Pen Pen TriIcelon
Review by Son_Goku
"A very fun, cutesy racing game for all you water animal lovers"
Pen Pen Tri-Icileon is a very fun game, one of the best racing games out there! In this fun racing game, you get to choose an assortment of water animals and use them to race in very crazy courses.
Gameplay 9/10: Learning the controls is very simple in this game, since only two buttons are used. Walking, jumping, waddling, and sliding are the ways of this game, and that makes it very unique from any other racing game out there. Beating the game is simple as well, but yet, it does have its difficulty settings, so it varies.
Audio/Video 10/10: The graphics are...well, super! There's nothing bad about it! The courses are wonderful and have much detail! Even with the add-on equipment which is available in the game, you can make the characters look even more cooler (or lamer if you want to say so) The sounds are excellent! You can hear the penguins waddlem, creaks all over in the haunted house, the sound of their fins pushing the water, almost everything! Not even the music will irritate you, since it has such a good beat.
Replayability 5/10: If you wish to replay this game after beating it, go for it. You can find a lot of things when you play, however, you'll find it boring possibly. Why? Well, since you beat the "hard" courses, there's no sense in deleting your game from your VMU just to destroy everyone again in one hour.
Buy or Rent?: Seriously, rent it if you can. Importing it and spending over $60 is not the way.
Overall 8/10: Pen-Pen Tri-Icileon is a very fun game if you have four friends, just like with games such as Mario Kart. Racing and colliding into each other is definetly better with more people, that's a fact. Sadly, this game is short, but I do love all the graphics and music that were put into this game. Though if you're a die-hard collector of imported games, you should try and play Pen-Pen, you might like it.
