I know I shouldn't make fun of kid's games, but after 42 episodes I can't ignore Crazyland any longer! So this is Crazyland, a wacky (but ironically not crazy) action game that nobody remembers. The reason nobody remembers it is because it's total trash, just like this awful advertisement. This is one of those loony (but again, not crazy) games that figures that if they simply throw everything at you that you'll think that it's lots and lots of fun. But having a weird (but not crazy) mishmash of irrelevant characters and levels isn't fun, it's just annoying ... and definitely not crazy.

But here's what strikes me as odd about this advertisement. In more than one location this commercial states that your task is to "rescue Dewey's girlfriend." Wait ... what?? Rescue Dewey's girlfriend?? From the picture Dewey looks to be about five years old, and let me tell you, that name isn't helping him any. You don't run into too many adult business men named Dewey. I don't care how good or bad the gameplay is, I'm against this game simply because I don't believe little kids should be having sex. Couldn't Dewey at least wait until he hit puberty? Maybe then I'll actually care about his plight.

The other thing that annoys me are the levels. Here's what the advertisement says: "Join Dewey through Carnivals, Safaris and Rollercoasters." Okay, carnivals and safaris I understand, but isn't a rollercoaster just another part of the carnival? I'm surprised they didn't go one step further and talk about the amazing cup ride level or stage where you have to swing a mallet as hard as you can. And don't forget about the amazing merry-go-round and Ferris wheel stages, I'm sure that's the kind of thing that will make you run out to your local game store and buy Crazyland. But don't, you're better off spending your life savings at a real carnival. Or better yet, Carnival in Brazil ... now THAT is what I would call Crazyland.
