Kim Possible: Kimmunicator (DS) - Live Forum Review

The game is loaded, and apparently I have to touch the screen for a while to even start it up. Like five seconds long. It's a "thumbprint scanner."

Unlike other games (Tak 3) that have a similar gimmick, there's no way to skip it by hitting Start.

God help me.

:lol Can you at least touch Shego's boobs?

:lol Your avatar is so fitting right now.
 
Okay, passed the training segment (:lol) easily. It was all dodgy platforming, fighting against the poor physics, and not laughing at the cobweb shooting flashlights the bad guys have.

Combat's decent, I guess. You get jump, kick, and punch, much more than most licensed games think to give you--but you can duck most attacks. Nice. Moreso, if you come up a ladder, you'd better be prepared to lose 1/3 of your health, since enemies will take that point in time to shoot you.

I dunno, maybe I'm cynical. But right now I'm fighting toasters in a mall, and I just beat the shit out of a soda vending machine. So I'm not certain of wtf is going on.

edit: A toaster just hit me through a wall.

And now I quit that for a while. I had to fight a guy with a helicopter chair or something or other. His name was "Frugal Lucre," which means he's cheap and rich. But he's wearing a Wal-Mart vest.

Even though he was in jump kick range, or I could shoot a grapple up and mess up his helicopter chair, I had to kick toasters at him.

Toasters...

You are doing the work no one else will do. Your name will forever live in our hearts as a great man who sacrificed his sanity for money.

It's the art style!

Pointy boobs ftw? >_> <_<

In-game, her breasts are rather large and rounded. It's somewhat distracting. Well, past the drunken stagger she does when she finishes a misison, and the broken ankle that results.
 
Thanks Matlock!

If not for this topic, I will never know the existence of this game!

Now, to make the "finishing Him", put some pictures!

Yeah, he's one of Kim's lesser known enemies--an employee from the local "Smarty Mart" who is pretty much low budget on everything--he tied up Kim and Ron over a wading pool full of teeny snapping turtles and also, he carries out his schemes from home IIRC. Good episode though. One of the better ones. Shame good games didn't come out of this cartoon as it does indeed rock. Or so my 2 kids tell me. :D

And for the record, Shego is where it's at.

The sad part is that the material of this franchise has so much potential in game form. Disney needs to stop using their crappy in-house developers and license their characters to good developers like they did in the 8/16-bit days. I'd love to see what Capcom could do with the Kim Possible license :D

Oh, there's no question for the potential; it's through the roof. Get some of the actual writers from the series plus Capcoms Mega Man Zero team and BAM! Instant gold!

The second and third GBA games were actually supposed to be really good. Or so I thought, anyway.
 
Okay, so far it's just a kinda eh 3D actioner...but it comes from a direction that I can completely understand. Think of a mixture of Bionic Commando and Prince of Persia--sans weapons.

It's...decent. Not really my cup of tea, and looks like it'll be 3 hours long.

Still, the clipping is inexcusable. :|

*Seanbaby.

When Matlock reviews a That's So Raven game, I'll be impressed.

Yu Yu Hakusho Tournament Tactics
Zoo Tycoon DS

Heh.

I see you've figured it out, but the trick is that you can't actually put your thumb to it -- that overloads the DS's touchscreen sensitivity. You have to put only a little bit of your thumb on the screen.

:lol

I didn't notice that, I used the stylus. In-game, I used the top of my fingernail (er, or whatever you call it--not the edge, but the nail itself. the plane, not the edge)...heh.

It doesn't look so bad...

*runs*

Admittedly, the more I play it the better it gets. It's retardedly short, the combat is horrible, but the platforming is pretty damn keen for the most part. It's like a mix of classic Prince of Persia and Bionic Commando.
