Poptropica Adventures
SCORE: 58
My boys were all into Poptropica on the PC. They found out about this game at school. Nothing like the public education system spreading important lessons like which video games they want you to play and support. I have always been more of a console and handheld guy whenever possible. So when I saw Poptropica Adventures on the Nintendo DS I immediately went to work to get a copy. Saved up for some months to be able to purchase this hand held cash in attempt by Ubisoft.
First and foremost Poptropica Adventures is a waste of money for anything over five dollars. There are three worlds and very little to do. This DS game starts players in the museum. We are tasked with fixing it up by bringing back the exhibits. This is done by going to the world associated with it and completing a couple of quests. Along the way we play a few mini games and deliver items to people. Then it is back to the museum to deliver the cargo.
Poptropica Adventures contains a super hero area, a Greek mythology area, and a castle area with an alien influence. The whole Greek thing was ultra religious. Out of the twenty to thirty areas they could have picked from the Personal Computer game, it seems like a really odd pick.
Characters look the same in Poptropica Adventures, and there is a wide array of customization. The music is nice in Poptropica Adventures. I enjoyed listening to this hand held game while I was playing it. The game play is absolutely lame. We go on scavenger hunts for items, or to find the people with the items.
If you get stuck in Poptropica Adventures you need to realize one thing - many of the background images can be jumped on. I know this can be confusing. Poptropica Adventures does not offer any aid, assistance, or hints in where to find the various items. Looking all around every little area in that world will generally produce the items.
Pass on
Poptropica Adventures, and you can thank me later. I was really let down
by this DS game.
