Shrek 2 (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

It ain't ogre yet, folks! Shrek is back in another video-game - one that is far, far better than its piss-poor PS1 predecessor Shrek Treasure Hunt. Indeed, this 2004 movie tie-in lets players revisit all those memorable scenes from the movie, including that part with the bomb-regurgitating troll, the giant spider ambush, and that scene in which Fairy Godmother takes Snow White hostage. Remember all that? No, me neither.

But regardless of whether it accurately follows the plot of the movie, it looks to be an interesting ride. The game sees our eponymous ogre faced with stone warriors, evil frogs, and chicken infestations galore. Yep - it's certainly not easy being green.

Disney's Lilo and Stitch: Trouble in Paradise (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Aloha! Welcome to the tenth and final request episode for this series. And what better way to finish than with a review of PS1 classic Crash Bandicoot. Oh. Hold on, this isn't Crash Bandicoot. No! This is Lilo and Stitch: Trouble in Paradise, one of the laziest movie tie-ins I've ever had the displeasure of playing. But does it have any merit?

Indeed, this game sees you take control of both Lilo and Stitch as you power through several obstacle course-type levels, reminiscent of a much, MUCH better game. Still, at least there's variety in the attacks - not only can you 'do voodoo', but you can also spit, roll and bum bash your way to success. Oh and summon half naked men to do your bidding. Who wouldn't want that?

Thanks to PH CLANK for the request; hope you enjoy it!

*Regarding the line at 4:47, before anybody mentions it, I'm aware Nani can be seen a the hotel later on in the game, only I didn't consider it significant enough to mention. In any case, I'm pretty certain by this point it's long past one o'clock.

Thanks for your support throughout this request series! It's been amazing, but it's far from over. I've a whole other series planned soon. Speaking of which, go check out my new Patreon page! Any support is very much appreciated.

Disney/Pixar Monsters, Inc. Scare Island/Scream Team (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Did you know there's a prequel to Monsters, Inc.?! ... Okay then, did you know there's ANOTHER prequel to Monsters, Inc.?! Oh okay then. Well, I'm gonna talk about it anyway.

And since this game was released on both PS1 and PS2, I decided to take a look at both, even if they are almost exactly the same. As such, this review is a little different, in that the PS1 clips are signified by a grey controller symbol in the top left corner, while PS2 clips are represented by a black controller symbol. But enough with the explanations. The question is, is this game as scarily good as the movie?

Well, not quite, but it's nonetheless entertaining. Mike and Sulley both have their own subtle nuances and differences that make it fun to play as either character, and their scares are PRICELESS. But it isn't what I'd call a monster smash hit.

And speaking of which, I forgot to credit CrystalFissure for the gameplay footage! Go check out his channel.

Also, towards the beginning, I mention the other Monsters, Inc. PS2 game, and while I say it was released in North America, it's also come to my attention that it was released in Australia and New Zealand too. I am *almost* positive it did not have a UK release. Can anybody give me any more information on this? This game is something of a myth to me.

Thanks to Kris Jones for the request!

Rugrats: Search for Reptar (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Just so you all know - I happened to be ill as I recorded this. I look and sound awful, for which I apologise, and should probably have waited until I had recovered to record it, but no use crying over spilled milk (get it, because babies?).

Anyway, it's here now! Tommy, Chuckie, and all the other Rugrats are here in their PlayStation debut. But disappointingly, it looks as though we're not about to embark on a perilous quest in search of Reptar - we are merely finding pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. But not to worry - most of the characters are here, including Phil, Lil, Stu and Grandpa Lou too! Oh, and Didi, who looks disturbingly a lot more terrifying than I remembered.

Thanks to Calum Riley for the request - I hope I did the game justice despite my illness!

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

Much like the eponymous lost continent, this movie tie-in seems to have been long-forgotten. As usual, I indeed to delve deep - deeper than the Atlantic Ocean itself - to answer the question: did this game deserve to be submerged in a sea of obscurity?

The short answer is no, but it's certainly not without its problems. As expected, the game suffers from the usual hindrances - problematic stealth sections and awkward combat being the two major complaints. Pleasantly, the female characters in this game get ample screen time, and their controls and abilities are arguably more impressive than their male counterparts'. We'll just overlook their inability to climb ladders...

Thanks to Pilli for the request! I hope I did the game justice.

Chicken Run (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!

After 4 long, long months, a new review episode has finally hatched! This time, I'm taking a look at Chicken Run for the PS1 - a child-oriented stealth game released in accordance with the Aardman animation of the same name. Is the game as 'eggs-cellent' as its film counterpart?

Surprisingly, this game controls rather well. For the most part, you control Ginger, and occasionally switch to Rocky (very obviously not voiced by Mel Gibson), as well as the rats Nick and Fetcher, with the main objective to find and retrieve a number of items dotted around the farm and Tweedy household for use in Ginger's sometimes insane escape plans. I tell you, this crazy chicken is gonna see us all turned into pies long before the short-sighted Mrs Tweedy gets her hands on us.

Please watch to the end of the video for an extra special message! My friends and I are partaking in an inflatable obstacle course challenge for Children In Need and Fight for Sight. Follow the links below if you wish to donate. Thanks so much, everyone. It's good to be back!

Top 10 Weird Bits and Mysteries in Animation Games (PS1/PS2)

My first video of the New Year focuses on my own personal top ten weird parts and mysteries from PS1 and PS2 animated movie tie-ins or franchise spin-offs. This includes games based on animated feature length movies, TV shows, and classic cartoons. Some are just things I find odd or obscure while others (particularly the later additions to the list) I regard as being mysteries. Of course, there's a chance some of you may have the answers to some, so feel free to comment.

SPOILER: In addition to this video, to back up my final 'mystery' in the list, I have provided a playthrough of the entire Casper game (Interplay, 1996). There's no commentary; it is literally just a playthrough of the game. So if you fancy being bored out of your mind for two hours, check it out:
