Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Sneakers is a fun, comical adventure filled with cartoon combat. Players take on the role of a mouse named Apollo, who must lead his friends through a human-sized town to battle the enemy. Fights are comical battles where you throw wind-up punches and flying kicks while also directing the actions of your troops. Being mouse-sized offers its own unique advantages and obstacles. A rolling apple could be as dangerous as a tumbling boulder while a small hole in a wall serves as an ideal shortcut. Players have to be cunning and quick to defeat the enemy.

This game is lots of fun for young children... an audience not quite targeted by the Xbox in this country. Adult gamers will do better skipping this title, as it's quite repetitive and "boring" from an grown-up's point of view.

Basically you play as Apollo (and his friends) in search of food stolen by a bunch of rats (which, curiously, look for the most part smaller than mice!). You can only follow a set path, and go left or right most of the time. There's no free roam at all. The characters are cute enough, the music Nintendo-like (and excruciating to adults after about 2 minutes), and the gameplay simple.

If you have a 4-6-year-old in your family, he/she will like the cute mice running around solving simple puzzles. Otherwise, you should save yourself thirty dols and buy Mech Assault.

This is a GREAT game for kids and kids only! My 3-year-old son plays this for hours and enjoys it thoroughly, but anyone over 6 has gotten bored with this within 20 minutes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst game ever!, October 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sneakers (Video Game)

The ad says "Fur shading available only on X-box". Many games have fur-shading(Star Fox Adventures for Gamecube for example). This false statement is the first of many. When this game was released in Japan, it was a huge failure...now I know why. Basically, you run around a house searching for rats. When you see one, they just disappear. No fighting...goals would be like spot 20 rats in a level. There are some random battles that serve no point, too. My kids played this for five minutes before getting bored of the game. The game's concept sounds interesting and the mouse does look cute, but trust me this game is the worst X-box game so far. They had to release this at a lower price point just to get people to take notice of it, but be smart and try to stay away from this horrible game.
