For more than 60 years, children and adults alike have followed the tales
of a little monkey named George – known for his fun-loving nature and insatiable
taste for curiosity. The story begins as The Man With the Yellow Hat travels to
the jungle in search of an artifact exotic enough to save the museum where he works.
Naturally, George follows him back to the big city and embarks on a series of
mis-adventures. Players control George as he runs, jumps, climbs and swings his
way around Africa, the museum, The Man With the Yellow Hat's apartment and more –
solving puzzles and interacting with new friends from the movie. Jumping between
platforms and swinging from vines and chains is quite easy. In keeping with the
game's preteen target audience, it's impossible to swing in anything but the right
direction. And, when jumping from said vine, you'll find that George's double-jump
ability is much more powerful than it really needs to be. The only other controls
that you'll really need to concern yourself with are the crouch button, which can
be used to move stealthily and to crawl through air vents, and the interact button,
which can be used anytime that George gets close to an object that he's curious
about - as indicated by a question mark that appears above his head. When you
interact with these objects, which include everything from bees' nests and bushes
to toilets and televisions, you'll be awarded a number of "curious points" that
can be spent on unlocking new outfits for George, movie clips, production art, and
four different minigames titled Boat Deck Boogie, Bubble Trouble, Firefly Follies,
and Balloon Break. |
