Glover

"Who thought the world would depend on a Glove?"

Glover is a very strange game realesed by Hasbro on the Nintendo 64, in I think 1998. It is a pretty fun game, but it could have been better.It has seven different worlds, all different than the other. Each world has 3 levels, and 1 bonus level. You can carry 6 files, and it has a Time-Attack feature, also. Read on and enjoy this review ^_^

Story:7/10-The story goes like this: One day, a magical, four fingered wizard was working on one of his potions, when something goes horriblly wrong. The wizard creates an explosion, and he goes flying through the floor of the his castle, and gets turned into a statue. One of his gloves falls into the potion, and becomes known as the evil Cross-Stitch. The other glove flies out the window, and becomes Glover. The explosion make seven crysal balls, that protect the castle fall off, and will soon be destroyed, and the world will end. Thinking quickly, Glover turns them all into bouncy balls with his magic. Six of them go into a different world, that he has to find and return to the wizard. He catches one of them, and takes it to the wizard, and Glover promises to help him. So that's the story.

Gameplay:7/10-The objective of the game is to find seven magical crystal balls. The controls are like DK64 in a way. A jumps, and slaps your ball, B throws your ball, Cv changes your view, C<&> also changes your view, C^ makes you look throught Glover's eyes, R changes your ball, Z make you crawl, and you can move with either the Control Pad, or Control Stick.

Audio/Video: 9/10- The graphics are pretty good, and the sounds are OK. I hardly ever see are problems or glitches in the graphics, but they aren't realistic. The sound is clear, and is almost perfect.

Replayablity:3/10-When you beat it, what's there left to do? Well, beat it again. But that's no fun. Boost up your score, and complete it. After that this game is no fun anymore.

Buy or Rent?- Well, you should rent it first, and see if you like it. It's a great game for ages 4-10. You should try to get it for a birth day or Christmas. It works. I got this game for my sister's 8th birthday, and she still loves it. And it's really cheap, also. It's only about twenty bucks.

Well, that concludes my Glover review. I hope you enjoyed it ^_^
