5.0 out of 5 stars Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, January 29, 2000

This review is from: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (CD-ROM)

A baby crocodile raised by furry creatures named 'Gobbos'. Sounds silly right? Exactly. Adapted from Playstation version, this games graphics are not the best. In fact, the graphics are 50% of what makes the game so hard. Besides that, this game has a lot of content. With 144 Gobbos to free, 9 bosses to beat, and 45 levels (plus 24 bonus levels), this game isn't as easy as it looks. There are over 35 different species of enemies that you can non-violently "kill" or maybe just make dust colored dust out of them. Croc can walk, run, tailswipe, swim, fly on balloons, jump, double jump, do cartwheels, and more! To get to the last 'secret levels' you have to collect every single gobbo. They sit and wait for you on or in boxes, in cages, on platforms, and even in games. Some games are the switch around boxes game, the box chase game, the pot game, and the button-pushing game. There is a level full of games, and a level full of puzzles. Passwords save your game without using a slot. The games disc is even CD player compatible! You can listen to all 41 backround music songs. A sequel is now out with more complex levels. Over all, I give this game a big thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very cute game named: Croc:Legend of the Gobbos, June 21, 2000

Well, I thought this game was extremely fun and non-violent. There is a cute little crocodile named croc who runs around squishing enemies and freeing his friends, the gobbos. Although people say the graphics are bad, they are actually quite good, it all depends on the computer. On my computer from 95, the graphics were indeed pretty bad. However, when I tried it on my new Gateway computer, the speed and graphics were excellent! Furthermore, the game is quite challenging. For example, in each level Croc is supposed to rescue 6 gobbos. In order to get the 6th gobbo, croc needs to get 5 diamonds to let him pass through a door which leads to a room where the last gobbo is hidden. There are 37 levels in this game. However, if Croc does not get all the gobbos and the jigsaw pieces resulting after beating the boss, you only get 32 levels. Collecting the 8 jigsaw pieces opens up a secret archipelago= 5 extra levels.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (CD-ROM)

I first played this game when I was just a kid. Ever since that day, i've been hooked. What could possibly be cuter than a little green crocodile, that wears a backpack and squeaks. Possibly an exception for the Gobbos.

Otherwise I would have to say, nothing. There is nothing cuter than Croc. Although it is a relatively moderate game in strategy and gameplay, all you diehard, gun-loving gamers out there will probally not apreciate the full value of this game. But for others that enjoy good, innocent fun, that comes in the shape of a crocodile, this game is definately for you.

The graphics are old, but it being a cartooned game rather like Monkey Island, it doesn't really effect or bother you. Instead it enhances the overall charm and granduar of this fable.

Definately five stars. More if the rating would allow it. But as it doesn't, I must content myself with a paltry five.
