Innocent, rather easy platformer, very charming though!
The Smurfs is a very simple and yet very
colorful and charming platformer sidescroller game. It oozes that
sweetness that the Smurfs universe has always been known for, and the
game is without a doubt an ode to childhood and to children. Not that
adults would not love it just as much, but I'm pretty sure that they
will feel very underwhelmed by the challenges that this game puts forth.
However, when you realize that this game is intended to teach children
the beauty of platforming games, and, maybe in the process, make them
learn a few things, you'll get where this game comes from. What I love
about it is the very high quality and dedication put into the small
things. This game almost looks hand drawn, so that's one thing it has
for itself. I mean, just take a look at a screenshot, and look at those
big, sweet fungus houses, they're sure to put you in quite a god mood.
So, yeah, as a game for children, a platformer this sure can do the
trick, especially now, that these new movies with Smurfs have surfaced,
this could be a great game to give your kids a bit of a retro education!
And, if not, Lion King can be a more diverse and more challenging sidescroller platformer, though one just as charming!
Advisable for both children and adults
The Smurfs is a 1994 2D platform game
developed and released by Infogrames. You embark in an adventure that
takes place in a forest, and you play as the jockey smurf, the brainy
smurf, the greedy smurf and the hefty smurf. Throughout the exploration, you will maintain your life and energy with the useful bonus items you will collect.
Beside collecting various objects, you have to avoid the obstacles and
dangers that you will encounter in your way through the Smurf Village.
Some of the animals like birds, bunnies, and other "cute" enemies will
try to stop your progress and that is why you have to take them down.
The characters look exactly like the ones in the animated program, and
the graphics are cartoonish, enjoyable to watch, very
detailed and realistic. The music fits perfectly with the game's general
ambiance and it will make the time spent even more delightful. The
controls are a bit slow, (you will likely press a button twice to
activate a move), but the gameplay is solid, and that is why you should
try its splendor. This attractive game is for all children that are fans
of this animated television program, and not only for them, because
even the adults will be pleased to take out their inner kid spirit to
play it!
