Chocobo GP
SCORE: 81
I had some fun performing a live stream of
Chocobo GP on the Nintendo Switch. If you missed it you can find it in
the videos section of the Family Friendly Gaming website. It is so
strange to hear the final fantasy celebration music after completing a
race in Chocobo GP. The kart racing action can get crazy in Chocobo GP.
There are all kinds of power ups and each character has some cool
charged power that can be used.
Chocobo GP looks decent and there are some nice animations. There are
plenty of unlockable characters within Chocobo GP. I played a bit of the
story mode and unlocked a few of them. I did some research and found
micro transactions were being used to unlock certain characters. That is
really lame after families already paid money for this game. Plus the
content is on the game cartridge locked behind a pay gate. That does not
sit very well with me.
I did get a little sick after playing Chocobo GP. Certain things like
the warping farther down the race track did not sit well with my brain.
I did feel better a little later after playing Chocobo GP. You might
want to limit game play sessions if you get headaches from certain video
games. There is violent content as racers will launch a plethora of
powers at one another. I like the skipping that Chocobo does with his
charged power up. I think he is invulnerable. Speaking of that I am not
certain what the point of the shield is in Chocobo GP. I would get a
shield, turn it on and then get hit by a wide array of different
attacks. It did not block much of anything.
The computer racers taught me shortcuts in the ten different race tracks
within Chocobo GP. Four family members can enjoy Chocobo GP at the same
time. Chocobo GP can also be played online. A free seven day trial is
included and then additional payments are required to continue to play
Chocobo GP online. These mega wealthy companies are really constantly
trying to find more and more ways to part us from our money.
Chocobo GP is a cute racer where luck seems more prevalent than skill. I
could get juggled by multiple computer controlled characters within
Chocobo GP and go from first to last. If that happened in the last lap
before getting to the finish line then I had a really bad race. If you
can get out in front ahead of the fray you have better chances of
winning. Things like getting frozen and death can be real problems
within Chocobo GP. The Final Fantasy theme runs deep in Chocobo GP. The
goofy story in Chocobo GP was uncomfortable at times.
