well, now here's a game that is refreshing!
Found it at a flea market and thought it was gonna suck. It is a very colorful game targeting childeren. the bears go camping and you can play as either the boy or girl bear. Brother bear or sister bear. You go into the woods and get points to collect stuff. basic platformer stiff here. There is a certain item you need to collect a lot of, and there are things to help you get that number,

You need to get trout on the first stage and you can get a net to help you. after you get enough you go to a bonus stage where you can get more trout. and then there is the standard "boss" at the end. In this case it's a crazy woodchuck.

Good for kids and some older people if ya wanna try something different, although some jumps need to be precice in order to not get hurt.

This... isn't... that... bad. Don't let the odd choice of license decieve you; the game isn't horrible. It's just average. I can see some young kids really liking this, and I respect that. To top it off, this game plays nicely as a standalone title. Surprisingly decent!

This game has some nice moments but I thought the gameplay was a bit repetative. I suspect a child wouldn't give this a second thought. Its definitely colorful and the parallaxing is a nice touch. The opening sequence and cutscenes are definitely worth a mention. The attention to detail taken with the characters and animations are also noteworthy. It won't be the most impressive thing you've seen but they've captured the look and feel of the license nicely. As a game artist myslef it would have been nice to see a little more effort put into the background tilesets. I should also mention that the game is very forgiving, you can take quite a few hits. So as a total package it rounds out nicely for its target audience.

This game is a bit of a laugh actually and I enjoyed playing it but I don't think that the little 'boy' bear had the front cover in mind when he said he was off into the forrest to look for 'some honey'.
