Drew Leachman writes: I’ve seen games with product placement. I’ve also seen games that were full-on commercials. There hasn’t ever really been one of the latter that was considered a good game. Then, along comes World Gone Sour, a game based off the candy treat Sour Patch Kids. Yes, this is one of those games. Don’t judge too quickly, though. This game may defy expectations and surprise you.
Advergaming has a horrible--and undeserved--reputation.
GotGame: At first glance, World Gone Sour looks like a game that’s sole purpose is to advertise something to you while you play. Fortunately, not only is that not the case, but Playbrains manages to pump out a rather enjoyable platformer that looks kiddy but somehow ends up being a little on the adult side.
GameDynamo - "All in all, World Gone Sour was actually something of a treat to play. Oh, and there's also co-op – you can play through the game in a semi-competitive fashion with a friend's help."
