I can remember back when I was a kid, my mom got me a Playstation 1 for Christmas. It came with 2 games. A bugs life and the Rugrats game. I played these games until the sun came up. It was my first experience with 3d graphics in this sort of way. The Rugrats game throws you into the world of the cartoon. You will be playing games, running races, and figuring out puzzles all through familiar places with familiar likenesses from the show itself. This is going to be an interesting review! Lets jump right into this! Check out this gameplay footage:
The Good:
This game drops you into an open world INSIDE Tommy's house! Yes I said open world.. meaning you can explore the entire house from the show... among other places to a limited degree. This was pretty awesome for a Playstation game, much less a Rugrats game..

To put a funny comparison on the games style, it reminds me of a kids version of Grand Theft Auto... you will be running around to certain rooms and these rooms will hold the missions.. The missions might take you to another location or keep you in the house... You will do the mission.. and if you pass it successfully you are rewarded. This game will have you on an easter egg hunt, playing mini golf, and running from robots. It was pretty ambitious for a Rugrats game.

The Bad:
Although your appreciate for the free roam Rugrats world will be there, it might piss you off to be running around in circles looking for chuckies damn glasses. A few times in the game I would have a hard time with what was supposed to be a simple task.. this was particularly annoying when the game was glitching.. which yes the game had glitches, but it still made a lot of moves for what it is.
The Ugly:
Seeing 2D cartoon characters in 3D is always ugly.. I dc who they are.. they never seem to transform well.

OVERALL SCORE : 6/10 A FUN GAME TO PASS THE TIME
If you are a fan of the Rugrats and you want to burn some time, this game is a great game to do exactly that. It will have you entertained for a while. I felt some real nostalgia from this game and I cant explain how fun it is to step into a world that I watched for hours upon hours as a kid. All the characters are there. All the locations are there. This really feels like you are in the Rugrats world... Not quite like your playing an episdoe, because its in 3D, but definitely gives you the feel of the world. I hope you enjoyed this review! If you did go ahead an slap an upvote on it, and follow me for more gaming reviews daily! Stay awesome and game on!
