Amazon.com Review

The slogan on the box says, "Powerpuff Girls are saving the world before bedtime." Bad Mojo Jojo's repetitive gameplay, however, will put some gamers to sleep well before that time.

Based on the Cartoon Network series, this title spotlights Blossom, the pink-clad leader of the Powerpuff Girls. The dilemma facing the girls at the start of the game is that Mojo Jojo has kidnapped the girls' mentor, Professor Utonium. Blossom must battle Bratty Little Princess, Roach Coach, and eventually Mojo Jojo himself (hence the game's name) to save the brave professor.

The idea behind the game is to run or fly around the professor's home and lab, collecting all the goodies that the various robbers dropped in their hasty ransacking of the place. The items consist of treasure, special graphic cards of Blossom & Co., and health power-ups.

Some simple puzzle solving is required to finish this game, but that really takes second fiddle to honing one's exploration skills and reaction timing. Even without reading the manual--and who does nowadays?--most will quickly figure out where they're going and what they've got to do.

If this series has a singular hook, it is that all three of the girls' games can be linked though the GBC's vastly underutilized infrared port. Whatever is collected in one cartridge can be sent over to another. In this way, players who work together can more quickly gather all the cool collectibles in the game and get further ahead in less time. It's too bad the makers didn't spend a little more time putting a game together that was stylish to look at and engaging to play. --Todd Mowatt

Pros:

• Some cool tech and marketing features

Cons:

• Repetitive gameplay
• Small, simple character design poorly conveys the cartoon's unique aesthetic

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitly one of the greatest video game ever, November 23, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Powerpuff Girls 1: Bad Mojo Jojo (Game Cartridge)

In the gameboy color video game The Power Puff Girls: Bad Mojo jojo you get to play as the leader of the Power Puff Girls Blossom and you fight evil villains from the show like the roach coach and of course the villainouse Mojo jojo. This has got to be one of the greatest video games ever. You have to play it and once you do you will fall in love with the game because you can't stop playing. Its packed full of fun action packed side scrolling levels. So if you like a fun game good, if you are a Power Puff Girls fan thats even better. Even if you hate the Power Puff Girls you are going to love this game.

This review is from: Powerpuff Girls 1: Bad Mojo Jojo (Game Cartridge)

This Powerpuff Girls game is not like the episodes.All you do is go around collecting girly stuff and the same thing.And you get lost in the Bonsai Garden level.And the people and the villains are so easy to beat all it takes is ten hits out of all the villians and 2 hits out the same ones you fight in every level.When i first heard of this game I thought it was going to be fun.But no this game is not very fun.And all three of the games on Gameboy color are all the same and the same levels in each one just different orders.I think this game is not very fun

This game is neat (especially for me, because i'm a blossom fan) for die-hard fans, although the graphics could be worked on, the ability to change into other powerpuff girls, rowdyruff boys, and the mayor is neat (personally I like to fly around as the mayor), but if you like games with terribly great graphics then don't get it :)
