pretty complete cutesy platform action...with eggs. but can billy compete with sonic?.
i got this for christmas expecting a linear by the numbers follow the cut scenes style game, boy was i wrong.
billy hatcher has intuitive and simple controls, but dont underestimate it, this is one bad muther of a game,lol. and it will take a good while for even a seasoned pro like myself to complete in full.
dont let that put you off, the controls make boss victorys that much more rewarding when you succeed.
graphics wise its from sonics creators but its pretty reminiscent of kingdom hearts' graphical stylings and that lends itself to this games charm perfectly and makes for a much more enjoyable experience.
basically as billy hatcher or one of his freinds you have save the land and solve the mystery of the gaint egg. ok i aint gonna question that.
sound wise its quirky beats and blips with enough sonic style themes to keep you entertained without ketting repetitive and annoying.
the eggs themselves hatch to make various creatures which, using there elemental powers can aid you in your quest.
i liked this innovative, slighly pokemon-esque idea as it was making for a little more origional platforming gaming than "generic movie tie-in no:44,763".
overall you can call it childish, but stuff you- i dug it!.
its at least a rental.
