The Nightmare World of Dreamworks Games - Caddicarus

hi I'm Campos from starting to go stir-crazy is the world still bricks I need something to do make sure you do a proper warm-up before you start and play the game at a level I don't need a water I'm ready ready give yourself plenty of room to move around because move is my middle name copy tips movers to move the cursor up and down I did it I'm fit how old am i god this is getting personal isn't it well if you must know if you couldn't tell by my getup I am actually 25 years old it's a boy ok I know this isn't why you're here you saw the title of this video and then jumped on to see Will Smith fish and the funny green man opening the door some and that's great if that's all you were here to see II thanks for stopping by but what other jokes can I make about the cultural impact of DreamWorks animated movies what initially began as the edgy anti Disney and Pixar studio made solely to stick its finger up to the iceberg for what is living a DreamWorks Animation have been responsible for some genuinely excellent 2d and 3d films when all they cared about was being better than Michael rat and then Shrek happened I don't think anybody predicted how massive Shrek would become even DreamWorks themselves but as soon as that happened the company eventually lived long enough to become the villain and if you're asking me they ended up worse than the company they were already making fun of countless celebrity voice actors to bump up ticket sales chart-topping pop songs for the soundtrack pop-culture reference is so dated that they brought your granny back to life and murdered her again and of course the inevitable the inescapable video game tie-ins when Shrek 1 came out I was 6 years old so at the height of DreamWorks popularity I was the prime target demographic for all the video games have started flooding in all based on our favorite lovable timeless children's films I played so many of these games back then so I thought it'd be fun to revisit them today but the scary thing is that I don't remember liking any of them I mean give Disney their Jews they at least have plenty of great titles across all consoles that you can imagine especially Mickey Mouse capade and his niece Paul skateboarder Barbra DreamWorks Animation games they were absolutely everywhere in the early to mid 2000 you couldn't escape them they were like a fart in a carwash but barely any of them were any good barely any of them have given me fond memories and today we're gonna find out why that is aside from the obvious reasons okay you know what I'm just gonna get this over with because I haven't been able to stop thinking about that face for three weeks so let's start off with sharp tail for the Xbox ah behind every little fish is a great white lie what you mean like this game being a seven out of ten the disc boots up and we get to see a puss spot with legs putting on a chain and looking at it makes me feel sore and itchy the first screen has this this this and this on it so we're off to a great start I mean at least the main menu screen looks pretty cool it looks all underwater Ian's like a big bug B&B but I also really like the transition screens between all the different levels this looks really cool I just wish I didn't get to see this shark's gums I feel very uncomfortable there is such a thing as too much gum and that is it the first mission of the game is essentially a glorified QuickTime event you see an arrow and move towards it nothing more to it and it really loves to reuse exactly the same line so we dodged the shark for a while unable to decide which fish I'm supposed to be scared of and then we did it I guess that was the end of that turns out we were only dreaming though big shock and so we're treated to a cutscene with plenty of full screen shots of the fish faces which is closer than anyone should ever be so Will Smith fish over here who's not voiced by Will Smith in the game is late on his rent again so unfortunately we're now being repossessed which can only mean one thing another minigame oh I hope he's not a recurring character luckily it is another QuickTime event but it isn't exactly thrilling you spin in circles around your belongings thrown out of the window to catch them while listening to ziggy marly because every little thing it's gotta be alright when you're being evicted I'm not sure what's more sad though the fact that we are now technically homeless or that somebody opened a shop that's very nearly Wang's delicious Oh finally three levels in and we can finally explore the ocean which is exactly what the back of the box told me I could do let's go fishy wish eat okay we can't I can't move what's going on what are you doing this game controls like urinary incontinence it's just constantly freaking out and completely unable to hold itself this is easily the most [ __ ] movement I've ever seen in a game and that's when you aren't getting stuck in every crevice you can find moving is uncontrollable and trying to attack enemies but specific weak points is a pipe dream yeah either doesn't register the attack or you get snagged on some other random speck of algae in the sea to stop you from moving what are the enemies in this game well whatever the game decides is an enemy it seriously the enemies are barely distinguishable from the other innocent civilian fish and when they are a little bit more obvious they appear from off camera all the time ready to make Will Smith fish's face look worse than it already is and don't get me started on how great the sound design is I can't put it into words it's just oh look this guy was a recurring character after all oh joy fine when I find you allowed easier on my ears about cake time so here I am exploring the ocean streets as best as I can for this stage however there are not only multiple paths diversions to flip the x-axis but there are also invisible walls everywhere making it impossible to get a mental map of this giant level in your head even with a map feature which even has bends in it bends in a 2-d game I have no idea which direction I'm supposed to be moving on this thing has anyone got the salt and vinegar I want to put this fish out of its misery also to get your health back you go inside houses and then come out again covered in hearts which means that somebody in that house is going down on this and what is all of this for a mission where I've got to find three copies of the same identical fish that then magically transform into three completely different fish and then have to clean up graffiti around the walls that should already be washed off since we're submerged in the water next level time and we've got a cutscene here explaining that there had been shark sightings near the city and since Will Smith fish is the closest one to talk to he gets asked on TV how he feels about this which logically leads to a dance dance revelution minigame featuring this face laughing at you I mean this is just sad isn't it was it kids game law back in the day for every game to have at least one terrible and delayed rhythm game at least he's happy with the mess he's made after this is another game basically exactly the same as the intro missions but you're going away from the screen instead of towards it and this is followed by the worst stealth mission I have ever played because you can go as fast as you want and alert as many guards as you want as long as you hide immediately afterwards wait for about two seconds and then speed off again right into the front of everyone's vision the entire level lasts for just over 30 seconds are not kidding Shark Tale is a classic example of throwing everything at the wall and nothing sticking it's a kids game so you got to give them the variety or they'll get bored too quickly but I don't care about that I'd rather have one gameplay style done right thanks and all of these issues wouldn't be so bad but this game is so damn ugly ugly ugly ugly even the health bar face picture is ugly how do you even do that at least we're all underwater right now because that means you can't see the tears in my eyes well that was horrible so do you want to know how to ruin somebody's day in two steps it's easy step one give them shrek treasure hunt on ps1 and step two remind them about blue waffle right off the bat I'm not exactly a fan of Fiona's face right here she looks like she just realized who she shares a bed with hey get out of there Tomb Raider Shrek's got some treasure to find now what do we want to pick do we want to select select see on our selection err valid okay so as it turns out the person I Ebay to this game from didn't look after the disk very well I don't know why but because of that all the cutscenes are a little bit terrible it's okay though because we can still get to the menus and judging by this music [Music] it sounds like we're off to strikes funeral maybe the intro cutscene won't be as balked as the other ones though I feel optimistic so what's the story here Princess Fiona arrived oh she did and you know what the funeral procession song at the start menu was fitting because this game is dead on arrival my lord this framerate is this a video game or a book I'm stunned that this looks and runs as poor as it does for a ps1 game released in 2002 but that don't matter because I've got ten blocks of G's to find this then unlocks a room for me to go into in order to play a minigame and the name of this minigame is purgatory because it never actually loaded and this drowning bug in the corner was left to slowly die in its own filth forever right then it's time to give this disc a clean right then let's try again ten cheese's into the mini game room and nope still nothing okay time to give the disc another clean voila we're in and aren't I glad I finally got it working no because this game is my armpit Shrek for the ps1 is a weird platforming party game hybrid wherein the platforming moments you can run and jump no that's their enemy coming your way tough luck sunshine you can't attack back and but then again they can't really hurt you either they just kind of knock you to the floor ah so what's the point of any of these sections I really don't know you collect items to unlock more minigames but since the item collecting part is a smelly pit of nothing where you can't do anything and take so long to collect anything it might as well just be a level select and I'd rather it be a level select because this part of the game is as appealing as soap scum some good gum even if you took this part the game away though it ultimately doesn't matter the minigames you unlock are at best unimaginative and at worst totally wretched from copying simple button presses to moving your cursor over to a ripple in the water to catch fish and reel them in [Music] very slowly nine times oh great the fish got away for no reason at all I suppose that means I should reel the line in at the same speed as I would do if I had the fish on the line because the fish might change his mind it's got back to the hook this is one of the worst games I've ever played and I'm not even exaggerating just to give you an idea how unenjoyable this whole package is you could spend up to 15 minutes wandering aimlessly around this jittery wasteland with no obstacles to avoid looking for random items only to unlock a terrible minigame that lasts all of 20 seconds and then you're back at the slideshow again but at least there's a button you can hold to walk because the whole thing wasn't moving slowly enough for you or you could do exactly the same thing and then be treated to a minigame that lasts yet another 15 minutes not because it's deep or fun but because it just doesn't get to the point oh look shrek has something to tell me what's that oh great are you this framerate is making me ill I can't be the only one getting I ache here can I why did they release this in the state that it's in and why do the lily pads in the war to look like floating kidneys okay I'm just about done now I don't want to do this anymore I want to go outside well the scare is everything is out there right now at least I know I'm 100% safe indoors don't be fooled so keep all of your personal information secure and stop Briggs from taking over your house with expressvpn the sponsors of today's video but what does VPN stand for very prominent nips stop looking at as you no doubt already know the world is staying indoors more than usual due to the world turning into bricks outside which means the online shopping YouTube viewing Netflix binging and online gaming is more active than ever before unfortunately leaving you more exposed to DDoS attacks and hackers I mean at least you're safe from this man in the cafe because all the restaurants expressvpn is a service that encrypts your online data and that hide your IP address to create a hefty barrier between you and the criminals and only takes a single button tap on any device you can think of to activate it and keep you truly anonymous and safe and there's a reason it's called expressvpn because I must express how fast this VPN is there's a reason it's the number one rated VPN by CNET the verge TechRadar and many others it doesn't compromise internet speed sometimes even improving it depending on what country you tell it to connect you to and even let's you unblock region-locked content for streaming services and websites unavailable in your country I used this all the time when I was traveling and going on different public Wi-Fi and even today I still use it while we're all stuck indoors so go to the description below to the link expressvpn dot-com forward slash caddy and find out how to get three months of this service for free they say well what's that noise oh wow look at that be over there wait a second that isn't a bee it's a hand passing me bee movie on the r yes from one meme to another what better way to rinse my brain out than with jumping to console generations from PS 1 to Xbox 360 contains no material likely to offend or harm thanks for the warning B movie I never would have figured so B movie the video game was developed by the developers of Crash Team Racing nitro fueled B NOx and I'm convinced that they were picked for the sake of a pun and nothing else oh and don't worry that is not the only B pun they have I've got some too I hadn't heard about the video game it's both challenging and entertaining well you know what lady you're a lying cow because this is without a doubt one of the easiest games I think I've ever played you get an achievement for getting into a car no not driving the car getting inside the car and you even get an achievement for pressing the left trigger I wish I was making that up you can hijack any car in the whole game actually this is more or less a kid-friendly version of BTA even better there's no consequences for that either you can even steal cars that are already being driven and the be that you take it from just drops whatever he's doing it becomes your chaperone yeah give me the wheel low deep I feel like drinking the party you know what this game reminds me of sometimes banjo kazooie well I mean I'm assuming it's a collectathon at least because to be honest I didn't really play the game it was way more fun to break it into pieces that is of course when the game isn't pestering me every 30 odd seconds yelling at me to go to an objective marker like come on you give me this huge world to explore and won't shut up until I comply I'm afraid I'm gonna have to be a naughty man and disobey you well you should really walk around the bin no hope you stop it no don't invite your friends get your weird cloned granny lovers off of my porch I want to crash my car who's the unlucky insect in the way today then oh yeah it's definitely you get ready to feel my sting up great oh well that was disappointing just gonna drive a little bit further push you into the corner and yeah I think I'll leave you there you know what all the residents of this hive are totally screwed up now that I think about it I mean what in the blazes is going on over here hello are you melting is anybody gonna help him oh oh no worries everyone he buzzed off doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo okay so I hijack this guy's car force into Crazy Taxi me over to my objective and that was a grave error because now he's following me to the ends of the earth and is stuck in the lift with me to continue the story I'm terrified he looks like he's about to unhinge his jaw and swallow me after this I decided to actually try playing the game and once I ignored my surroundings and went from point to point that's what I noticed that this is a job simulator and it is horrific ly dull I get it they want me to fit in with the hive and do my job like a good little subservient worker bee but I one step ahead of you game I don't want to be like every other B so I'm going to go back to my boring house to watch boring TV and look at boring pictures of myself duplicated three times on the same boring table oh look it's another game where I have to move away from attacks as arrows appear on the screen is that feeling deja vu or have I eaten too many olives again at least after this you get to go outside and explore the park with a pollenation gun sucking up all the pollen on the flowers spraying it all over the dying flowers and fighting off dragonflies there's just one problem with this though the game turns into Elvis Presley before he died unable to move properly a ps1 game of Shrek I could at least understand the choppy framerate for I suppose but this are you telling me the xbox360 is struggling to run this frog and children that have been dipped in wax this performance makes this part of the game unplayable especially when the camera has a total mind of its own I'm gonna move on to the next game I think yes I know you want to see more bees I mean who doesn't love a bee but the movie the video game is starting to make me cry like my uncle when they caught moving on to strike again but this time on the Gamecube here is shrek super slam oh no Shrek please don't slam me and my zoo the game begins with donkey trying desperately to get his dragon donkey hybrid offspring to sleep which immediately makes me remember that they somehow did it so I take the game out and throw it in the [ __ ] after that we see Shrek reading some bedtime stories to try getting the kids to sleep and then cut to a story of Puss in Boots going to the bar and asking for some mirror you then discover that this is in the simplest of terms 3d Smash Brothers but instead of cloud bayonetta mario has Solid Snake it's Humpty Dumpty you spend all of the matches mixing light and strong attacks together grabbing and throwing opponents picking up weapons and guarding into dodge roles and for a little difference to Smash Bros you have to land successful hits to build up a smash meter which when full gives you a limited time to activate a unique smash attack for each character for each person you hit you get a point and if you get hit by someone else's smash attack you lose a point yes believe it or not this is actually a mechanic that PS all-stars tried to do but if you ask me it did it worse move aside Kratos gingerbread man has the better game again I mean more dead well instead of collecting smash attack orbs from beat-up players and then losing your own orbs if you get beat up yourself meaning that you could go back and forth for hours before anybody gets a single point this game just lets you focus on landing hits and avoiding hittin a fast-paced race to see how many times you can build up your smash meter and get a point by hitting the opponent it's very simple to the point easy to pick up the chaos that unfolds whenever you smash that the players can be extremely enjoyable there's tons of different challenges to complete to unlock new characters for the multiplayer including Humpty Dumpty with the greatest idle animation of time and since there's no singular plot to go through with one narrative the story mode has some genuinely entertaining scenarios for all the fights just because they make them up as they go along the only problem I have with the story mode is that all the computer players went to McDonald's and got the lobotomy combo meal I played this game for hours when I was 11 on the ps2 and I can totally understand why it's a decent game but yeah the story mode unless you want to play something so easy that it makes you feel like a fetus I wouldn't bother speaking of fetuses over the hedge on the Xbox because that's where I throw the fetuses the game starts with the lowest quality JPEG logo I've ever seen followed by the game saving my save game after this you know what I don't know you get no explanation on what's going on it's been years since I've seen this movie so if I had to guess this is the ending of the movie that we're starting on but Christ on a bike how do you think that idea came up okay so how do we start this game with the end yeah the game just throws you into the middle of a story and doesn't contextualize anything you're breaking into a house for some reason smashing up the garden for some reason and then stealing food for some reason this goes completely wrong and then the game second story begins with you having to go and steal more food for some reason either this game has no plot or kijima wrote it who guys to have him before every animal on earth is capped too late I already capped my dog last night this was another game I remember playing for hours as a kid and after revisiting this classic from my childhood I don't get why not because it's a bad game or anything but because it's so boring what you have here is a basic beat them up with puzzles if your idea of a puzzle is doing a big fart on a rack you get given a dumptruck load of levels here some of them are about 10 minutes some of them are 90 seconds and there are plenty of one-off minigame levels just like in Shark Tale but the big difference here is the main game connecting these moments together this isn't an underwater fit simulator this is a 3d beat em up with extremely light platforming you run painfully slowly you jump you hit things with one button you have a special attack button that you need to build up you can find armor to use and get extra weapons that last not very long and you have no control over the camera meaning that all the stages feel limited and extremely cramped to the point of making you go like it's not awful it works it looks fine it's just so by the numbers it's upset and there's absolutely no flourishes anywhere what's that supposed to be sounds there there's no special transitions between the levels there's no fancy animations on the text and even during the game none of the weapons feel like they have any oomph to them at all look I'm just saying that if I'm playing a skunk with a hammer I want to feel it can you please take a step back I can smell you from here oh just over the edge don't you mean over the hedge in fact what was it that I said earlier [Applause] well no I take that back this game sucks the only thing it has going for it is beating up mammals and often the game doesn't even require you to do that unless the objective tells you to you can ignore everything everywhere and run by to the end of the stage only to be greeted with we're all meeting at the end of the street see you there the greatest lip-synching I think I've ever seen so I'm gonna throw over the hedge over the hedge okay what have I got to look at next hey I'm gone thanks for everything house-sat Matt please take me as far away as possible from over the heads on the DS why not this is hammy goes nuts and exclusive for the Nintendo DS featuring hammies the best game just when you thought it was safe to go back to the burbs he saw you and if that wasn't enough to turn you away then maybe the most horrifying intro cutscene i've ever seen will what's with this hairy meatloaf slowly and creepily nibbling away at this tree I feel like I'm about to be jumped scared there are three save games already on this cartridge and not a single one bothered to play the game past zero per set so now I'm very excited oh and the music on these menus has really kicked up a gear I'm starting to get hyped now [Music] do you want to know how hammy did indeed go nuts well I'll tell you by controlling everyone else other than hammy and doing exactly the same stuff as the Xbox version of the game but without any fighting running three times slower while tapping on random objects with a touchscreen to make the animals vibrate and while this man looks like a shape this game is just insipid there's nothing to it you drag yourself agonizingly slowly around the area like you're pulling a lawn mower backwards you tap on an item to pick it up wait for the game to show you exactly where you need to put the item and that's it this is a puzzle game where the puzzle is already solved and if the game doesn't show you where to go it's ok because that means the item belongs less than a foot away from where it was supposed to be already hammy goes nuts for the D s is just like my pencil there's no point why is he even called hammy goes nuts it's got nothing to do with hammy on his own or his nuts did they just use hammies name and face to sell copies was he the most marketable character do kids really like this face or the inside flesh of a squirrels cheeks I mean fair enough you control him to start with but the story and objectives have nothing to do with him the other characters control exactly the same way he does and by the way the game is about us working together to steal food because we don't have any and yet none of the animals will bother to lift a finger until I give them snacks we don't have any snacks that's why we're here you [ __ ] hey does anybody remember turbo the DreamWorks animated classic turbo well they made a game about it I don't know how to transition to it oh my god Barry Barry and have you been in an accident that wasn't your fault look it's turbo the the snail turbo Squad baby I honestly don't care what any of this stuff does it makes sense that this is a racing game so let's just go straight into a tournament where's my power right so who do I pick here burn turbo whiplash or smooth move I should only are they but are they breach this guy's the one no question about it now for a more important question do I want bad or bad stats with one stat that isn't as bad as the other stats yeah I think I'll go with that what I'm on the start line I'm ready to go and oh my god oh my god oh my I've played some bad cat racing games in my time but I honestly think this one may be the worst I've ever touched do I even need to explain why look at this splat I'd prefer making an icicle out of my own piss and shoving it in my eye one of the most important things you need to nail in any kart racer before anything is how it feels to drive you can't be too realistic like it's a driving simulator but not so wacky that it's uncontrollable so turbo does the next best thing as just takes physics out of the equation completely you hold accelerate to go forward at one speed and then turn to the direction you want in order to change where your forward is going towards that that is really it it is so rigid there's no slipping or sliding no weight I feel like I'm racing with a washing pole the back of the box doesn't lie either instead of selling the game to you it just tells you two things that the game has you can race and you can pick a character yeah but that is all you can do to be fair yeah that is the only two things the game has going for it but if the back of the box doesn't give a [ __ ] then why should I oh by the way favorite characters oh yes from the animated classic that everyone remembers so fondly my favorite characters were roly-poly and eyes on a dick supermarket trolleys move with more grace than these things and I'm not even sure if I'm doing something wrong or if the game is just awful maybe it was me I don't know let's try another race I'll pick turbo this time and I'll take my grip down all the way maybe that's why in the last race I was as stiff as my Nan's arthritis let's see then okay so we're coming up to a ramp and know they can do this it's a kids game about racing snails I've got this better you got garden no I'm done this game is making me way too salty which is a good thing cuz I can use that salt to cover the snails in it in casual but Jesus where do I go from here have I hit the bottom of the barrel is there only gonna get better from here how do i rinse the taste of a bad kart racer out of my mouth why don't you try out another racing game huh you know what that is not actually a bad idea your family hates you no matter how bad another racing game is it will look like a masterpiece compared to turbo being immediately before it I am going to cut you thank you so much titty the teddy what would I do without you why did you give me life I'm in neverending pain please end it so here we go aunts extreme racing for the ps2 don't ask me how he got into extreme racing I think it might have been the crack okay so this is the best idea for a race I've ever heard you take a movie not necessarily made for kids all about communism propaganda individuality the politics of war and exploitation of the working class for the benefit of the self-proclaimed strongest and then turn it into a car race at the table you lose you know as now not the movie the insect don't kids love and they're gonna go crazy for this game get the ants off of the picnic and put them in a racecar and for the cherry on the cake the game was even published by explosive diarrhea now you may think that three pounds isn't that much for a ps2 racing game based on the movie ants but this is actually the most I paid for any of the games in this video so far so my expectations are through the roof just gonna open up the case and oh well that's just lovely whoever owned this before me really likes ants and it's also reassuring to know that we're playing a classic from Lisp games live because our founders drive for excellence okay I know I jest but you know what I actually think this is the best game we have so far I'm stunned or should I say stung as ridiculous as the idea of a kart racer based on the ants movie is which is the same thing as making the prince the beauty of the first-person shooter I'm shocked at how good this game is for a kart racer that was universally hated when it came out I mean sure everything else around the gameplay sucks a little bit like the bland menus barely any voice acting and terrible soundtrack that doesn't fit with anything going on on the screen [Music] [Applause] [Music] gets me in the mood for Woody Allen but the rest of it I really think is well done you've got multiple vehicle types for races allowing you to drive climb board run or fly great controls for all of those types that all feel different from each other you get really great tracks with creative obstacles and plenty of shortcuts you get kickass power-ups like the oh so satisfying boost you get some really damn good graphics for a 2002 ps2 game I mean look at these character models and if you get here the responsive and zippy control style even allows you to correct the spin out this is a good game we have here what's up with you Metacritic you got answered your pad check out the level of detail even all the cars are being powered by slave insects which is very sad actually but also so cool and all the wheels are made from shirt buttons and razor heads there's a gag at the end of every race to showing you what position you came against every other ant in your colony basically if you can get your head around how stupid the idea of a Sylvester Stallone and Christopher Walken kart racing game is I really think you might like this one a three-lap driving race in the rain careful though a country make any jokes about this one it's a solid racing game so I guess I'll save my progress and come back to it some other time and my name is fun tee up next we have Kung Fu Panda on the xbox360 jumping back up a generation but before we get into it I just wanted to quickly show you a free-to-play 3d online turn-based multiplayer battle game that came out at the same time as the movie it was called pose kung-fu challenge and it looks like that feeling you get when you step on Lego and now the 360 version luxo flogs yeah that's right Wow what's right welcome one and all to the world of Kung Fu Panda a magical world full of ugly screen tearing screaming pandas and geese that spin around on invisible record players then they break their necks this game is essentially a hack and slash platformer with light and heavy attacks that you can mix together into combos special moves that require energy to use weapons that do immense damage but break very quickly a guard and a roll so imagine if Bayonetta was made for five-year-olds instead of people with the horn now aside from a terrible first impression and the jack present in some of the graphics knock me down and call me fanny this isn't actually all that bad I mean it's simple it is a kids game after all but I can think of worse ways to ease a kid into the world of Devil May Cry there's even upgrade you can purchase in between the stages with the coins that you find and after one level I decided to invest everything into a fully powered belly flop wanna know why this snaps the game like a twig I'm murdering every small enemy in one single flop but come on it is incredibly satisfying even if you don't want to do that you can always roll into a ball and Bowl everyone over this is pretty sick stuff Vlad do you think that a giant wooden hand endlessly thrusting against a wall would be covered in your rent [Applause] overall Kung Fu Panda I'm pleasantly surprised you're okay you're nothing more than okay but you are okay just like I said to my eldest stepdaughter yesterday I'm shocked you're not a total failure do you want to know how to train your dragon well if you do there's a video game that will teach you twice so why am I playing How to Train Your Dragon 2 and not the first one believe it or not it's because I couldn't actually find the original on any secondhand stores online in time for this video maybe it's a rare game or something I don't know but what I do know is that the first games box art makes it look like toothless is flying through an anus so I'm glad I'm not playing you've got to love the boxer for the sequel though oh dude what should we do for the cover of the second game oh I know make toothless fly in the other direction and that's it so what's going on in this game then little Oh little orbit thank Christ so after a little tutorial with perhaps the most annoying guide I've ever heard no tail steer we don't get to fly through rings oh dear but the question is who do I pick the dragon with a low annoying ringing noise or the dragon with a high annoying ringing noise after the tutorial you'll then left to your own devices to explore the giant island of Berk that's actually what it's called and you know what this feels great to play the graphics aren't exactly handsome but the performance rarely drops and the flying controls make you feel like you are darting around on the back of a real dragon because I know what that's supposed to feel like but once you start following objective markers and getting into the actual game it unfortunately sucks its thumb and dumps out of the entire 45 minutes I've played I had one game of breaking target and one game of grabbing sheep to put them in different sheep houses but the rest of them was nothing but flying through rings slapped races while flying through rings time trials while flying through rings sheep stealing while flying through rings I can see why this game was made by a company called little orbit because when something orbits it flies around an array I am fine with a few ring courses especially for a flying game like this but nearly every single match of anything I played here was just flying through regs I know the back of the box says that it's mainly a racing game so maybe I was expecting too much but if this was a racing game first and foremost they could have at least staved off the repetition by giving me different courses to fly across not flying through rings on the same island over and over again often with other dragons who loved to throw you off your dragon and yes it is very funny so thanks for making me laugh at the floppy teenager falling down a cliff aside from getting bored though do you want to know why I eventually had to stop playing the voice of your main character down oh then to top it off most of the races sound like this How to Train Your Dragon 2 coming to theatres on world birthday oh look it's Shrek from DreamWorks Animation's hit comedy family film franchise called Shrek what do you want or girls have and then we sat down together and play Trek 2 on the Gamecube I was gonna take a look at the Shrek game on the Game Boy Advance but one look at this bloated cucumber was enough to make me change my mind and so we move on to the Gamecube again with Shrek 2 another game I spent hours on as a kid playing co-op with my sister on the original Xbox this is about as standard as you'd expect for a game about a green woman with a dress that you can look up it follows the movie more or less exactly with linking storybook segments and gives you a lot of varied levels where you switch between up to four characters at once with unique abilities and special moves in order to work together solve basic puzzles collect items fight enemies and knock off objectives from a checklist during the level like mugging Robin Hood in the forest great that's all done then so what does this item do this probably makes your team invulnerable for a limited time oh great would have been nice if I had that earlier also these cutscenes or girls eat nature not our phase not very good there once was a motley crew who asked if I would let them flew I'll open the gate for you and your mates if you would bring me a Jew 4000 well I suppose they are both pretty magical oh and another thing the partner AI in Shrek 2 it's as dumb as bricks oh god I didn't say that out loud did I I mean look at this I'm heading off to the top left here the way I'm supposed to go and then all three of the other characters just bugger off and leave me to go the direction that we already came from where are you going one thing I do kind of like though happens at the end of each stage where everyone gets their chance to finish off with a short closing mini game known as every playable character get to go at least once in the game and they're a pre humorous way to end things off unless of course it's the most annoying thing in the world I am NOT a fan of the minigames involving shrek having to pick up and throw things though they reuse this game way more than they have any right to and they are so slow in fact the whole game in general is pretty slow what is it with DreamWorks games in either being so fast I have a seizure or so slow that my arteries clogged and my heart stops I'm starting to get sick of this speed you move as fast as crawling maggots and it makes the simplest and most elementary of jumps feel almost impossible sometimes to conclude though I mean Shrek 2 it's still alright as a movie tie-in game I mean you throw chickens into a pot to boil them alive and pop the eyeballs out slugs to eat them I can't hate a game that does that look it even has that bit in a movie where Puss in Boots tries to do the cute eyes what have we got next then shrek super putt another straight game no no I'm gone and um I'm living in here now yeah yeah t DK t DK t DK stands for tickle David's knickers I mean the game doesn't look too bad so far there's nice F&V at least who signed off on these and why a beautiful princess I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but that doesn't apply if your head is the size of Saturn Shrek just wants to be left alone and the best way to do that is by getting together in a big gang in order to play multiple faecal mini games to win bugs and then trade them with opponents in order to match high numbered bugs together and then do nothing with all of the bugs did that work do you feel alone yet please put your hands together for Shrek now watch shrek super party if you couldn't tell is mario party but with a very important twist that makes it stand out it's bad you move around a board activate minigames and battles and make events happen by landing on certain spaces look out Shrek the only issue with all of this though is okay that's a lie there's thousands of issues but one of the many is that you get a choice to pick a totally different board from everyone else for starters so that feeling of competition is you pass each other and interact on the same board is non-existent like Pinocchio's so it's time for an epic battle oh man I'm so excited donkey rolls a nine but then only moves like one space and then has to give all his bugs away Lord Farquaad is eating his own face there's absolutely no surprise elements because every space and what's on them is shown to you before you make the roll the dragon looks like it was made from cardboard boxes there's no sabotages you can perform or different directions you can travel for strategy when landing on certain places donkey's jaw is dislocated and the entire game ends after an hour of stupid boredom with nothing but epoxy 6 second cutscene Shrek you may have Mario's weight but you'll never have his spirit or his Tash so give it up Oh golly gee drink my wii i got high score what's my name Elmo Shrek after the evil bargain oh no oh oh oh D or D so what do you do when you have too many characters to work with you stick them all in a car racer what else look you get to play as all of your favorite characters like Marty Alex Shrek donkey and cook and you had better make sure to spell cards with a Zed because the youth love bad grammar they're crazy for it so make sure you do that you don't want them to come over to your house spit on your shoes and call you a weiner so I'm picking the only circuit race that's available to me all good there and which character should I be pickup skipper donkey Bob Alex or Shrek who can barely fit in his own car with his knees nobbling out and doesn't even look like he wants to be yet do you want to know what playing DreamWorks superstar cards is like very simple it's Mario Kart but not far the drifting feels terrible like you're spreading butter on a lumpy bit of bread and the turning feels as restrictive as anything I mean I can forgive a lot of unoriginal 'ti in a kart racer but if the core of the game the driving doesn't even feel vaguely fun what's the point in playing am i driving go-karts or cutting paper with blunt scissors this is horrible oh and by the way I just unlocked toothless look at the state of this just look at the state of this why was this put here who greenlit this idea why just toothless look like a long black sausage and why does he sound like that time you heard your neighbors going at it through the wall this here is 150 CC this is the fastest that DreamWorks superstar card will let you go I thought 150 CC stood for your engine power not 150 crappy Krebs ever wanted to play as a giraffe that flies around like a helicopter well if you do maybe Madagascar on the Gamecube is the game for you god damn it I've seen the stupid kid on this stupid moon so many times now bye wonderful welcome to Madagascar the movie of the game a beautiful world where children wear hats bigger than their own bodies living dinosaurs eat policemen and poo in the toilet is green my god what did they eat this game was developed by Toys for Bob and yes boys and girls the same team responsible for the brilliant Spyro reignited trilogy also made Madagascar on the Gamecube and they had a theme song that sounded like a load of puking clowns running after you just like Shrek - Madagascar takes us through a revised retelling of the plot of the movie and the first stage Caesars playing as Marty the zebra exploring the New York City Zoo while collecting coins and power cards the things that you need to unlock new abilities and progress through the game the thing is though you don't actually unlock anything you get it for the single level you're on and every level after that but with no other level whatsoever which murders the replayability if you play any stage of Madagascar you are playing the exact same stage in the exact same way even if you finish the game and go back to level 1 to grab something you might have missed you lose every ability and need to unlock them within the same stage and get the stupid cards all over again even better the way you collect these things is insulting li easy they're basically always in a line next to each other so why bother with this system at all I don't just give me a new powerup for every stage maybe Alex the line will cheer me up a little bit ah look at that we collect more cards unlock a double jump then jump through some hoops oh sorry I mean jump through some hoops and then raw at the top of the podium we'll have a stroke come on something good had better happen soon oh damn you can kick the kids you can pummel the children yeah screw those bratty pricks at the zoo serves you right for smacking that glass with Willy in it but not that didn't self we go to Gloria the hippo and she's talking to some ostriches that want to race her well you know what I think about that please give us a pound we'll have to pull the trigger we start the race off and OH Oh someone somewhere is really happy right now oh man is that is that a balloon I'm gonna go and pop it almost enough until wha oh god if I pop another one does that mean he'll sound like that for the rest of the stage Madagascar is as basic as a platforming collectathon adventure game as you get it's a mid 2000s movie tie-in game for the ps2 era there is nothing special about it you control one character at a time they all have different abilities and control styles and that is all she wrote I'll be repeating myself if I go into any more depth I'd say though it has more effort put into it over something like over the hedge though I mean it looks decent there's loads of minigames you can purchase with the coins that you find in the levels there's cosmetics to earn there's even hidden arcade machines in the city for more games to play there's definitely effort here for a game that nobody would have expected anything out of so kudos to you oh my god that was the best car crash death I've ever seen way the entire game is purely possible nothing else and even though it's fine it leaves no impact on anything unlike Gloria when she sits down looks like you're gonna have to find the key to open this door thanks for letting me know james corden everything that we've seen so far today though child's play piss in the wind nothing that we have seen today compares even slightly to the unending horrors of Shrek 1 for the Xbox what's that the game doesn't work oh that's a shame well to be honest I don't think I really ever wanted to play a game that put extra detail into the pores of Shrek's eyebrows so maybe it's a good thing what was that they remade it for the Gamecube why everything about this box art makes me want to vomit I don't like this man's face I don't like the eggs with mouths I don't like Shrek single pointy twos and I especially don't like the close-up on the back did anybody really need to be so close to Shrek that they could see his greasy sausage fingerprints even the title is revolting Shrek extra large Shrek's extra large Wow oh wow Oh just-just-just wow what a lovely menu aren't you glad they remade the original Xbox exclusive for the Gamecube so that more console owners could see what they were missing out on I guess all we can do here is hit start then hey Siri cut the cord what's my name Foofa oh I am so happy with my career choices right now and those birds being used as selection noises best part of the game but you think I'm joking right here it is take a look for yourself yes this silent void of unhappiness with 1996 PC textures no sound at all and a framerate as smooth as sandpaper is Shrek extra large on the GameCube with the golden Nintendo seal of quality I want to let each move shrek has in this game shine by itself because god damn it nothing else is shining right now the analog stick lets you run and Shrek runs around as gracefully as an angry honey badger the B button makes you kick and someone decided that the sound effect that the kick should play over and over again even if you aren't kicking anything the are trigger lets you do this and that speaks for itself but the best button the game has to work with is the Z button because pressing that makes the camera go eldritch aura have I been blessed with her here he looks like a toddler who stole a camera phone and a knife this is this this is what she sees mm-hmm I swear this is the best bit of the game by far zooming in the camera and locking it in place makes this already hideous game look like a Picasso painting if he sniffed glue before painting it hello hello hello just lock that camera in and press anything I guarantee it will give you more fun than anything else this game has to offer you know I'm not playing this game any further than level one why should i if a video game greets me with earwax burping selection noises and then follows up with Shrek's inside out butthole I'm not gonna humor it and the best thing is that this isn't even the last game we're taking a look at today the next one is it's on the Xbox 360 and it requires a very special peripheral [Music] the Penguins of Madagascar in dr. blowhole returns again with his blowhole this here my Lumpy's and germs is the first Kinect game I've ever played which was not only the best introduction I think I could have ever wished for but also means I'm now opening myself up to every other flawless Kinect adventure at some point in the near future pray for me okay well as far as first impressions go this thing isn't too bad it looks kind of cool at least it works fine on the main dashboard for the Xbox 360 and check this out I'm a videogame now but then I played this game and the fun stopped here is what happened please enjoy hello everybody I am popping my Kinect cherry I don't know what to expect I don't know what's gonna happen the cameras freaked me out a little bit now why don't you tell me your name oh okay we're leaving we're leaving we're leaving for the ice-cream okay right let's go I jumped it did a jump on amazed there's a chameleon right here if there's a chameleon right there it's not very good chameleon is it this is insipid this is so boring I can see why this is a kids game because if anybody over the age of 30 tries to do this they will end up on the floor with major back pain now am i doing yeah perfect [ __ ] I lifted my hands up can't see you doing that oh he's doing a flap happy clap whoa okay we're changing characters now now we're lockwood completely lost tracking it now thinks I'm leaning left and I'm not Oh No why why is that no can we defend over backwards and stick my head through my legs I can do that if you want B to game why why did I get it wrong the last time I thought that's a terrible for a second and I would have agreed with it okay go to the pigeon throw go to the pigeon throw ghost the PJ we're playing a connected game for children and I'm now being asked trivia questions about wildlife this is exactly what I wanted not only did I want to stand from the sofa and not hold a controller but I wanted to go to school very monster oh no little man oh come on I can't get this completely wrong cute because they are cute that is incorrect you're already correct I think even more importantly why does it why does a quiz require bodily movement why do I need to use my feet I've got time I'm already losing my bearings and where I am anyways that's that that picture that sums up everything that sums up my feelings it sums up this game it sums up the Kinect that is this raw and as natural as a reaction as you're going to get because I didn't know they were taking a picture I think we can pretty much end in there that you think top spy follow me on

I wish this guy could go more than 5 seconds without a “gag” or “funny” edit, I was actually curious about the subject but couldn’t watch more than 3 minutes.

I used to enjoy his videos, but at some point I either grew up or his content took a turn for the worst.

His humour is more popular with younger people, but the subject matter of his videos appeal more to older people
