Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?!

Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?! is the first video game based on the radical, Emmy nominated Cartoon Network show about two close friends - Jake, a wise old dog with a big kind heart, and Finn, a silly kid who wants more than anything else to become a great hero. Players will explore the Land of Ooo and set out on heroic quests, as their favorite characters Finn and Jake, in a unique action adventure experience. Adventure Time show creator Pendleton Ward is also heavily involved with the game creation, including the design of a brand new storyline, concept, and quests.
Finn and Jake wake up one morning to find their trash stolen by the Ice King! Jake couldn't care less about half-eaten bananas, crumpled up math notes, and old chicken diapers - but when the Ice King uses these stolen goods to construct a Garbage Princess, our heroes embark on a fantastical adventure and teach him a lesson! Journey through the Land of Ooo in an offbeat adventure and discover perilous dungeons, unimaginable treasures, the true meaning of friendship, and never-ending fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Adventure Time Fans November 21, 2012

By Kole

Platform for Display:Nintendo 3DS|Edition:Standard

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

Adventure Time fans can rest assured that they will enjoy this game. The dialogue is spot-on for every character to the point where I can literally hear the characters talking in my head (though their is occasionally some spoken dialogue which usually amounts to a word or two, don't expect full sentences).

The gameplay is reminiscent of Legend of Zelda II, which I'm sure you know by now. The game is not very challenging if you're used to playing video games. This was probably done so they wouldn't alienate younger gamers (though they sometimes tend to be the best gamers!) The game plays and feels great, though sometimes it is confusing trying to use health items with the touch screen while in the middle of a fight.

Now onto the down sides, sometimes you may get lost on what to do, though eventually you'll figure it out as it's usually not too hard or cryptic (just be sure to pay attention to the dialogue [as you should be, as it's great!]
The other downside which is the worst in my opinion is that the game is very short. Being a avid gamer I was able to beat the game in 4 and a half hours! (There seems to be a new game plus mode but I haven't touched it yet) Also, some characters do not get as much screen time as they should in my opinion (though most of the main characters from the show and a lot of the side characters make their appearances).

In short, if you're an adventure time lover, you'll probably enjoy this game but be sure to be wary of the fact that it is not a difficult game and is very short. Here's hoping that we'll get a sequel and it will be longer!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun platformer marred by short length, repetition, and lack of voice acting November 23, 2012

By Ryan Gadsby

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

Adventure Time 3DS is a pretty good platformer that stays true to the TV show it's based on, but its short length, lack of voice acting, and repetitive design keeps it from being a great experience.

I managed to beat the game in just over four hours, and while the game itself was plenty fun much of those four hours were spent redoing the same levels over and over again. This is a necessary component of the game - as between levels you're exploring an overworld map, and the actual platforming elements take place when you enter locations on that map. The gameplay is actually very similar to Zelda 2 in that regard, except it's much more fun. Instead of having discrete levels, NPCs in various towns ask you to track down items for them - the entire game is basically a series of fetch quests. Going back to the same areas over and over again requires you to replay these levels, which only serves to pad the time on an already extremely short game. Sometimes it's not clear where to go to get the next item - for example, one character asks you to fetch an item in a "forest" northeast of the Candy Kingdom, but the actual location is represented by some dungeon stairs going down. Kids who either can't read or have poor reading skills would be very frustrated by this game, but with a parent nearby this might actually be a worthwhile way to get them to care about reading.

The dialogue is top-notch and reads like a script from the show. The characters all speak as though they were ripped right out of an episode of Adventure Time, and I found myself laughing out loud at some of the exchanges. The problem is that there is no real voice acting - what little VA there is sounds like it was taken from existing recordings, simply various character's grunts, laughs, and catchphrases. Considering how short the game, it's absolutely baffling that they didn't decide to include full voice acting for this game. I'd have increased this review one star for that alone!

Honestly, I don't think I would recommend this game at all if not for the fact that it's a good representation of Adventure Time. I think for diehard fans of the series this is a good way to kill a couple hours, but otherwise the game itself is pretty mediocre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Castlevania for the youngins May 5, 2013

By Bob Tabor

Platform for Display:Nintendo 3DS| Edition:Standard|Amazon Verified Purchase

This game is basically Castlevania for kids, and not in a bad way. This game plays very similarly to the old school side scrollers when you transition between zones in the game. It's about takes about 5-8 hours to beat the game. This game was definitely worth what I paid for it. All of the Adventure Time jokes are still in here and then-some. I am 22 and very thoroughly enjoyed this game.
