Starring side-scrolling platform
Hero James Pond and his merry band of
"Aquabats," The
super Aquatic Games is a collection of cutesy sporting
events such as the 100 Meter Splash, Shell-Shooting, Bouncy Castle and
Long Jump. Some of the games require rapid button-mashing to increase
speed while others require more esoteric control techniques (such as
Juggling, which asks gamers to rotate the control pad). Fans of
American Gladiators may enjoy the game to some degree, and the
characters are colorful and cute, but the monotony of the gameplay and
the over reliance of mindless button mashing makes the game a shallow
experience.
