Freddy Spaghetti
SCORE: 70
I am very thankful Family Friendly Gaming
was given a digital download code for Freddy Spaghetti on the Nintendo
Switch. This downloadable only title can also be found in this exact
version on the Playstation 4, and Xbox One. Dr P Star wants to give
consciousness to some kind of inanimate object. He fails at it again and
again. Then he dreams of spaghetti and tries it. We then take on the
role of Freddy Spaghetti in this video game.
The back story in Freddy Spaghetti is told with some decent voice
acting. We then see a nice looking 3D world from the overhead viewpoint.
From there we must learn how to control our floppy friend. We use one
button to move the left side and one side to move the right side. On the
Nintendo Switch those buttons are ZL and ZR respectively. We can keep
spamming one side to drag along the rest of the noodle in Freddy
Spaghetti.
I ran into all kinds of issues with the controls in Freddy Spaghetti. It
got worse when we had to hold the button to charge a build for a jump.
Why not just make R and L the jump buttons? I can see a variety of gamer
rage quitting on Freddy Spaghetti because of the controls. Those that
stick with it are treated to an interesting storyline. The odd fantasy
world in Freddy Spaghetti made little to no sense to me, but it is
different.
The goal in Freddy Spaghetti is to reach the end zone area. Part of that
for me was finding it. I moved around in the first level trying to
figure out what to do. I eventually stumbled across a shiny circle and
went into it. Then I learned what I needed to do in the next level.
Freddy Spaghetti will explain the additional controls that are added
througout the game. Now making them happen are a completely different
story.
Freddy Spaghetti comes with a lot of personality. Some of the humor
might bother some families. It is better for Family Friendly Gaming to
mention that than have you get shocked. I like the world in Freddy
Spaghetti. The floppy physics can be a bit of a pain at times. I am not
a fan of that control scheme. If you are then you will most likely enjoy
Freddy Spaghetti on the systems it is on. I liked the voice acting –
almost as good as our EIC.
