It can be said that creating a good game is like cooking a gourmet meal. It's not enough to have all the right ingredients, they have to be combined in just the right way, or else the meal comes out wrong. Such is the case with Full Fat's new Gameboy Advance title The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. It could have been so awesome, but they mixed it all up and made something that tastes kind of funny.
As anyone who has watched the show will know, all manners of crazy crap goes down in Billy and Mandy's neighborhood. This time, Grim's mojo balls have been released, infecting the entire town and turning everything evil. Billy, Mandy, and Grim have to fight their way through all the evilness to retrieve all the orbs. There is a story mode for all three characters, as well as a mission section with mini levels. The story modes are very basic beat-em-ups, with a boss at the end. The bosses are villains from the show, so fans of the series will see some familiar faces. There isn't a lot of story to speak of, just an opening and ending screen with a miniscule amount of explanatory text. All three story modes are criminally short. The developers tried to space them out, by having players unlock the modes when they collect orbs in the mission modes. Even with this the story mode can be beat in about half an hour. There just isn't a lot of game there at all.
What is there isn't particularly exciting. The story mode is really just a button masher and doesn't offer too much depth or fun. The missions are where all the gameplay variety comes into the mix. There are six levels of missions, each level getting progressively more difficult. The missions range from have to rush through the level as fast as possible, to trying to survive against constantly spawning enemies for a period of time. There is a surprising amount of variety within the missions, making them the real game. Whereas the story mode only has a couple types of villains to battle, the missions have dozens of enemies. In addition, the levels have different themes, from the basic neighborhood level, to old school eight-bit video game levels.
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy has almost all the right ingredients for a great game. Solid graphics, interesting and varied gameplay, and cool characters are all there, but it's missing a solid story to tie it all together. The game is a bit jumbled, and comes off sloppy as a result. I hope that more Billy and Mandy games are made, because...
