Astro Bears Party
SCORE: 75
When I first heard of Astro Bears Party on the Nintendo Switch I
immediately thought of Mario Party. I expected Astro Bears Party to be
this lengthy board game with all kinds of mini games in it. I thought it
would have twenty or thirty different games to play. Want to know a
secret? I was wrong. I was off base. I was not near the truth. My wife
is now asking to get: "I was wrong,' on a plaque.
Astro Bears Party is a mixture between Tron and Snake. It depends if you
play the single player mode or the two to four player mode. In the
multiplayer we can pick how large the planet is. In the single player
mode our trailing line grows with each Jetfish we acquire. In the
multiplayer mode that trailing line never gets smaller. That means real
estate on the planet shrinks.
One difference between Tron, Snake, and Astro Bears Party is jumping. We
can jump in Astro Bears Party. That means we can jump over the trailing
colored lines of the other players. Which leaves a trailing colored line
up in the air. There are four bear character to pick from in Astro Bears
Party. I am not sure what Jetfish are, or why we are hunting them in
this downloadable only video game.
I am very thankful Qubic Games sent Family Friendly Gaming a digital
download code for Astro Bears Party on the Nintendo Switch. I love the
3D aspect of running around these planets. I wish there was a way to
have an even larger game play area. Four players on the same planet
fills things up very quickly. Which makes matches pretty short and there
is not much time for strategy.
The music in Astro Bears Party is great. The graphics are indie.
Families can pick how many points they need to get to for one player to
end up winning. There is some definite fun to be had inside Astro Bears
Party on the Nintendo Switch. The short matches did make me feel like so
much more could have been done in Astro Bears Party. Maybe that will
happen in a sequel.
