Product Description

Product Description
Grab some sleep before jumping into this action-adventure game--you'll need the rest before setting out on an epic search for the last 40 winks in the world of dreams, which have been nabbed by the evil NiteKap. The search for the guardians of good dreams (and defenders from those bad ol' nightmares) takes players through six massive 3-D worlds, from a pirate's cove to a moon populated by savage dinosaurs, intergalactic aliens, and many other characters direct from the subconscious.

Just like the "real" dream world, players can transform into different characters with special traits. Need stealth? Assume the role of a sneaky ninja warrior. Feeling super? Battle the baddies as a powerful action hero. Successfully negotiating the levels requires skilled jumping, swimming, butt bouncing (better seen than explained), and more. It's not just another action-adventure--it's the game of your dreams!

4.0 out of 5 stars Like Mario 64 or Spyro, just harder to control, February 15, 2000

By A Customer

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

My boyfriend (27) and I are playing this game right now. Graphics are great, gameplay is easy to understand and the storyline is cute. We're enjoying it immensly. My only comment to would-be buyers for small children is that it is a little difficult to control - especially in the swimming levels. For some reason, the controls are reversed when swimming, and it is extremely hard to navigate and pick up objects. This is particularly annoying when being pursued by a large shark. Also, you have to press 2 separate buttons at separate times to butt-bounce (their words, not mine.) This is just unnecessary. Experienced gamers will probably have less trouble with the controls, but younger kids and occasional gamers (like we are) may get a little frustrated. Amazon recommends this for ages 5-20, other recommendations say 7-12. 40 Winks is definitely enjoyable for adults who still enjoy cartoons and child-like fantasy. All in all, it's very much like a Mario 64 or Spyro. The controls are definitely more difficult in 40 Winks than these two top-rated games, but if you like this genre, it's worth getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for kids, June 25, 2001

By	Owlzindabarn (Camarillo, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This game is enjoyable, somewhat along the lines of Spyro the Dragon, or Crash Bandicoot. The storyline is deceptively childlike, masking certain comic mayhem which will amuse adults. You can play as a little girl or boy. I recommend the girl. Her teddy bear "weapon" seems to pack a better wallop than her brother's silly candle!The storyline concerns a grumpy old mad scientist who has destroyed all but forty "winks" in the world--those little pokeman-like critters who bring good dreams to people. Your mission is to free the remaining forty winks, who are kidnapped and caged around the game's 18 clever levels.The gameplay is fairly straightforward, with no "puzzle" rounds to rack your brain over. However, the obvious simplicity of this makes for poor replay--once you've seen it, you've seen it.There are no power-ups per se, but you have ample opportunities to don an assortment of costumes (think Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko), all of which are extremely powerful and fun to use. Reviewer's Hint: If you are looking for pink keys in the Space level, and you should find yourself on a conveyor belt carrying rocks, look up!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun, July 18, 2001

By A Customer

If you like games like Mario or Crash, this game is for you. Lots of fun for adults.

Object of the game: to locate a specific number of "winks" and 4 keys in each world.

Not for young children though. They would get frustrated trying to find the items. The first winks and keys are very easy to find; however, it gets more challenging as you go along. Also as you enter rooms in the higher levels, some of the doors look the same--making it more of a memory type game/logic game.
