Intro:
If you didn’t know, Mainframe Entertainment teamed
up with Electronic Arts and
the result was a pretty cool game for PlayStation. It was the reason I bought my PlaySation
system in the first place, and I personally think it was worth it.
The game is pre-Season 1. (It has Dot’s Diner opening up and Frisket as a little puppy!) You get to go through levels, mending tears and blowing up viral binomes. Very fun. There are some really nifty scenes that you see when you win and lose on different levels and all the scenes add up to about one half-hour episode.
There are some REALLY funny lines that you hear Bob say throughout the game. My fav? "Holy killer calamari!" Silly, Bob!
Get a game:
This game is VERY hard to get your hands on. My copy is a used copy that I bought for $7 from
a video rental store that shall remain anonymous. It doesn’t have the instruction manual or
anything. *sigh*
Still, there are ways of getting the game. Electronic Arts doesn’t have the game on their site anymore, but you might want to e-mail them and ask about it. Funcoland often has new or used copies of it for dirt cheap. (Go here first!) KB Toys and Toys ‘R’ Us are also places to check. Try E-Bay, also.
I know that many Blockbusters carry copies of the game for rental. The one in my area had two, but one copy “mysteriously dissapeared.” I have no idea how! Ahem. You might ask around and see if someone in your area or on-line is willing to burn you a copy. (Wait, no! That’s not legal. Don’t do it! ~-^)
Cheat Codes:
Okay, okay. I personally don’t
beleive in cheat codes. I like to play a game through, despite the fact that I stink at video games.
(Took me 5 years to beat a game on Gameboy!) The only cheat code I use on this game is the
one that lets you play as Dot, because I don’t really think that’s cheating. Still, I’ll give you the
codes. These are used on the main menu screen. (The one that lets you start a new game or load
a saved one from a memory card.)
Play as Enzo:
Up, left, down, left, down, L1, R1, right, down, right.
Play as Dot:
Left, R1, right, up, down, R2, L1, right, up, down.
(Note: I’ve found that playing as Dot is easiest. She’s much easier to control. Proabably
because guys are so clumsy. :))
Flying:
Left, down, right, left, up, R2, L1, up, left, right.
All weapons:
Up, L1, down, up, left, R1, L2, down, left, right.
Full Glitch energy:
Right, L1, up, right, down, L1, R1, up down left.
There are shark codes, but I’m not giving them to you. I’m against them. They are, however, posted on the internet. I suppose if you ask me nicely, I could e-mail the address to you. :)
Helpful Hints:
Actually, these aren’t very helpful at all. They just make the game easier...more fun.
-Yell as much as you want at the screen. It doesn’t do anything, just makes you feel better.
-Turn the volume way up. Make that system voice loud and clear!
-One Baudway (Level 1), to get the blue key, JUMP OFF THE ORANGE BUILDING!
(Okay, that’s helpful, but it took me weeks to figure that out. Really. But then again,
I’m an idiot.
-Try to get a little kid hooked on this game. I swear, when I was little, I was a whiz at these
games. They’ll blast right through it and give you hints. (Just don’t listen to ‘em when they say:
You need more points! Points!)
-Don’t let this game tiff you off. It will, I guarantee it. Just yell at it more!
(Note: Normally, I’m very helpful. But, I have to say this: I’m not the one to e-mail for help. I’m stupid. I don’t know what I’m dong when I play this game. I just made a page on it. Go figure.)
The Rating:
This game is rated E for Everyone. So, if your parents a strict about games, never fear! I would
like to point out that I think the rating is a bit...wrong. There are some pretty weird scenes that
lets you know that BSnP sure ain’t here. Bob has “dream” about Dot and...yeah. It’s just weird.
