather than mixing action, adventure and puzzle, a narrower focus with more snide remarks and witty writing would have led to a better game.
