Ah, well, Hello guys! As you guys probably know, I have been on a long enough hiatus from vizzed just to come back with another all new and fresh game review for you guys to read! I never get tired of this guys, So just you guys wait until I have no more to review! But anyways, The game I am reviewing today Is actually?A really good one that I remember from my childhood very very fondly! No It Is Not Mario Or Sonic, But you are then pretty close though! The game I am reviewing today Is from nickelodeon, And Is on the Sega genesis! Okay I'll just tell you guys, This Is Ren And Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention For The Sega genesis! The one thing We ask though is that Is this going to be a good game, Or just another sadistic attempt to cash In on John krisfaulci's iconic duo? Let's get started shall we?Story-7/10Oh man! To tell you guys the truth here, Ren and stimpy have been through alot of cool and wacky adventures in these past few days! The duo has adventured through outer space, Snuck into a police station using special paint to disguise and make themselves look like dogs, travel through Hollywood, and well, They have done tons of other stuff that I can't name! You think they would just take a break from all this, But just see what they have done today! One day stimpy is working on a cool invention when ren hoek just happens to walk In, He asks stimpy what Is this invention, Stimpy tells him It is a new invention that he likes to call the mutate-o-matic, Ren asks what does It do, Stimpy says It transforms garbage into food, He shows ren a demonstration of the invention, But he accidentally sets the level to "NO WAY!" Causing the machine to explode into thousands of pieces! The manual of the machine says "Collect pieces, assemble them to the machine, Deactivate machine." This Is their toughest challenge yet, So help the duo out before they fail the mission! I will be honest here, The story for this game Is really ren and stimpy quality! Anyways, Let's just get to the game shall we?Gameplay-8/10Alright, time to get into the actual gameplay of the adventure Itself! Ren and stimpy: Stimpy's invention Is a 2D platformer where you control ren and stimpy through more then five big and vast levels, Defeating enemies, collecting goodies, and recovering the mutate-o-matic! The controls are easy to get into, A is dash, B is attack, and C is run. You will control ren and stimpy In a orderly fashion, Pressing the action button when near either ren or stimpy will let you perform a special action, such as drilling into the floor, flying in the air, etc. Each level is crazier then the last, some levels have you walking through the city, adventuring through a huge giant freezer, escaping from a huge truck, etc. Every once in a while you will have to fight an easy yet somewhat complicated boss, Like a wrestler, a big automobile, and many other crazy stuff. Once thing you should really hand to this game Is how much of the show's humor the game manages to incorporate into the game itself! For example, one level has you guiding a deflated ren and stimpy through a big dangerous bird house, Second, some of the iconic characters from the show such as Powdered toast man and Mr horse make appearances as well! And that Is pretty cool! Lastly, The duo will be collecting tons of power-ups along the way In their quest, Such as Money which will add to your score, Food which will also increase your score, Health which will restore your health, and tons of other cool stuff!Graphics-9/10This game was made sometime In about 1994, and even for that time, The graphics in this game are absolutely astonish from start to finish! I am not kidding! The game really captures that distinct ren and stimpy feel that we should all know and love, The crude humor, the slapstick violence, and so on! But anyways, Each level In this game really feels big vast and just overall fun to play In! You'll take the gang through a big and cool freezer, A dangerous zoo, A big bird house where they must inflate their way to find the way out, The outdoors which Is lurking with longs and floating eyeballs In the background, and so many more! Now to the actual character sprites movements and animations! And you really really got to hand It to them right here! Ren and stimpy really look like theirselves, Powered toast man Is cool, Mr horse Is solid, and all the other enemies look like your typical stuff, And boy Is It funny to watch Ren and stimpy beating the stuffing Out of each other saying stuff like "YOU DUMB IDIOT!" And other stuff, And Ren and stimpy are still looking good! Ren is still peach short and skinny, Stimpy Is red and somewhat fat, and so on! The HUD In the game Is pretty self explanatory, It displays how many lives you have left, and It also displays how much health you have left until you die! Lose all your health and you lose one life, Anyways, That It It for the graphics!Sound-8/10If there Is one thing that the developers on Sega games and such do not ever get wrong, It has got to be the soundtrack of the game! The soundtrack for the most part Is catchy bright and so cartoony that you will be humming through the whole way through, The neighborhood level has a nice cheery and really happy tone that will help you prepare for the rest of the game In general, The outdoors level has that really exotic quiet and empty feeling as If you are In some sort of alien like planet, The dog catcher chase scene has a good rendition of that old classic chase song they used to play In older cartoons, and many other songs are still pretty good and awesome to listen to! Now for the sound effects, They aren't the best, But they aren't the worst! You have some typical boings when you jump, Squeaks for when you high jump, Pows for when you damage an enemy with your weapon, and a weird sound shutdown like sound for when you are all out of health, None of this stuff has actually gotten repetitive for me believe It or not! That Is a good thing as a video game's soundtrack Is supposed to comfort your ears for the whole ride through. Lastly, the game also uses some sort of voice clips, And here Is what there Is, We have ren saying to stimpy "You Idiot!" When you just slap him for fun, You have ren and stimpy crying whenever you lose a life, And the best of them all, Powdered toast man shouting "Leave everything to me!" Everytime you fall off of the stage Into a cliff, Anyways, That Is It for the sound!Addictiveness-7/10Looking at this game millions of years back, It was a really fun game and an excellent time waster for when I was bored and had nothing to do, and looking at It today, The game still holds up really well as a smart fun and cleverly made 2D platformer that Is fun for all ages! First of all, It Is just controlling Ren and stimpy, When ren and stimpy are together, anything and I say ANYTHING can happen! They can get chased by a big truck or become big inflatable balloons, And get Into all other kinds of trouble! I still play this game mostly just to get some higher high scores and whatnot, and That Is also pretty fun to do as well! The game just mostly has that Distinct Ren and stimpy feel that you have always come to expect from The show Itself, And that Is what makes the game Itself really loads of fun! I hope that you guys will agree so as well! Because Ren and stimpy are still In our hearts, And have yet to be forgotten! I got them on my mind though! And that Is really showing my signs of being a Ren and stimpy fanboy, We loved them back in the day, And we still do now!Depth-6/10Believe It or not, The game Is actually filled with a plenty of cool stuff to do when you are playing, And here Is what I mean when I say that! Well first of all let's get to the length of the adventure, The game Is overall over 6-8 levels long, So that will most likely take you over an hour or 30 minutes or so to finish In a single sitting, And second, The game also offers a multiplayer mode! No, not multiplayer like you see in COD or such, Nice easy and simple multiplayer! Two players can control Ren and stimpy at once, And you can help each other out by using abilities on each other, I will say, This feature has kept me and my friend from elementary quite busy! And we even managed to complete the whole game with each other! Anyways, That Is it for the depth and replay value!Difficulty-6/10I will say, The game has actually proven quite a bit of challenge for me here and there! But that Is GOOD because we all play video games to be challenged and to have fun! Not just for the graphics sound and whatnot! But as we were saying, The challenge Level in this game Is pretty fair throughout the course of the game, and here Is why! Well some levels like the bird house or the dog catcher chase have really troubled me back in the day, The bird house because there are so many obstacles to avoid throughout the level and one touch from ANY of the obstacles counts against a whole lot! Now I say the dog catcher chase level because everything Is going way to fast! And If you slow down even ONCE, Then you better hurry before that truck gets you! But If you are a pro enough gamer, Then this game should go pretty easy for you!Overall-8.2/10I will be honest with you guys here 100%, I really really enjoyed this adventure for the sega genesis! I think this game Is really really fun and just captures all of the charm wit and humor that the TV series had! Now to the scoring reasons, I gave this game a 8.2 because It Is fun, challenging, long, and just a great game In general! I would highly recommend this game to anyone Who is a ren and stimpy fan or anyone who owns a sega genesis! Anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 131st review, and well, I hope to see you guys In my 132th review! If that happens...
