Doraemon

"Do I hear Shigeru Miyamoto calling in a lawsuit?"

INTRO: Okay,I remember always watching this cartoon when I was little and enjoying it. I've always got whatever merchandise of it that came out. I loved the Famicom game of Doraemon,but the N64 one was a sad mistake! This game was an insult to what I wanted and what I have loved!

Okay *winces*,here comes my opinions....

STORYLINE:You are Doraemon, a blue robot cat from the famous sino-Japanime that must travel around with you friends to get some sort of treasure or......something. Geez, I don't even remember anymore.I thought the anime's plot was cute,but this game's plot wasn't cute at all,it was just as non-sensical as Final Fantasy VIII's plot!

Yes folks,it was that bad!

CHARACTERS: The lovable characters in the cartoon are here,but too bad they are all ''pooled'',so they all have the same dang abillities as Doraemon.It was not even worth having to save them in certain stages.

GRAPHICS: Owwwww,my eyes! So much blocks to be put in a lego commercial! No,I'm not picky on graphics,it's just hard to tell one thing from another,not to mention that it is ripping off Super Mario 64! Law suit,Law suit!

PLAY CONTROLL: Ow,ow, my delicate thumbs!!!

*grabs controller and slams it down*

Basically,you can tell that I HATE the play control in this game.Plus,the angles were as fun as being on a rocking cruise boat and just as nauseating!

CHALLENGE: Hard,very very hard! I could not even focus well even on the first stages and it was a chore to get through other ones to save your buds.Even though this is a kiddy game,I even know little kids whom don't want to play this game.This is probably the type of game that I'd play,just so the little hyperactive ones would just go to bed!

For example:

KID: Mitora,I don't wanna go to bed, I want to party all night long!
MITORA:Fine,remember the Doraemon game that you were dying to get on the N64? Want to play that?
KID:No Mitora,I thought that game was a bore.I'll be good and go to bed *runs off and goes to sleep instantly*

OVERALL: If you see this Doraemon game anywhere, do not even touch it! Watch the cartoon or play the older games instead. This is even an insult to Doraemon fans out there!Or if you want a GOOD N64 platform game,play Super Mario 64.

WOULD MITORA PURCHASE THIS GAME: Only if I wanted to go on an Acid Trip (^-^). But other than that, no way in a blue moon!
