Arthur! Ready to Race [U] ISO
Description :
Arthur! Ready to Race is a 2000 PlayStation game developed and published by Mattel Interactive. Arthur! Ready to Race is based on the TV show Arthur. It was released on December 12, 2000.
Blargh, some shows are better left with ABSOLUTELY NO GAMES made for
them. Arthur is the perfect example of this. I mean, it's not like the
game would have won too many buyers, except for little kids who really
fancy the show... so in my opinion all the time that the Learning
Company spent on making this game was purely wasted and thrown down the
drain. Add to the fact the fact that the game is bad. Really, this game
sucks. The game isn't even a racing game, as a matter of fact. It fits
more in with the adventure type of game, but the length and lack of fun
factor even shake it off that genre.
For those of you who are unknown of who Arthur is, he is a popular cartoon TV series, and as you can see, the Learning Company should have known better than to have to make a game out of it! They need at least a little bit of common sense, that GAMES BASED ON SHOWS FRIGGIN' SUCK. THEY SUCK MY DUCK. Ahem... sorry about that. Arthur: Ready to Race has no real good points. Featuring quite pixelated graphics, ear-breaking sound, a piece of turd worth of story, and awful gameplay, it would be quite difficult to find some good parts of this trash.
The story is pretty lame to say the least, but this is the story of the game: Arthur and his friends are bored to death one day and need something to do. A poster falls to the ground for a race, and the Brain (his real name is Alan Powers, a character from the TV show if you're wondering what I'm talking about) shows Arthur a car in his garage, but it's not fast enough nor does it have proper parts. So it's Arthur's job to find parts for the car. Not only is this story extremely unoriginal, but it's ground-breakingly tedious as well. The Learning Company really screwed up here.
Control in this game is fine, I guess. Arthur does move where you want him to move and the game is compatible with the Analog Sticks, but the only problem is that Arthur moves far too slow. It takes him forever to get to one side of Elwood City to the other, even though Elwood City is very small. Also, he doesn't jump near high enough. In the graveyard game, this is a big minus because of all the logs and things. Other than that, Arthur moves pretty well with that Analog Stick of yours. The control is maybe the only good point in the game.
Arthur: Ready to Race itself is one of the most tedious and short games that I have ever played in my life. Out of all 50-60 games I have, I believe Arthur: Ready to Race is the shortest of all of them. Seriously, a really bad gamer could complete it in less than ONE HOUR. There is just so little stuff you need to do. The game has four puzzles for you to complete: one where you catch Baby Kate before D.W. does, one where you help Binky find his backpack in a graveyard, one where you help Muffy pick tomatoes, and one where you chase after Pal for some turkey. Then you have to do all four of them again. Sound long and hard?
Strange to see it in a Learning Company or a show-based game or something like that, but Arthur: Ready to Race even has some small mini-games. Don't pay one bit of attention to that piece of garbage of an instruction manual though, they are not fun in the slightest. One of them is finding a package or a lost animal... for FIVE COINS. Seriously, five coins can be found around very easily, and we have things better to do than chase after something that we have no clue where it is. There are also a few other things that have no meaning to the game whatsoever, so go figure.
And that's not to mention the game's severe lack of challenge. Of all the puzzles up there, not one is even remotely difficult. After you complete them all once, the difficulty goes up by a long shot, but it still isn't hard at all! I simply can't imagine anyone struggling through this game, and if they do, they need serious help. So a game lacking fun and challenge would sound like an educational game too, but Arthur: Ready to Race is not even an educational game, even though it's from the Learning Company. That means that the game has nothing to offer for gamers. It even has a horrible ending. What a crappy game.
The graphics featured in Arthur: Ready to Race are none other than the most pixelated graphics I have yet to see in a video game. I've seen better looking games for NES and SNES than this... the characters hardly look like they do in the show. The backgrounds are simply horrible, and the trees just look completely flat. As a matter of fact, everything looks entirely flat. I just cannot stand looking at these graphics for a long period of time without throwing up. It just has no animation and is more pixelly than any game I've ever seen. These have to be the worst graphics on PSX.
Most of the music isn't _that_ horrible, but it still gets bad enough. There really isn't that much of it in the game. Most of it in Elwood City is just about average, and the music in the ending and in a dream Arthur has halfway through the game isn't that bad. The sound is perhaps the worst part of the entire game. I'm just saying you'll want to play this game on mute. Arthur doesn't sound ANYTHING like he does in the show. His rather girlish voice is okay at first but it'll soon make you scream. The sounds from cars are pretty bad, and other voices in the game are also equally horrible. It's a shame, really.
Something tells me that replaying this game is like jumping off the Grand Canyon. Once I completed this game, I said, ''Hmm, that was IT? Good god, what a waste of $10. I'll just put it under my bed forever.'' Ever since that scene three years ago, I have never touched this game again. I doubt I will ever even look at it once again. This game features a multiplayer mode in the races where you complete the race, another person plays the race, and the scores are compared. Not even this mode is in the least bit fun. Trust me, you will never, ever want to touch this game again once you complete it. You won't even want to complete it.
Arthur: Ready to Race is a terrible game. I feel this game does deserve a 1, but as it has a little good music I'll give it a 2/10 instead. Really, I'm such a kind soul. Featuring the worst graphics I have ever seen in a PlayStation game, the most horrible sound that has ever tortured my poor ears, a very tedious story and a game that is so boring that you won't even want to complete it, let alone play it again, it's very hard to see light through this package, which is why I give it one of the lowest scores I can. Better luck next time, Learning Company.
