Borrowing from the Ace Ventura cartoon series, the game features all the
same gags, mannerisms, and obnoxiousness from the world's famous pet detective -
the kind of stuff that's so stupid, you have no choice but to laugh. And it's the
humor that keeps the game afloat. Once again, Ace is on the case, this time
traveling the earth looking for a lost creature. A lot of it is so simple, you'll
figure out that the game is partly designed for young children. The objects and
scenes have that bright, bulky Fisher Price quality. And if you ever actually get
stuck, a special button on Ace's watch delivers audio clues that take out most
of the guesswork. The various puzzle-filled scenes are sporadically broken up by
arcade-lite action. Slightly challenging tasks like swimming through the murky
waters of the deep, avoiding trash and oil slicks, and getting in a basic laser
fight are a nice way to mix things up. This is a fun but short game. |
