A word of warning before you play Wreck-It Ralph for the Nintendo Wii: If you haven’t seen the movie
yet, stay away from this game, because the film’s ending will be blown for you
in the opening segment. However, if you have seen the Disney movie, stay even
further away from this videogame version of Wreck-It
Ralph, because it’ll taint your pleasant opinion of the characters forever.
It’s obvious that this was intended to be little more than a quick cash-in,
since the entire game will take you under two hours to finish – and that may be
the only good thing about it.
For the most part, Wreck-it
Ralph can be defined as a platformer, with a little bit of action mixed in
for seemingly no reason. Had we been given a simple clone of some classic game
in the genre, that would have been a much better idea. Going in, I expected
this to be the Wreck-It Ralph game
featured in the movie. Instead what we get to play is strange and lacks any discernible
focus whatsoever.
