PS2 Review: The Adventures of Darwin - Page 2

Thankfully, the soundtrack wasn't as nerve-wracking as the one for Mario Brothers, but that was only because it didn't really stand out. Like much of the game, it wasn't really memorable.

Patient players who are goal-oriented and love to take days to finish a game would probably like this one. However, I suspect most game players these days are more driven for the quick rewards and action of shooters and fast-paced RPGs.

My wife — who loves Pikman, its sequel, and the fact that it takes a long time to finish the game while doing repetitive play — couldn't really get interested in this one either. The idea is sound, the game playing and structure are sound, but the rewards don't come quick enough. A patient player who's determined to see the game through to the end might enjoy this one.

The Adventures of Darwin is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Content Descriptors. This game can also be found on: GBA, GameCube, Nintendo DS, PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360 and Mobile Phone.
