Review by Dizzy Anonymity

"Prehistoric Crap."

Introduction
Once the Playstation's successor, Playstation 2, was released, the Playstation was swarmed with a bunch of low quality kiddie games. The Land Before Time: Big Water Adventure is one of these.

Graphics: 4/10
The graphics are low quality 2d. The characters don't look too bad. Heck, neither do the levels. The problem is that every single level looks the same. Oh, there may be an extra tree here or an extra chasm there, but thats it. The game is the most unoriginal piece of junk ever.

Story: 1/10
Story? What? Huh? Forget that..... The Land Before Time: Big Water Adventure is so cool that it doesn't need a story. Or at least not a good one. The dinosaurs simply have to help their friend Moe get home. Moe is a swimming dufus which lives in the ocean.

Gameplay: 1/10
Here is where the game performs the worst. There is absolutely no reason to put any effort into this game. You can not die at all, so you don't really have to try. If you fall off a cliff, then you get transported directly back to the ledge that you were just standing on, and can try the jump again. There are no enemies to hurt or kill you. Yes, let me say that again. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO ENEMIES IN THIS GAME. You can not get a game over, and I can't comprehend any way that you could possibly lose in this game. The game does have a lot of levels, but all of them together can be beat in less than an hour. You go through levels collecting leafs, but I'm not sure why seeing how YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO ACTUALLY LOSE IN THIS GAME. There is also a secret level where you control Moe and have to swim through hoops. I had to turn the game off at this point because the originality and excitement was killing me.

Music/Sound: 1/10
Its a low budget game with low budget sound. The sound effects are terrible, especially when the dinosaurs are ''talking''. I have talking in quotations because its more like constipated grunts.

Replayability: 5/10
Since the game is so easy, you can easily play through it with each of the five characters in less than three or four hours. But I'm not sure why you would want to, seeing as how every character's game is the exact same.

Overall: 1/10
This game is terrible. There is no challenge or fun-factor included in this game. The only thing this game has going for it is.... oh nevermind, the license is bad too.
