The story of Bubsy 3D is so stupid you think it was made by a 3 year old, ok so the story is the Woolies from the first game wanting to kidnap Bubsy and keep them on their planet so he doesn't stop the Woolies from taking the yarn from Earth, and the Woolies think that Bubsy will take rockets and atoms found on their planet to go back to Earth, and the Woolies call the rockets and atoms useless and abundent resources on thier planet which is dumb because they kidnapped Bubsy in a rocket powered by atoms. The Woolies make the bad guy from the PS1 Game Rascal seem smart.

Controls and Gameplay

- - -

First the controls and oh my gosh they are awful! To really understand what i'm saying you need to play it for yourself, first up walking, see Bubsy doesn't walk around normally like Mario in Super Mario 64 or Crash Bandicoot, instead he moves like a tank. Bubsy can only move straight forward and straight back, you can turn with left and right but it's so slow, if you run and turn you barely turn, maybe at like a 10 degree angle. Next up is jumping, you jump with the X button, everytime you jump the camera looks at the ground, and when you try to jump on enemies they are hard to land on because the hit detection is poor. You can hop side to side with L2 and R2 but i never use it because it works when it feels like it. You can glide with the triangle button, but they glide is awful to, when you glide you press triangle and you a small jump and start to glide but you fall so heavy you get no distance. You can crouch with the O button, i used it once, on a moving platform avoiding projectiles. Now time for the game play, the gameplay is like any other platformer, jump and collect stuff, the collectables consit of atoms and rockets, atoms are annoying to get, since the hit detection is garbege it's hard to get them, every 50 you get, you get another hitpoint, get 100 get an extra life, only Bubsy game to do that and it's the last one. There are power ups to, they are all worthless except the lighting bolt and double life up, lighting bolt you're invincable and double life is helpful. Enemies consist of the woolies, jump on their head and they die, simple, most annoying enemy are these see through snakes that you can't kill, and everytime you get hit you are stunned for 5 seconds, so if you don't get out fast enough they'll combo you, another annoying enemy is the starfish and dogfish, they come out of the bad camera in the water levels and eat you, oh yeah water levels, i'll to that in a bit. With the platformeing stages, sometimes jumping on a platform is hard to do because you can only move the camera left and right and down, so you can't see how far the platforms are until you leap. The bosses in the game are stupid, every boss you jump on there head, except the last one where you shoot them with atoms. Oh yeah i forgot about shooting atoms, walk up to and atom and hold spuare and realse when you want to shoot it, but if you hold it for to long it will backfire and you'll take a hit, but you are immune to any attacks. Now the water levels, the water levels aren't as bad as the platforming levels, yes i said that. the controls are a lot better in the water, press X to go down and O to go up. you do need to collect air though. The rockets found inside the levels are pointless to get, it depends on the ending, i like the bad ending because Bubsy gets stranded in space, the good ending is Bubsy gets stuck in prehistoric times. No other game play i can think of except multiplayer, which is try to get more points then your friend. Saving in the game is awkward, either you can use a password or use a memory card, password is pointless because if you can use a memory card, why have a password?

Graphics and Music

- - -

The graphics are abysmal, they look like the pre-alpha version of game grphics, the ground has a checkerboard pattern with little to no textures at all, bubsy is the best model in the game, and that's saying much. The music is nothing good, it sounds like a cat ran across a bunch of instruments with an alien, which sounds like chip tunes, bumblebees and chatter noises. only like 3 decent tracks are in the game.

Final Verdict

- - -

This is the worst game i've ever played, worst than Mindjack, Drake of the 99 Dragons, Sonic 06, Action 52, and Superman 64 combined. My advice is to stay away from this game forever, the worst part is, i got this game for $10.
