Before I begin this review, I'd like to mention I have played both the GBC version (On Vizzed) and the PS1 version (In real life). Both of these games do differ in some shape or form.
Totally Angelica, is obviously by the cover of the box, a girl's game. But as with any reviewer, one must step out of their boundaries once in a while, as a male (yes, I'm gay, get over it) I found this a rather interesting concept. A 3 year old wandering about the mall, playing mini games with her friends and getting new clothes to enter a fashion show? Original.
First off, take note I am reviewing the Game Boy Colour version of this game, not the Playstation 1 version, however I will note some of the differences.
Graphics - Pixelated, but colourful with interesting backgrounds and shades to choose from, and by shades, I don't mean the designer sunglasses. The PS1 version differs in the fact that the game is in full 3D with cut scenes included.
Sound - As with most retro / old games, the sound is a tad off, but it is a very good game none the less. The PS1 also one-ups this by giving the characters their voices based on the hit cartoon show.
Addictiveness (Still do not think that's a word!) should have a variable button in it, as some of the mini games (e.g. Fluffy's Pinball Maze) are so tedious and take forever to complete. However, I do like many of the games the whole game has to offer.
Story is where this game falls a notch or two, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. A child running round a mall without her parents? Security to Aisle 3!
Depth: As I had just covered, there is little depth in the story to be considered "deep" or "dramatic". It's Rugrats after all, a game about babies who talk and walk when their parents can't see them. No drama whatsoever.
Difficulty should be a variable subject as well as there are some games that are harder than others, the games range from slide puzzles, to hunting bugs and even matching colours.
Overall, the game gets an 8 for very interesting concepts and about an hours worth of amusement before becoming boring. Nothing too bad.
