![]() The best thing that can be said about them is that they are wonderfully faithful references to things we've seen in the Adventure Time cartoon. The inventory screen will quickly be filled (literally filled, most of the time spent in the player's inventory throughout the game is just throwing random crap out so Finn can make room for the better healing items) with items that either restore health, or give Finn a short term buff that do a fair few different things, but none of them add to the gameplay design. There is no strategy required whatsoever. The rock-ish fighting theme grew a little old by the end of my time with the game (and why does it play during the otherwise peaceful cloud world segments?) but besides that, every track had me tapping my foot and enjoying the zones more than I would have otherwise.Įach area has the player mindlessly walk from left to right, mashing the Y button to kill things in his way. Jake Kaufman is one of the greatest in the biz at the moment (his soundtrack for Double Dragon Neon is easily my favorite video game soundtrack of all time) and his personal flair can be found in every track. The soundtrack never misses a beat either. From the grasslands, to Princess Bubblegum's candy kingdom, to the Ice King's lair, all of these places pack a massive visual punch, and the player will be delighted to journey through them and see what new kinds of monsters and dungeons await him. Not only is the style of the environments well designed, but they never cease to amaze you with their creativity throughout the whole adventure. This lends to a wonderful use of the 3D, as when it's turned on, the image pops and immediately becomes a picture book world, where the player is able to easily distinguish between the backdrops and the foreground where Finn does his adventuring. The backdrops are clear, detailed, and sharp. This is a brilliant decision on the part of the cartoon makers, and WayForward has implemented this exact design choice into the game. Gone are the times when they were placated by the stiff animation and fuzzy backdrops of older toons, and those styles are instead replaced with crisp, clean visuals that instantly communicate the ideas at play. The art style is deceptively simple, but that's what people want these days. It seamlessly blends old style, eleven minute shorts with new, fast, modern comedy. ![]() The Adventure Time cartoon is a new modern cartoon classic.

From this, you can immediately tell that WayForward has nailed the transition from cartoon to videogame. Jake responds by telling him about all the tea cups in the basement he should smash, you know, for therapeutic purposes. The game opens with an adorable scene that sets the stage perfectly: a cosmic owl blasts Finn to smithereens, whereupon he wakes up and tries his best to articulate what happened to his shape-shifting dog, Jake.
