My Friend Peppa Pig is not a game for the masses. Instead, it carefully caters its gameplay, visuals, story and controls to those they know will play it most. However, without my assistance and some online help, Potato City would have only ever been a dream for my daughter, and I imagine many other children around her age. And in all honesty, it isn’t worth the trouble! Aside from this gripe, it is an impressive looking game with easy controls that puts the individual in their own episode with one of their most beloved characters, Peppa Pig.
You feel the Ray Tracing when Peppa goes to the lake, you see the lake reflections in the pig’s face. However if you want to put all in ULTRA you need to run the game in two ps5 in parallel to feel the power of unreal engine 5 in your eyes. Epic games were told to make an engine for this game, and they made unreal 5 only because of this, and then they started migrating secondary games like Fortnite, or the Witcher”.
The story, written by George RR Martin, tells you the tale of a pig and its family. Peter Jackson is currently leading the movie direction, with Orlando Bloom as the pig and Hans Zimmer as the soundtrack director.
8k is optional in video settings, but it’s desirable to put on since you basically wet your pants while seeing all the details of the astonishing environment of the game.
Only one game beats this one, and that one is Cory’s in the house
My friend Peppa Pig is an excellent chance for the very young kids to enjoy the world of their favorite show, but after the initial excitement, the troubled, lazy and absurd design leads to a repeatable and a little annoying game, even for that age.
There’s no question that effort has gone into making it though, and that kids of an appropriate age will enjoy it – but that enjoyment is only likely to last a few sessions at most. At that point you will have spent £35 on something that isn’t really that much more interactive, and certainly has less educational value, than a free mobile or browser game.
The game starts with voices and video not matching which is always a good OG sign. Further in the game you can really see how unpolished this game is. There hasn't been any big bugs yet, but I can honestly say that anything over 10€ is pretty much a rip-off for this game.
My daughter kinda likes some things, but you can't really leave a small kid to play alone and this is really cumbersome for adults.
+ for dubs.
It has arrived. After changing the formula with Sonic Heroes and getting mixed responses, the Team have gone back to basics and stuck with what works. The result is a mixture of Sonic Adventure’s town stages and level structure and Sonic Adventure 2’s involving plot lines. Now we’ve hit the next generation of consoles, does the tried and tested work in Sonic the Hedgehog?
Well, you would think so, but it’s all a bit of a mixed bag. From the moment you turn on the game you’re introduced to a series of wonderful cutscenes. As ever, the CG team behind these stunning pieces need awards or something. Impressively, sequences using in-game graphics look amazing too. The difference between CG and in-game cutscene is very slight, you really couldn’t tell the difference.
The story is involved and very entertaining, and if you can forgive the plotholes here and there (and the irritating “Lose-Princess-Save-Princess-Lose-Princess” structure of Sonic’s Episode), it can easily rival Sonic Adventure 2 for its mature premise and ultimate foreboding in the Last Episode. Voice acting is your typical Sonic fare – they should probably all button it. Jason doesn’t put a foot wrong as Shadow though, and Mike Pollock does Eggman further justice. Lacey Chabert’s role is really rather token but she makes the most of it.
The levels are varied and have many decent challenges within them.
One thing this game has gotten perfect is the personality and animation of the characters. The graphics are pretty basic for a next generation console, but for a Sonic game they are more than adequate. The one thing the series has lacked until now is a perfect personality representation of the characters. The moment Sonic bounces into view you know our cocky hedgehog is back. Hell, we even like Shadow again now, as his new role is pretty badass. Seeing Omega do hilarious standby animations by rotating and scratching his robotic belly is a joy to behold when passing the time.
While looking superb, the characters control pretty well too. For those new to the game, it can be a bit of an adjustment as even Sonic is considerably slower than in past games. This is not a bad thing; in fact it’s perfect. Unlike Sonic Heroes or Shadow, where moving forward a little bit would result in you speeding off with little traction, the inertia here from walking to running speed suits Sonic just right. Sonic’s attacks have been stripped so that only his bounce attack and homing dash will actually destroy enemies. Just jumping does nothing, which is just a little bit irritating. There will be times when the bounce attack is executed when trying to do a Light Dash, and the Spin Dash can only be used from standstill. Otherwise, Sonic plays pretty well. Just not with as much accessibility as we’d have liked.
Shadow plays much better without guns. He has a homing attack melee move, which can knock down an enemy’s health bar considerably. This is a great move because we really, really hate enemies with health bars in Sonic games. They shouldn’t exist. Far from being cheap, it makes your level flow a bit better. The vehicles work much better too, although you will hate the town missions involving jeeps and motorcycles. It’s not without its moments of tedium but simply put, Shadow the Hedgehog should have played like this.
Silver adds a new dimension to the game that is enjoyable to play.
Silver’s the new kid on the block, and his levels are very enjoyable. You can pick up items and lob them at enemies, use your PK to cross-large areas and hover across gaps. It’s a welcome gameplay addition, and it’s just a shame many of his levels are marred with slowdown. Each character has a special meter for powers – Silver can use his PK energy to lift items, Shadow can use Chaos Boost to perform major attacks, and Sonic can customise his abilities with shoe gems purchased from the shops. Obtaining new abilities via shop is novel, but very simple as you always collect more rings than you need. Aside from Silver, you won’t be using your special abilities most of the time, as Sonic’s gems usually just get in the way and Shadow is more than adequate without Chaos Boost.
Amigo characters are annoying at the worst of times, with jumps not harming enemies, leaving them to defend themselves using crummy close range moves. Knuckles’ attacks you can get the hang of, but it’s no great shakes, while Tails’ item box bomb instead of his tail whip is just plain lazy. The amigos serve to be more frustrating than enjoyable; especially considering Knuckles/Rouge can’t even jump off a climbed wall 90% of the time.
SummaryMy Friend Peppa Pig lets players to create their own character who’ll become part of Peppa’s world. As their own character, children befriend Peppa, and together they visit iconic locations from the TV programme – the beach, the Snowy Mountains and, of course, Peppa’s house.
