M&M's Adventure
© 2008 Zoo Games Inc.
Play as one of three M&M characters (Red, Yellow or Green) in this fast-paced platform-style game. Each character has unique abilities, which you exploit to make it through the maze-like M&M's Candy Factory. Your goal is to find missing candy, in order to make it to the delivery truck. As you explore, you discover conveyor belts, jump around packing crates, smash items to win points, and fight with other game characters. There's not much new to this game, but testers enjoyed the ease of use. At the end of each level, you must take on the Bosses that are waiting to keep the candies from leaving. We liked the simple game objective (collecting candy) although testers noted that the enemies don't make a whole lot of sense. How do you defeat them? While each level is fun, it is easy to get stuck-- which can be frustrating. For example, when jumping onto platforms it is hard to judge depth. For $20 this is a consideration; otherwise pass.
