Veggietales: Larry Boy and the Bad Apple Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love LarryBoy and VeggieTales. My son received this game from his grandmother for Christmas. He is a pretty good gamer, however, he regularly needs me to help him complete a level. Moreover it often takes me, an avid gamer, multiple tries to complete the level because LarryBoy falls off of platforms for no reason at all. The control is soft and very inexact - making what should be a basic platformer unbalanced and at times overly difficult. Also, the camera regularly lags behind the action or gives insufficent views of what is happening (such as jumps you are to take or platforms you are to mount).
Finally, on a personal note, I am disappointed by the graphics - which would look excellent on the PS1, but now, at the end of the PS2's lifecycle, we have all come to expect more. I'm especially shocked that a computer animation company wouldn't demand the graphics of this game be closer to the quality of visuals on their computer generated videos.
The bottom line is that my son is still enjoying this game and is still a LarryBoy and VeggieTales fan, but many a young gamer will be unable to play this game entirely by themselves (or without massive frusteration) simply because of sloppy game design.
