The Princess Bride Game Review

Tag : washing item


The main problem with the Princess Bride Game is that since thegame is aimed at a younger demographic, it is extremely easy. Whilethe first mini-game is the most complex out of the five and getsprogressively more challenging, that isn't saying much. It'ssupposed to be complex in the way that real-time strategy gamesmake you micromanage tactics, but in the end, doing chores feellike, well, chores.

Meanwhile, the trivia portion of the game will have you scratchingyour head, not because the queries are so challenging, but becausethey are so mind-bogglingly easy. One question displayed a pictureof a candle holder with four candles, and asked, "How many candlesare there?" Another question asked me, "Does a candle light up ordarken a room?" Of course, all of us intellectuals know that a litcandle darkens a room, but this game is obviously skewed toward amuch more, shall we say, younger demographic. If you're readingthis complex piece of literature, which you are, you need notapply.

The platforming segments are shallow and equally easy. It's almostimpossible to die because obstacles don't often hit you. And whenthey do, they don't hurt much. As for the Where's Waldo segments,those can be pretty fun if you're into those books; however, eventhat mode is easier than it should be because the backgrounds arepretty small. The fifth mini-game, which forces you to find andclick on items in the various cinemas, is a cute idea to wrap upthe game, but comes off as a little tacked on.
