Bubsy Paws on Fire
SCORE: 55
Bubsy has had quite the history in the
video game industry. He was a cool mascot character in the 16-bit era
with some fun video games to play. Accolade tried to transition him to
3D on the Playstation Bubsy 3D. That game was horrible, killed the
franchise, and ran Accolade out of business. Recently Accolade came back
with Bubsy The Woolies Strike Back. The horrible mess of a game should
have been the final chapter of Bubsy.
Somehow we are here with Bubsy Paws on Fire. This game is not as glitchy
as the last one but worse in almost every other regard. Bubsy is now a
runner where we have four characters(Busby, Virgil, Woolie, and Arnold)
to play. We are required to play levels multiple times to earn medals to
unlock additional levels. This made Bubsy Paws on Fire such a
frustrating experience in my opinion. The different characters have
different skills. Woolie flies in an UFO for example.
We can spend items earned in levels on different shirts for Bubsy. The
movie cut scene that welcomed us into Bubsy Paws on Fire was cool. The
voice acting was okay, and the jokes were obvious. We collect yarn or
other items. If we score enough points fast enough we spell BONUS and
the character is one fire. Most of the attempts at humor were poor in my
opinion.
I do not understand why Bubsy Paws on Fire forces us to replay the same
levels as different characters. It made Bubsy Paws on Fire very boring.
I could see that for opening secret levels or something. Let us play one
level and move on to the next level. Do not keep us stuck in a level two
and three times to unlock the next level. What were they thinking?
The last game felt rushed and Bubsy Paws on Fire is honestly not that
different in my opinion. I can still enjoy the 16-bit Bubsy games for
now. Bubsy Paws on Fire further runs the franchise into the ground.
Bubsy Paws on Fire was a mistake from start to finish. Do not spend your
money on this game.
