This is based on the Cartoon Network animation of the same name. Incessant music irritates throughout although the colourful graphics at least evoke the TV show it’s based on. However, the platforming is so dated it’s practically prehistoric, the level design is uniformly poor and the minigames are, without exception, excruciatingly dull. A lazy tie-in that’ll no doubt shift a few copies off the back of the name.

DescriptionA game based on a remake of a show from the creator of Rocky and Bullwinkle, Jay Ward. Though Ward created his cartoons to provide cheap laughs in between cereal commercials, he could never have guessed it would go so far as to be an average cash-in game.
