Spawn Kill's Elizabeth Burnette writes, "As many gamers might recall a certain bear whose weakness was pic-a-nic baskets, D3 Publisher and Warner Bros. created Yogi Bear for the Nintendo DS and the Wii to go along with the box office release of the 3D live action movie of a childhood classic. But does this game do the “smarter-than-the-average-bear ” icon and his trustworthy friend any justice?"
Guardian: "The latest movie tie-in game aimed at young Wii owners is unsurprisingly being released to coincide with the new CGI film inspired by the classic Hanna-Barbera animation, based on the misadventures of Jellystone's most famous resident."
"Any small amounts of optimism towards the DS version of Yogi Bear: The Video Game can be chucked out the window along with any good memories you have of the spontaneous cartoon character. Far from being a pleasure to play, Yogi Bear: The Video Game is definitely not worth buying, regardless of your age and what your gaming tastes are." -- Wiiloveit.com
CheatCC: "With as forgettable source material as the new Yogi Bear film—which may be the most embarrassing of this type of film since Bill Murray decided to do Garfield (Justin Timberlake following The Social Network up with this is particularly sad)—the quality of any game related to it would obviously be dubious at best. And with so many other kid-friendly games available on the DS, that makes this bear particularly forgettable, even for fans. Pass."
Decent movie game it sounds like. From the sounds of it, not something I'd regret if I bought it for my cousins.
Yeah I would have expected this to suck like most other movie tie-ins.
*Yogi voice* Better than the average movie game, eh boo-boo?
I really actually hate Yogi bear.
That movie -- the fact that it exists makes my brain hurt. I wouldn't really expect less from the game.
