Trippingly Challenging! LucasMull
Overall: 8.7 Today I'm reviewing this rather obscure GB game: "Trip World". It never had a release in the US making it a very valuable piece amongst cartridge collectors all over the world. You will find a huge similarity between Kirby's Dreamland, but don't let the game's silly look fool you. This game is CHALLENGING. I gave up on trying to beat this the legit way, I had to constantly F2 through the game or else I would have to restart the whole thing (I'm not proud of myself). Alright, no more stalling the subject, here is my review:Graphics: 9 The overall look of the game is very charming, it has the same Kirby Dreamland sort of feeling. Even for a standard black'n white GB game, they managed to make the background sharp and clear, I especially like the transition between scenarios and each enemy's unique look, which correspondent to their moves.Sound: 7 Not surprisingly, the songs and sounds bear a striking resemblance to Kirby's Dreamland. They are catchy, but that's it, pretty standard for this type of game IMO. The game sounds does it job, but it feels as if there isn't much of a variety in them. I noticed a lot of sounds being re-used for different actions, but that's more of a personal complaint.Addictiveness: 8 This game strikes on turning yourself into your own arch-enemy. There were so many occasions in which I got mad to myself for dying in such a ridiculous manner, I unconsciously got better at each game reset. Because this is a challenging game, I would suggest playing this in a real GB, but the odds of you ever finding a original cartridge are so low you should probably scratch that.Story: 6 You are a little bunny creature that lives with his grandfather on a mountain that guards this flower with special powers that keeps peace to the land. And typically, the bad guy comes along, steals the artifact, and then the whole thing starts going downhill from there. Basically, they gave you enough information to give you an objective to look forward.Depth: 7 Not a long game by itself, it can be beaten in less than a hour or so as there are only 5 Worlds in it. But as I stated before this is extremely challenging, and I really doubt someone will beat this at their 1st, 2nd, or even 50th try (or maybe I suck at this?).Difficulty: 8 I think I have said enough times now how challenging this game is, but just to give a clear look: the stages aren't that hard to get through, the monsters aren't that hard to beat and will hardly take a dim out of your life. Then why is it SO hard you ask? Probably because of each of the 5 bosses unique attack pattern, you will die constantly trying to figure out how to beat them effectively, and if that wasn't enough once you lose your three sets of life the game restarts.

Trip World tgags123
Overall (8.5)
Trip World is a fun game about a bunny that goes through different levels. It is very similar to Kirby. The bunny only has a kick as an attack, but can find power ups throughout the game to give him special abilities. It is a good game to play when you are bored and are waiting for something like if you are waiting at the doctor's office or for a bus.
Graphics (7)
The graphics are pretty good for a Game Boy game. It is in black and white, like all Game Boy games, but it has a decent amount of different shades. There background is very boring, but the foreground has decent details
Sound (8)
The music in this game is pretty catchy. It has a feel that is fitting for the game. The sound effects aren't the best, but they aren't terrible. Like most Game Boy games, they are very general and electronic.
Addictiveness (8)
I found this game to be very addictive. I often find addictiveness like this: fun + depth / 2 = addictiveness. In this case I gave fun a 10 and depth an 6, making the addictiveness 8. I still haven't beaten the game yet, so I will definitely come back and play this game again. I didn't even want to stop to write this review!
Story (N/A)
There is no story.
Depth (6)
This game only has five levels. The levels are pretty long, but there are still only five. There is a lot to do in each level, however. And after you beat it, you will want to go back and try to beat your high score.
Difficulty (4)
This is the one main problem that I have with this game - It is way too easy. The enemies don't hurt if you touch them, they have to actually use an attack. The bosses are a little challenging, but aren't overly powerful. There are a lot of open rooms, so it is easy to just breeze through the game. I think the game was originally made for a younger audience.
Trip World is a fun little game to play. I recommend playing it if you are looking for a new game to play. It is pretty easy, and you will beat it rather quickly, but it is still a fun game. Sorry that this review isn't very long, but there isn't really much to say, especially since there is no story.
Tails the Fox: (I hope the summon worked) suggested that I do this review. Thank you Tails the Fox for giving me an idea and for introducing me to this neat little game.
