I didn’t really get a chance to try this out as few of my friends have a DS and none of them would be caught dead with a game like this.
It just is.īeyond the story is a simple multiplayer mode where you compete to see who can survive the longest. It might not be much, but its what you’d expect and it isn’t all that bad. It’s straight up good guys against the bad guys. There’s no characterization to speak of, nor are there any hidden meanings to ponder over. It’s up to you to save your buddies and get the tablets back.īeyond the setup, there really isn’t a story. The kidnapped comrades are set to be brainwashed and the tablets are surely going to be used for evil. It turns out that two evil ninjas have broken in, kidnapped the rest of the team, and stole four mystical tablets. From there, you receive a message from team headquarters that something has gone wrong. The beginning of the game has you choosing one of six hamsters. Besides, its not my job to judge the Zhu Zhu Pets franchise. Let’s make a couple of good ninjas too.” I’d almost call the idea despicable, but its nothing new in the toy industry or any other children’s entertainment industry. We’ll have good old fashioned American heroes against mysterious ninjas from the far east. Therefore, let’s give these hamsters swords, guns, and grenades.
#ZHU ZHU PETS GAME DS SERIES#
“We need to make a branch of this series that appeals to young boys. I can just imagine the meeting where the creators of Zhu Zhu Pets came up with this. The question here is, what kind of licensed game with Kung Zhu end up being? Is this nothing more than a broken, cheap cash in, or is there something more to it that could actually keep gamers entertained? For the brief amount of time that it took me to demolish those games, I was having a pretty decent time. The scores may not be great, but that’s mostly due to poor value and lasting appeal. Take a look at Garfield’s Fun Fest or Aliens in the Attic. I’ve played a great number of licensed games on the DS, and I’ve found that a surprising number of them are far better than they should be. All I can remember thinking was “why does this game come with a horrible looking hamster toy?”Â.Īnyways, despite my trepidations, I wasn’t upset or even annoyed that I’d be reviewing this game. Heck, the first I heard of Zhu Zhu Pets was probably a few weeks ago when I noticed the games in the stores. I’ve kind of been oblivious to the whole Zhu Zhu Pets phenomenon Then again, I seem to miss most of the big fads these days apart from Silly Bandz, and that’s only because those things are sold everywhere.
