    If you’ve enjoyed the previous Nicktoon games, Battle for Volcano Island will be another game you have to add to your library.

    A good pick for kids that love Nickelodeon; of course, expect to buy another game shortly after gifting due to the unimpressive length. At least it looks good and is a bit of fun.

    Though the basic elements are recycled long after they get tired, the core gameplay is solid enough that the game doesn't feel like a chore. Sure, it's simple, but this IS a kids' game, and great fan service at that.

    It's a shame that it settles for merely good enough when it could have been great. [July 2007, p.88]

    Most gamers, however, will be turned off by its overly easy objectives, most of which involve the same few actions. Camera confusion ensures disappointment by all but the most forgiving players.

    A child safe damp squib of a game that has none of the edge of the cartoon. [Aug 2007, p.73]

    A generic platformer to say the least. It is obvious the game’s focus is on the franchises rather than the core gameplay mechanics. One for the diehard fanatics only.

I had lowI decided to play this game after several years of not playing it because I was a little curious and had nothing better to do. I had low expectations for this game and sadly the game does not exceed those expectations. As a mindless beat em up, it can be kind of fun at first. However, boredom and repetition quickly set in. I was already bored with this game half way though and consider that this game is only 2 and a half hours, that's pretty pathetic. The biggest problem is that you pretty much saw everything the game offers after the first level. On top of that, the game is extremely easy. I didn't even die once in the game, and there was only one time where my life bar went into the red. The models are sub par for PS2. But the graphics are overall colorful and the music can be good in a few spots. If you have some nostalgia to this game or Nicktoons as a whole. Or you have a friend with nothing else to play. Then Battle for Volcano Island might be okay, but otherwise there no need to play this.… Full Review »
