Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion

Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion was almost a direct copy of Super Smash Bros. The game had so many things that SSB had that it was funny. From recovery attacks, to special and basic attacks, to assist trophies, and bubble shields. Even lots of little things. Final smashes and Chowder had the cook ability just like Kirby. In SSB you can throw a Pokeball and have Wobbuffet flail around. Shnitzel from Chowder did the same thing. It’s not bad that it did that. But they did forget a few things. Like when you’re fighting an enemy, it shows your characters damage counter and lives. But it doesn’t show the enemies. Which I don’t know if I’m doing well or not.

The controls were a bit difficult to figure out. But like any game I got used to them. However, there are these extra shooter challenges and it’s difficult because they made it a pain just to aim and shoot. But going back to the standard fighting part. That was very difficult as well. Which is great. A game should make someone rage because of it’s challenging. Even if it is Cartoon Network.

They also forgot a few characters. For a Cartoon Network game, they needed to at least have Johnny Bravo and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Those two were some very successful characters in the Cartoon Network community. Johnny Bravo was at least an assist trophy. But no reference at all to Courage. Or Ed, Edd, & Eddy, and Camp Lazlo. I understand they have so much room but they could of made it.

Also as far as the story goes. It was great. It would of been nice to have the characters say their whole dialogue rather than say a common phrase and make us read. And some characters didn’t have the same voice actors they had in the show which if you are a fan of any of the shows, it sounded off. They got the narrator to say all of his lines.

Conclusion: Overall though, it was loads of fun. I had fun playing it. It’s worth the ten dollars. A nice challenge that’s a nice clash of Cartoon Network characters.
