Back for another round of fun and laughs is
everyone’s favourite little yellow sponge-thing, in SpongeBob
SquarePants: Creature From The Krusty Krab, but now on
Nintendo’s Wii when it’s launched, and by the look of it, it’s not
going to be high on anyone’s wish-list when the Wii comes out; as
there will be many other titles coming out on the system that will
really show it off.
Little was shown of the main game at
E3, all that was playable in the Preview Code was a flying section,
which worked fairly well with the ship on a set linear-course. The
aim was to guide the ship through narrow tunnels, caverns and space,
shooting any obstacles or enemies that get in the way, whilst
collecting Rocket Fuel along the way in small yellow canisters and
larger green ones which keep a meter on the top of the screen filled
to stop your ship from crashing.
Nothing truly impressive,
graphically, there’s little that the GameCube or even the Nintendo64
couldn’t handle. The visuals are cartoony and vivid but hardly
detailed or even
 stylised. The control system was simple but didn’t
feel accurate, making it tricky to aim and awkward to avoid
obstacles. Movement was limited to moving up and down, left and
right with small flicks of the controller with the B Button used to
fire a gun.
It’s easy to tell this is aimed at a
younger audience or fans of the show and previous games but for most
this probably won’t interest due to its simplicity and lack of any
real difficulty apart from the difficult controls, lets hope they
sort out the control system and the rest of the game may be
something to look forward to. |
