Don't you
think that Willy Wombat looks familiar? Yes? Well that is probably
because the character artwork for this game is by Susumu Matsushita
Company who made the Famitsu (Famous Japanese Games Mag) characters and
the characters for Space World which is a theme part in Kita Kyushu /
Yahatta Japan. Not that far from where I live actually.
Willy Wombat tries so hard to be a big player in the world of
platformers but just doesn't cut it. There's cheesy pop music and
between level cut scenes full of speech. The whole thing is in English
too for that extra cool factor. But none of it works because of the
design. It's just put together in such a cheap looking way and not to
mention that the game is so dull to play which doesn't help matters.
Willy Wombat as a game is quite nice for a level or two. Solid 3D worlds
viewed from an isometric type camera which can be rotated at will using
the L & R buttons. Decent controls and just above average graphics. The
problem is that every level is the same and things soon start to become
repetitive. I played for a good hour and found it more of a chore than
fun to continue playing, which is not a good thing at all.
