An overlooked game though it's fantastic

Blender Bros is an awkward title for a truly excellent game. Combining platform action with elements of collecting and several mini games, Blender Bros. is one of the better platform games to emmerge in quite some time. The character you control resembles an alien dog so to speak. As you go through levels where even your ears are a helpful tool, you'll come across things called mini-bros. When equipped, these mini-bros. provide you with extra abilities. The fun comes in trying to find and collect all of them. With excellent graphics, a surprisingly good soundtrack, perfect play control, and a well thought out game design, Blender Bros. could be the most over looked title of the year. Ironically it should deserve a more prestigious award for its innovation, and all out fun.

Pretty decent

The graphics for this game is stellar. The music is okay, and the game is a little too short. The game is fun, but it is also too easy. I started playing it and couldn't put it down until I beat the game about 4 hours later. Pretty good buy for a bargain price.

It's no Super Mario Bros., but...

Well, let's see now. An overlooked platformer (most of the time), Blender Bros looks and feels similar to every other platformer, but it actually DOES give some new ideas.

Graphics - 8/10
The graphics in Blender Bros aren't amazing, especially during the "racing" levels. However, during regular platforming action, the flawless moves that Cosmo makes (along with the enemies) are excellent. All of your little Mini Bros. Helpers move fluidly along with you, following you. Unlike some platformers, you don't meet the exact same enemies every level (they all look different, by the way). All Mini Brothers look different, use different powers, and among other things, actually LOOK as if they're able to do what they can do.

Music and Sound - 7.5/10
...The music is hummable, and somewhat catchy. However, I can barely hear the sounds of the moves, attacks, etc. Infogrames really could have done at least a LITTLE better job on this one, considering their work on games such as Dragon Ball Z - Budoukai, etc. Of course, the sounds and music are on the GBA - earning an extra half point on Blender Bros.' score.

Game play - 7.5/10
Bah. This plays as any other platformer, with the exception of a few adjustments (your little Mini Bros buddies). These Mini Brothers follow you and do various things, such as fending off enemies and healing you - if you can find them. The enemies are easily defeated, the levels are simple as well (maybe excepting a few original levels). Even the bosses are painless and predictable!
Even though Blender Brothers might integrate the Pokemon-style "catch the Mini Brothers so they can help you" theme, this game should be easy and simple for anyone - and maybe just a tad of enjoyment for those veteran gamers.

Replay value - 5/10
There is really no point in playing Blender Bros again. Maybe if someone wanted to obtain all of the Mini Bros (little helpers that follow you and help you with various powers), they would play it again. Otherwise (as stated before), there is no point in playing the entire game all over again.

Overall - 7/10
Okay, so Blender Brothers is no Super Mario Brothers or Klonoa, but the platformer does its job well enough. To tell the truth, when I first started this game, I liked it a whole lot. However, the glamour wore off after a very short while.

Yes, well, my time playing Blender Bros. MIGHT have been better used playing something else. However, if you really love platformers (which I don't. my opinion on this doesn't matter much.), you should give this one a chance (or two).
