The gobbos game

One of the first puzzles you will get is the old "Gobbo under a hat" puzzle, only this time the Gobbo is under a box. The boxes then shuffle and you have to follow the box that the Gobbo is under. If you pick the correct box, you will save him. If not, you will have to start the level over This really helped to keep the game from getting monotonous. This game did have a couple of nagging problems.

For one, the levels got to be a bit repetitive. Sure, they looked different, but you were really just doing the same thing over and over. Jumping on platforms and smashing boxes gets tiring after a while. Like I said above, the puzzles did help break this up some, but it still got to be a little monotonous. The second problem was the worst and it was one that actually affected the gameplay.

In my book, this is the worst kind of problem. In short, the problem was with the camera angles. There were more times than I can count in which the game had some messed-up camera angle that caused me to miss a jump or fall to my death.

There is a button that allows you to manually adjust the camera, but I found that it helped only sometimes at best. A perfect example is one time I walked behind a huge rock. The camera did not follow Croc, but instead gave a nice close-up of the rock. I tried to use the camera adjustment button to no avail. Unfortunately, the rock was right next to a lava pit and since I could not see Croc at all, he walked directly into the lava.

One of the most important things in a platform game is the control. The controls in Croc were fine, but the camera angles would constantly keep you thinking about what you were doing. All of the successful platform games allow the gamer to worry about the challenges on the screen, and not making sure your character is lined up correctly or not.

You should be able to race through the levels, jumping from platform to platform without having to think about things. I think it would have been better to use a chase view so that whichever way Croc was facing, that would be the middle of the screen.

There were just too many occasions that Croc would be looking one way and the camera another. This is where Croc really shines. Fox Interactive did an awesome job creating a 3D world. Sign In.

Top credits Star Jonathan Aris voice. You play Croc, a cute Crocodile who's trying to rescue his even cuter friends the Gobbos from bad guy, Baron Dante. The game is basically a 3D platformer with some puzzle elements thrown in. You navigate the levels in 3D, controlling Croc from the third-person perspective behind his back as he negotiates various traps and obstacles and deals with monsters. Croc can perform a wide range of attacks and movements, all of which are nicely animated.

He can run, jump, climb, swim and dive, hit enemies with his tail, hang from ledges and drifting balloons, and stomp. He can also perform special moves like a quick degree turn and a super-stomp, which is the most effective way to destroy stacked crates that get in the way. The game has clearly been designed with younger gamers in mind: there is very little violence in the game, as Croc carries no weapons and monsters simply disappear when hit much like Super Mario games.

You can tell that it wouldn't be as good as Super Mario 64, but there has been better 3D platformers since afterwards. Retro80sMan 12 points. Helpmepleaseshit 0 point.
