Video Game Reviews of Muppets: On With the Show

Customer Review: A series of short mini-games intended for small children
Summary: 2 Stars

I am a HUGE Muppet fan, having just been to MGM Studios to buy out all the Muppet merchandise they had, and was beside myself when I saw this game was coming out, especially since I recently received the GBA as a gift. I bought it the first day it was out in stores, took it right home...and was just flat out disappointed.

This is a game that is really 6 mini-games. They each have a very short storyline behind them...first, you are Kermit trying to sing a song from a boat while various other Muppets go back and forth on the pond...your mission is to avoid them until your song is complete. Of course, Miss Piggy wants to have the spotlight, so avoiding her is your main concern. Next, you are the Swedish Chef trying to put a culinary creation together while rats try to steal your ingredients. You go back and forth with a pan swatting them away while watching for a chicken who sometimes pops up to throw eggs at you. In another game, you are Gonzo on a little cart trying to hit a certain amount of targets on a race-track type course. Another game has you as Animal, trying to duplicate a beat by hitting the A & B buttons at the appropriate time. Yet another game has you playing as Beaker, trying to take unwanted items off an assembly line that is supposed to be delivering key ingredients to help fuel one of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's machines. All the while, Statler & Waldorf are there to make their amusingly snide comments between every mini-game.

The games are kind of cute, but they get boring very quickly...I had beaten them all in about 20 minutes. If they were just side games as a part of a larger game, it might have been nice...but really, there is so little to this game, I would be stunned if it had a shelf life of more than an hour for most. Clearly, it is focused at very young children, and they may well get more entertainment out of it than I did, but for anyone older than 8 or 9, it's really not worth it. The sound is not even that good...you get some very digital-sound songs (i.e. Swedish Chef's "Bork Bork Bork" tune & some seemingly new songs...not even a good Muppet Theme Song) and the Statler & Waldorf laughing...nothing really memorable aside from that. I REALLY wanted to love this game, and I don't hate it, it was just ridiculously short & shallow. You might do better to wait until this one hits the bargain bins.
