Pinocchio
SCORE: 78
As I was rummaging around in the Family Friendly Gaming Vault I noticed Pinocchio on the Genesis. This Disney movie based video game is also on the Super NES. Pinocchio follows the movie quite well with the levels. My biggest issue with Pinocchio is how confusing the levels are. Over and over again I was confused about where to go and what to do in Pinocchio. Little in this retro home console video game is apparent.
Graphically Pinocchio looks good for the era. This is from the past Disney games where the visuals were well renowned. The music in Pinocchio is also exceptional. THQ had a long history of making Disney games and it feels good to play another one of their games again. Since Pinocchio is a retro video game expect to play through multiple levels. Thankfully Pinocchio provides enough levels to make it fair.
Some of the lessons in Pinocchio are to be unselfish, brave, and truthful. These are wonderful lessons that modern day video games should teach. Games like Pinocchio remind us why the retro games are so much better in so many wonderful ways. I enjoyed my time with Pinocchio on the Genesis. I hope to see more games like it in the future.
