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

Thanks to Jacob Lippincott for the request! I hope I did the game justice. I also have this nagging feeling someone requested this a while ago but I apparently never made a note of it, which is very unlike me, so apologies if you did and I didn't credit you for the request! I scoured my comments and messages but to no avail - sorry! :( I feel shame.

Also, I rarely plug this, but if you would like to support this channel, please feel free to check out my Patreon: patreon.com/idonthaveanose


This month I'm taking a look at a game based on one of Disney's few stinkers - Chicken Little. It looks good from a distance, but sadly this game is no spring chicken.

In fact, it's pretty damn difficult! The controls are awkward and while the level design is fairly neat at times, it becomes a little repetitive towards the end. That said, it's not the worst movie tie-in, and is nonetheless enjoyable on the whole. Will it prove to be a good egg? I don't have high hopes.

Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!


Who else has always wanted the chance to play as Wile E Coyote? Well, you can't. But you CAN play as his cousin, the so-not-similar-looking Ralph Wolf, in Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf - also known as Sheep Raider in some regions. And boy, am I surprised at its shear difficulty (get it?)!


This game is extremely challenging, and sees you having to actually THINK like a cartoon character, the goal simply being to steal all the sheep from Sam Sheepdog's flock without getting caught. Bizarrely, this game is seldom talked about, which is a shame considering how well-made it is. Indeed, amid the other standard cartoon action platformers, this game stands alone - you might say it's something of a black sheep itself.

Thanks to Robocop for the request! I hope I did the game justice and that you enjoyed!

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


Back in 2004, Disney Interactive presented us with the opportunity to play as our favourite Incredible family. But is it as incredible as we all hoped?



Well, for the most part, the game is pretty interesting, and as far as movie-based games go, it’s not bad at all! The ability to play as four members of the Parr family really helps keep the momentum going, although one or two flaws sadly make the overall experience feel somewhat less-than-super.

Disney's Action Game Featuring Hercules (PS1) - i don't have a nose Video Review!



By the gods! Could it be? Another video review! Indeed it is! This month, we take a look at Disney’s elaborately titled Action Game Featuring Hercules. Released in 1997, this game is commendable for its visual design more than anything, in that it REALLY does look like the movie. Sadly, it obviously doesn’t bear the same godlike strength as it did in the late 90s, but does this offering still hold up?


Absolutely not. It’s entertaining as a nostalgic diversion, and some levels are admittedly well-made. Most of the items are hidden rather well, and there is some challenge to it. But ultimately, Hercules ain’t the impressive muscleman we all fondly remember. It’s a decent enough movie tie-in for its age, but this game is hardly a gift from the gods!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my subscribblers! Please remember to give me a like on Facebook, and if you really like my videos, why not become a patron too? I aim to make one video a month, although due to other commitments, there are times this may not be possible (I will try to let you know in advance, however). Links can be found below. Thanks for all your support and I’ll be back in the New Year! It’s been a real slice!

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


My Spidey sense is tingling! This month I take a retrospective look at PS1 hit Spider-Man! Does the web-wielding wall-crawler still weave a worthy wander through his so-called friendly neighbourhood?



Surprisingly, the game holds up well, even despite subsequent games in the Spidey franchise that have vastly improved the gameplay mechanics. Swinging and slinging from level to level, Spidey thwarts a bank heist, saves J Jonah Jameson, outruns a police chopper, and even manages to escape the chilling tones of Stevie Wonder!

Disney's The Haunted Mansion (PS2) - i don't have a nose Video Review!


It's Halloween! And what better way to celebrate than by reviewing one the creepiest games Disney have ever released. No kidding - despite being marketed as a kids' game, this is surprisingly spine-chilling. Though the biggest surprise of all is that this has little to do with the Eddie Murphy movie. Rather, this game focuses on Zeke Halloway, who's recruited by medium Madame Leota to rid a mansion of evil spirits and to overthrow the evil Atticus Thorn. Or, as I like to call him, Barrel O'Laughs Barry.



This has to be one of the most underrated Disney games I've ever played. While the gameplay itself leaves a little to be desired, the creativity is outstanding. Each and every room has its own unique qualities, and while some are more impressive than others, on the whole, this game is a hauntingly beautiful representation of what a good Disney game can be. Who you gonna call?
