Disney's Treasure Planet (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Set the solar sails! It's time to return to Treasure Planet! Ah, but don't worry - there aren't quite so many elevators this time. Shockingly, this game represents a rarity, in that it seems to capture the tone and spirit of the movie rather well, which is more than could be said for the PS1 game. No sir, you won't find any George Washington toad-men around here! Graphically, this game looks pretty damn good, and with most of the main cast reprising their roles, you might say it has all the makings of greatness, but does it rattle my stars? Join me on this voyage and find out! *Please note that while I like to cover everything in detail, I have had to gloss over a handful of the more mundane missions for time reasons - otherwise this review covers the game from beginning to end, as usual!

Disney's Peter Pan: The Legend of Never Land (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Yes, we're in Never Land again, only this time Peter Pan cannot fly. Yes, you read that correctly. This is a game in which Peter can't fly. Boy, I'd love to have been a fly on the wall during that pitch meeting. How did that go, exactly? Did one guy propose this concept, and everyone in the room then unanimously agree that this was a good idea? What were they even thinking?! They basically took Peter Pan and sucked all the fun out of it. I take back every criticism I made of the PS1 game - at least you could fly, which is the least you'd expect from a Peter Pan game. It's safe to say, I'm never playing this again. Never, never again.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (PS2/PS3) - i don't have a nose Video Review (1K Sub Special)!

 

Okay, so first of all, a MASSIVE thank you to everyone subbed to this channel! I understand you might think this is a little overdue but honestly, the subscribers have been increasing at a rate I'm really not used to lately. So better late than never! And I figured, what better way to celebrate than to review one of my most highly requested games yet - the sequel to one of my most popular videos: Madagascar! 

This game adopts a similar zany style as the first game, but is much less linear, and there are a handful of new abilities too. The question is, is it as entertaining? Join me and find out, as we learn how to swim, climb, and play musical chairs. Wild!

Looney Tunes Racing (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

What's up, doc? I'll tell you what's up! The Looney Tunes are back for another game, and as usual it doesn't skimp out on the references to the old shorts. But is the gameplay itself as impressive, or is it downright 'desthhhpicable'?

While on the surface this might look like a Crash Team Racing rip-off (and, to be honest, it kind of is), this game has potential. With tracks ranging from desert canyons to giant's gardens, this sounds like the perfect accompaniment to the original cartoons. And if that's not enough to entice you, if you win, you're granted one wish - anything your heart desires. Anything at all. I'm sure you won't be bitterly disappointed whatsoever. Ready? On your marks, get set... Let's get Looney!

Oh and by the way, a massive thank you is due for 1000 subs! I'm currently working on one of my most highly requested movie games so see you soon for my 1000 sub special! Exciting stuff!

Ratatouille (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Ever wanted to play a Disney cooking simulator? No, me neither. Indeed, as expected, Ratatouille is a movie game interlaced with cooking mini-games. Bland as it might sound, there's room for innovation here. Is this your average movie game side dish, or does it belong on the specials menu?

Thanks to Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Αναστασία for the request! Hope you enjoy the video! I'm aware one or two others have requested this game since, so apologies if you didn't get a mention this time around.

A big thank you to everyone for watching once again! If you enjoyed, don't forget to like and subscribe, and if you wanna become a patron, it would mean a hell of a lot. I'm aware most have jumped ship lately, and it's understandable under the current circumstances, but I'm going to be trying out some interesting stuff with Patreon very soon, so if you're interested, let me know what you'd wanna see. Otherwise, thanks for watching and sharing and liking and all that jazz. I've received some really nice comments lately and it honestly keeps me going so thank you.

Herdy Gerdy (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

This month I'm trying something a little different! This is my first review of a game that's not based on a pre-existing franchise. Herdy Gerdy is often referred to as a 'shepherd simulator' but in actuality, this makes it sound a lot more tedious than it actually is. While I do think this game requires a hell of a lot of patience, it's nonetheless a surprisingly ambitious game, especially considering its age. But while it certainly has its merits, that camera can quite frankly flock off.

 Notes:

7:05 - While I say the creatures you have found 'will not be recorded', the game does remember your highest percentage - you simply cannot return and continue where you left off.

26:57 - I feel I should possibly have elaborated on this. There are four sets of creatures here, all in their own cages, and their pens are located in the cages of other creatures - you just have to make sure the gromps and grimps don't cross paths with the doops or honks.

For anyone who's interested, the anthills hold 12 ants, while the pipes in Foxtown hold 10 glooters.

A very special thanks to Jur the Orc for having recommended this game a while ago! Hope you enjoy the video! The next review I cover will be another movie game.

Meet the Robinsons (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Yes, Meet the Robinsons has a game! Isn't that great? The problem is, it's nothing like the movie. All the same, it's surprisingly creative. Wilbur's visit to the past has some unexpected consequences - giant robotic ants overrun the city, as the evil Emperor Stanley reigns supreme. See? I told you it was nothing like the movie! The question is, is this game any fun today, or is it simply of its time?

 Hey everyone! On a serious note, hope you're all okay! This video raised me out of a major procrastination rut! Apologies for the appearance - under current circumstances it couldn't really be helped, though I intend to be a little more presentable next time. Either way, hope you enjoy this (surprisingly lengthy) review of what I deem to be an underrated movie game. Keep safe, everyone, and stay home.

Thanks for watching again!

Open Season (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review! (ft. TheFrozenCavern)

Ever wanted to wander around a forest as a bear in complete silence for several hours? Well now you can! But don't worry if you get bored - to pass the time, you can torture and throw your fellow animal friends around with absolutely no consequence. After all, isn't that what friends are for?!

Join Boog the bear and his deer friend Elliot as they face hunters galore. Fortunately for them, they're pretty easy to dispose of. So easy, in fact, that this game is one of the most tedious movie games I've ever had the displeasure of playing. Wild!

I'm so excited for this video! This month's review is something special. I've teamed up with TheFrozenCavern to tackle this one (I mean, it would be foolish to tackle this tedium alone, wouldn't it?). For those unfamiliar, he is a franchise-based game reviewer, meaning he covers a lot of old crappy movie games like me! Go check him out!

M&M's Shell Shocked (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

I have some high quality videos about some high quality games on the way, including some long-awaited requests. In the meantime, here's a game that absolutely nobody asked for, ever. Enjoy, I guess. And then we'll pretend this video never happened. Deal?

Yes, indeed, we're off to go and visit another chocolate factory! Bet you can't believe your luck?! Seriously though, don't get your hopes up. This factory is filled with hazards galore, including plenty of hazards that should not logically be hazards - like chocolate. Yep. Even though M&M's are made of chocolate, it kills you instantly. It suffices to say, this place is a deathtrap. All is forgiven, Wonka. Your slave labour has never sounded so appealing.

You know, I'm finding these chocolate factories altogether rather disillusioning. Think I'll cancel that trip to Cadbury World.

 Anyway, if you liked watching me play this game (seriously, what the actual f*@! is wrong with you?!), feel free to follow me for more reviews of terrible games! My videos are kind of reviews, but they're also kind of like semi-walkthroughs. I like to call them 'talkthroughs', but I don't think that's a thing.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Ever wanted to visit the factory of your dreams? Well now you can, as long as you don't mind repairing the place along the way. Indeed, young Charlie finds himself a golden ticket, and he's invited to a guided tour of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Little does he realise, however, that this was apparently a ruse to exploit the competition winners with forced labour. Perform such inviting tasks as unblocking Wonka's pipes, welding leaky vents, and sliding down garbage chutes - all with the assistance of some absolutely useless Oompa Loompas, who just do not listen. PUT THE CANDY DOWN AND GET BACK TO WORK!

 P.S: Apologies for any footage of the TV room. You'll see what I mean when you get there. Or rather, you won't see anything.

P.P.S: I'm aware my logo is looking old now. I've been trying out new ones but it's not ready yet, so the old crappy one will have to suffice for now.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun making this one so hope you like it! I have a couple more request reviews underway, so I'll hopefully see you soon!

Looney Tunes: ACME Arsenal (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

* Okay, first of all, my sincerest apologies for my blurry camera - it's becoming intolerable now and I'm seriously looking into getting another new one.

** Secondly, this game just happens to be almost intolerably dark, so the footage ain't great either, so sorry there, eh.

*** Thirdly, before someone mentions this, I meant that the Looney Tunes had been around for nine decades, not Bugs Bunny - it was a poor choice of phrasing. I'm fully aware he's still far off 90.

**** Fourthly (that's a word?! It sounds so weird), this was not the initial planned review as I needed more time for another game I'm planning to cover. So TwisterTH, you got lucky this time. :P

ANYWAY, with that out of the way, this is without a doubt the worst Looney Tunes PlayStation game I have ever played. But with an abundance of references to the classic shorts, a decent soundtrack, and some solid voiceover work, is it really as bad as the critics would have you think?

 Yes. Yes, it is. While there are glints of inspiration here and there, particularly in the combat, overall the game is a sprawling mess. This isn't Looney. This isn't Looney at all! It's just plain bad. There's a lot that's up with this game, doc.

Thanks to TwisterTH for your second request this batch! Again, sorry for my crappy camera - I'm going to make it a priority to get it replaced.

The Grinch (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Yes, the Grinch indeed has his own game,

that 'mean one' created by Seuss, just the same

With gadgets and widgets and blueprints galore,

the Grinch vows to end Christmas forevermore

With some assistance from his trusty dog Max,

the Grinch inflicts some unusual attacks

Pancaking, bad breath and rotten eggs too,

all effective in his assault on the land of Who

Despite its release with a movie coinciding,

its faithfulness to the story is hardly abiding

All the same, it's good fun playing that grumpy green pill,

and besides, if we don't steal Christmas... WHOVILLE?

Okay, I'll stop now.

Notes:

* Just to make it clear, Konami was merely the publisher, not the developer. With my emphasis on Konami at the beginning of the review, I'm not sure this was made explicitly clear.

** The similarities to Bugs and Taz might seem a bit of a stretch, but despite both games ultimately being very different, there are a number of small similarities - some of which I initially mentioned but decided to cut from the main review last-minute. For example:

- They both have a hub world (Mt Crumpit/Granwich) with access to four zones/eras.

- Max can be controlled with the right analog stick, as you can also do with Bugs or Taz.

- The rotten egg launcher is somewhat similar to Bugs' carrot throwing ability.

Overall, as I say, the games are very different - it just reminded me of Bugs and Taz because of these minor similarities. Just wanted to clear this up a little.

Anyway, otherwise, hope you enjoy this review. I had a lot more fun making this than I expected to! Thanks to Kaos Christ for your request - sorry it's taken a long time but I figured I wanted to make it a Christmas special.

Merry Christmas, people! And if I don't upload anything before New Year (I am kinda busy so this may be my last upload this year), Happy New Year!

Thanks for watching everyone! It's been a great year for reviews, and I've loved every second of it. See you again soon! :)

Taz: Wanted (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review (500 SUB SPECIAL)!

Yes - the inexplicably popular Tasmanian Devil has his own PS2 video game. Who knew? Well it turns out a good many of you out there knew of this forgotten gem and wanted me to cover it (apologies if I missed your name in the credits - there was at least one request from a long time ago that I forgot, I just know it). And to my surprise, this game is pretty impressive, considering its subject matter. Who knew a game about a flatulent, gibbering furry lump could be so damn good?! Join me in my (fairly lengthy) commentary as the ever-voracious Taz spins into action once again!

Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Spidey's about to get the shock of his life! Soon after the defeat of Doc Ock and the symbiote invasion, Spider-Man is called to action following a spattering of suspicious activities involving another band of villains. Indeed, as the plot unfolds, Spidey becomes embroiled in quite the tangled web! Get ready for some terrible basketball, some conspicuous tight pants, and far too many close-ups of Spidey's robust buttcheeks. Oh yes.

 Thanks to Kyle Emerson for the request - I'm aware it's extremely late, as this was requested alongside the previous Spider-Man game review, which I uploaded a year ago. Regardless, hope you enjoy and that I did the game justice.

*Re: 9/11 - This is an extremely heavy and sensitive topic, and one I found very difficult to broach in an otherwise very light and at times comedic video. I hope anyone watching doesn't think I discussed the topic overly insincerely - I merely thought it was worth mentioning, and I was simply pointing out some casual observations.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the video! I'll be back soon with another review!

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Ice Age: The Meltdown is not a favourite movie of mine, but its dramatic and frenetic narrative proves perfect for a video game adaptation. That said, most of the movie's dramatic aspects are downplayed or even completely disregarded here - rather, the developers thought it would be a far more interesting idea to have the player take control of Scrat and forage for nuts instead.

 Big shock. They were wrong. While the game isn't necessarily bad, it never exceeds 'mildly enjoyable', even despite some hilarious mini-games. Get ready to meet some stupid rhinos, terrifying tapirs, some condescending penguins, and a farting bear. What more could you ask for? Hmm? What was that? A movie game that actually follows the events of the movie? Don't be ridiculous!

Thanks to Mammoth Supremacy 55 for the request! I'll be back next month with a new review. In the meantime, if you haven't already, please remember to like, subscribe, share and, if you like these videos that much, feel free to become a patron too!

The Simpsons: Hit & Run (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

This is the quintessential Simpsons game. And if you're a Simpsons fan and are still yet to play it, just ask yourself, are you really a Simpsons fan? Really?! This game is filled to the brim with references galore. Almost all of the vehicles are derived from episodes of the show, and the driving controls are surprisingly satisfying. But for me, this game's biggest appeal is its map of the town. As Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Apu, you can roam the streets of Springfield and kick as many innocent pedestrians as you like with only the fear of a $50 fine. Where have you had a better offer than that?!

Futurama (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Welcome to the world of tomorrow! In 2003, a video game based on Matt Groening's sci-fi sitcom was released! Ever wanted the chance to roam around New New York of your own accord? Well... you still can't. Indeed, this game doesn't allow you to explore the series' universe(s) to the extent that the Simpsons games do. But is it nonetheless a worthy addition to the franchise?

Story-wise, arguably yes. But the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired - it feels a little TOO reminiscent of some older games, and while it might be true that the intention was to pay homage to such titles, the truth is that these older games were much, MUCH better. Who'd have thought the world of tomorrow would maintain such dated mechanics?

First of all, I just wanna apologise for the shocking quality of my video camera footage. I am intending to purchase a new, better camera VERY soon, as the blurriness of the footage is becoming increasingly distracting as the quality of the game footage improves. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy!

Over the Hedge (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Back in 2006, DreamWorks unveiled what is arguably possibly one of their most underrated animated features - Over the Hedge. With an all-star cast consisting of the likes of Bruce Willis and Steve Carell, it's quite the surprise it's since been all but forgotten. But is the game faithful to the movie?

As a matter of fact, the game is a wholly different animal, with a wholly different plot. Indeed, the story is... interesting to say the least, as the evil Sniffer has captured a plethora of woodland pests and placed them under his control... for some reason I cannot fathom. Will the villainous Verminator succeed? Not in my back yard!

Disney's Tarzan (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Back in 1999, Disney Interactive presented us with the opportunity to explore the jungle as the eponymous vine-swinging, tree-surfing, lemon-wielding Tarzan! Along with his friends Terk and Tantor (who presumably also speaks gorilla), Tarzan is faced with some of his most threatening enemies yet – including Sabor the leopard, Brian Blessed, and some adorable monkeys for some reason. Often cited as a PlayStation classic, does Tarzan’s jungle journey stand the test of time?

In some ways, yes. In fact, it follows the events of the movie surprisingly well, and while sometimes the controls can be a little stilted, on the whole it’s very smooth. It’s refreshing to play as the other characters besides Tarzan himself too, even if the gameplay isn’t all that innovative. All in all, it’s a swinging success!

Madagascar (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Thanks to Amzy Yzma for the request! You've struck lucky as I was intending to cover this game anyway, meaning you have another request on the way soon-ish. Apologies to anyone if I haven't covered your requests yet - I've more reviews on the way, some of which are requests and others are just regular planned videos. If you like what you see, I'd be very grateful if you'd support me on Patreon (see links below). So anyway, let's talk about the game!

 Ever wanted the chance to play alongside some of your favourite characters from DreamWorks' Madagascar? As well as some other characters who weren't in the movie that you never wanted to meet at all? Well, do I have the game for you!

In 2005, Activision presented us with Madagascar for the PS2, and it most definitely is a wild ride! Taking control of a lion, a hippo, a surprisingly dexterous zebra, and a flying giraffe (yes, you read that correctly), this game loosely follows the plot of the hit DreamWorks animated movie! And when I say loosely, I mean very loosely. Featuring such memorable characters as 'Morris' the albino croc, Wilbur the pervy pig, and Big Louie. Yeah. You remember Big Louie. You know... that guy.

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy! I really enjoyed making this one - apologies for the length, but I wanted to squeeze as much out of this game as I possibly could, and there was SO much to discuss.
