    As it stands, I can’t in good faith recommend Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland. I do believe there is a good game hidden underneath the game’s incredibly rough exterior, but I believe most people are better off waiting until that good game is dug out via patches. The single player experience is admittedly better than co-op, but the plethora of bugs in the co-op mode is still unacceptable. Some people may luck out and make it through the game encountering minimal issues, but if anybody’s experience is similar to mine then they will instantly regret the money they spent purchasing this game.

    Cumulatively, you end up with a title brimming with nostalgia and good ideas, but controls that hold the affair back.

    Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland achieves so much in emulating the feel of a retro Gameboy-released platformer. Although licensed games like this were dime-a-dozen growing up, and were often pretty average, Adventures in Gameland’s spectacular presentation shows genuine respect and care for those toddling bubs. Due to this, I found it easier to forgive the game’s many unforced errors which were all driven by its “classic” design.

    As beautiful as it is to look at, it’s a shame that Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland just isn’t more fun to play. It feels old and while I suppose that’s the intention, platforming games have move on for a reason. It’s the first Rugrats game in two decades, and while I’m glad it exists, I’m disappointed it’s not more enjoyable.
