It is fun, but SHORT!,
A Kid's Review
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Fairly Odd Parents: Shadow Showdown (Video Game)
I,m a Fairly Oddparents fan. BUT, I still think this game is short. There are only 6 levels(not including The Final Showdown). And the bosses are way too easy. Like, to defeat the main boss, Shadow, all you have to do is hit him 5 times! It's great for kids 5-10, but if you're 11 or older just rent it for 5 days.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Fairly Odd Parents: Shadow Showdown (Video Game)
I purchased this game for something else to play with my little girl. It is a fun game and she likes it.
I will say this is a kids game as older kids will get bored fast by the ease of play. Even the bosses were not that hard to figure out to beat. When you die, you pick up right where you left off. The programming was not solid on this game. There were bugs such as all off a sudden walking through boxes which you need to jump on to escape a room. A case of a fired banana and the monkey that is supposed to get it gets caught on a corner and keeps running and the banana will not disappear. The graphics for the characters were a rather amateur level. Jorgen Von Strangle was rather low key speaking wise. Missing is the intensity he usually has. They also had him doing weight lifting poses and exercising. It was intended to be funny but the programming had him moving rather fast to the point my girl asked "what is he doing?" However, the game was still fun. Basically the game starts with Timmy wanting to watch Crash Nebula but the TV fails. He tries to make a wish but Wanda and Cosmos powers aren't working? So it's off to Fairy World were you learn somebody has made off with all-powerful Royal Jewel and hamstrung the fairies powers. The one thing to counter it is the all powerful fairyversary muffin. Timmy has the recipe and sets off to get the ingredients. There are six levels where you must acquire 3 special tools to solve the level. These tools come from wishes that you get from capturing wish stars that either run away or are found sleeping. Fairly Disastrous: You are in fairy world where you learn suspect number one is Quince the ex-royal jester. He has caused all sorts of problems by wrecking things and stealing the colors for cards. Your first tool is suit sprayer which you need to activate the cards. Next is the cowboy suit which you use to lure fairy cows to activate rainbow bridges and get them back to the Dairy Fairy. Finally, you need to repair things so you have to get the repairatron to handle this. Finally, you meet Quince. Explore around and make some mental notes as later tools are needed to get rewards you find in the early part of the levels. Collect all the coins you can as you can buy extra tools to increase your powers and the ability to spot special items and money. Also, practice your jump pounding skill. You can take out creatures with this ability. Dads Dream: Timmy's dad starts to watch TV and gets drawn into the show and passes out. Timmy has to enter his dad's dreams and wake him up. You will find a strange world inhabited by suits of clothing, giant frogs, bug zappers and robots. To fight the suits, you need moths. To get moths to follow you you need a light bulb. After you get the first three stars you get Cosmos idea bulb. He doesn't use it much! Frogs and bug zappers will require a little thought to get around them. Later on you can destroy the bulbs for money. You later find big metal doors and robots. What to do? A magnet! Three stars and you get to wish for one. The magnet can be used to open the doors and pull bolts from one robot to shoot others. There are some combo moves with the lightbulb and magnet in this part. You will notice there are sleeping benches which you need to wake to get to higher levels. After three stars you get the Super Irritating Klaxon. Again there are some combo moves needed with the other tools. The final battle involves a giant robot. Take it on the Chin: Off to Chincinati where you find H2Olga has it under water and the Chin is missing. You you will have some jumping to do so the first tool is Pogo stick of Justice. Next you find you have to cover distances so you need to flying tool(I forgot the name) which is a biplane that pops out of Clefts cleft. It only goes for short distances but there are fuel cans for the situations that need more. They are also placed along the way so it begs the question "Why are they even there?" The final tool is the freeze ray which you need to freeze water creatures to jump on them to get across water levels. They shoot at you so you can't use the plane. The final fight involves H2Olga. Get a Clue: Ace Detective is needed to explore the ex-fairy royalty mansion(King Oberon and Queen Titania for those that remember Shakesphere). The first tool is the mansion upsidedown turner which flips the mansion upside down so you can get to levels in the roof and get to coins that are on top of things(Can't Cosmo and Wanda fly him there?). Next you have to scare knights and pass through grills so it's Ghost Boy! In some cases you have to maneuver knights to certain spots and then use a scare power to keep them there. If you have other knights, they will freeze but don't worry, they will move again. The final tool is the special detective goggles which allow you to see a trail of the villains and invisible platforms. The final fight involves a creature. It's easy to guess who it is. Fighting it involves the Goggles and the upsidedown turner. Vicky Strikes Back: It's off to Yugopotamia where you find Vicky has taken over. The powers you need to get are a jumping ability, a jet pack and the ability to turn into a pinball ball. The final fight involves Vicky and Mark Chang. The Great Esc-Ape: It's the world of the ape overlords again. You learn that a new ape king has taken over and locks up anybody that dares challenge him since he is fearful of the prophecy of the pink hatted one that will free the apes. Here you must get the banana shooter, a monkey wrench, and lizard powers. One of the bugs I mentioned is here. It occurred when we fell off a slide. I haven't replicated it so it's probably a positional bug. The final fight involves the apeking. After that you have the ingredients of the muffin and it's off to fight the shadow showdown! You do get to save positions and you have replay ability to get missing coins, video clips and stickers. We have not played the extras yet and have not viewed the making off. I should mention again, this is a young kids game. Older kids will get bored by the ease of the game especially when fighting the level bosses. I have read the game was not received well and I can understand it. The story line is not good and the graphics are rather amateurish. My girl likes it and wants to replay the levels. Even my wife likes it but she is not a game player. So for the current cost($[...] new) is not bad if you want something for a 5-7 year old. If the children are older and or rather advanced, I would rent this first.
