TGH writes: It seems that, as a rule, games based on animated movie properties are bad. I don’t recall playing very many good ones. There’s plenty of justification to be found in the form of “it’s for kids,” but is that really anything to fall back on? Following in the footsteps of those who’ve been licensed before it, Hop sticks to its license and cashes in on the film release.
NfamousGamers "You can chalk this review to the parent inside me, but I wanted to take a look at the video game Hop: The Movie out for the Nintendo DS. While the movie Hop may have been a financial success thanks in part to it being released weeks before the Easter holiday that it is centered around, it did suffer overwhelming negative critical response. Still, never underestimate the power of the family market. With that being said, I was wondering if the game would feature that same appeal that the movie had on kids. With that, I would have to say that yes and no."

The original Back to the Future game, for example, had Marty throwing bowling balls while avoiding swarms of bees, girls with hula hoops and delivery men with panes of glass. Home Improvement had Tim Allen fighting off dinosaurs while Kevin in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York fought against suitcases and vacuum cleaners".
Are you looking for a game with lots of chicks? Do you like to shoot stuff? Then have I got a game for you! Hop on Nintendo Ds is a movie tie-in game that takes the characters from the new movie and drops them on your Ds. And it all starts with a naughty chick named Carlos…..
LOL. No surprise here.
