The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy (Wii) Review

By James Hobbs 04.07.2007

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is really, really odd. If this is the kind of cartoon kids are watching these days it's no wonder there's so many asbos flying around. It manages to be simultaneously cute, violent, and surreal all at once, but sadly it struggles to ever really be any good.

The premise of the game is thus

There is a vague reason for all the brawling, however

Thankfully, the massive amount of weapons available goes some way towards combating the limited control system and the tedious pace. There's dozens and dozens of usable items, including brain-sucking guns, giant lasers, a hilarious gun that fires panes of glass at your enemies

Graphically, Grim is acceptable, if not outstanding. The game features a cel-shaded look that, on the whole, performs functionally. There's often quite a lot going on at once, and the game engine doesn't struggle

4/10
Rated 4 out of 10

Subpar

Madcap nonsense that is undeniably entertaining at first, but ultimately far too flawed, short, and ill-conceived to be worth buying. Worth a rent if you can't see anything better on the shelf.
