"The Worst Game by Midway"

As a true fan of the show, I've seen every episode so far and enjoyed every one. They make me and my friends laugh and has made me laugh for years on. Once I saw the commercial for the game I was struck with awe. "I want that game", that's what I said to myself. I got it on Christmas,played it for an hour, and it was fun even if it had bad graphics, after the game had been beaten, including the bonus levels, "BORING" was what I said to myself.

Gameplay:3
The game is fun to play as you solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and use the Eds' specialties to accomplish tasks. The controls are easy and simple and not complicated like some other games. The problem? Way too easy. The puzzles can be figured out by a seven year old kid. You can easily complete each of the levels in no time flat.

Graphics:2
The game's graphics were supposed to be good for a late 2005 game, but it's graphics were worse than games I've seen on the PS2 made in the year 2002. The eyes of the Ed's would pop out of their heads and their eyes would keep varying size which looked kinda nasty. Even on the FMV sequences, the graphics are bad, even though they took the graphics from the show and put it in the game. I say it's bad because the Ed's and the other characters hardly move and is the same picture, but even when they change the picture they move instantly, showing no mid-movement.

Sound:5
The sound would probably have to be the best aspect of the game. The music matches the mood of their location or is based off of what is happening in the scene. If you've seen many episodes of the show, you would recognize the music immediately from each level. However, the problem is that the sounds made by other characters are extremely repetitive, especially when Eddy laughs way too much on the FMV sequences.

Playtime:2
The game is extremely short, it took me a day to beat the game and I took breaks as I had work to do outside and inside my house. The only reason I gave it a rating of 2 is because they have two bonus levels and you can try to earn every jaw breaker and easter egg in the game, but it still only adds about an hour for the jaw breakers and about 20 minutes for the easter eggs.

Replayability:1
If the game was that short already going through the game once, without knowing exactly what to do, then the second time through the game will be even shorter! This makes the games ridiculously, pitifully short for any game.

I don't recommend this game to anyone, even the fans because this game is just that bad. If you're a SERIOUS fan of the show, then I suggest you rent it as you'll beat it before you have to return the game. Trust me, if you buy the game you will be very disappointed.
