Glitch Cat - Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is unfortunately another poor attempt at a movie tie-in game, taking one of the most cloned games available and sticking a new cartoon skin on it. It is unimaginative, poorly designed, and boring, and even the youngest of children will put this game to the side after a number of play sessions. In other words, it’s one of those shameless cash grabs. If you really must play one of these games, stick with the original. It’s better, more challenging, and cheaper.
While the old axiom that motion-picture tie-in videogames are by default poorly executed may no longer ring true for every case, there are plenty of exceptions that sadly remind you why this notion was conceived to begin with. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is one such videogame; a title in which nothing is particularly bad, but the sloppy relation to it’s source material reeks of a videogame built purely with the aim of spinning a quick buck.
Avanquest Software, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Consumer Products, is bringing all the food-filled adventure of this autumn’s sweetest cinema sequel to handheld videogame consoles with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.
It's hard to recommend a game that's little more than an expensive, movie-themed clone of a popular mobile app that costs a fraction of the price. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2's food items are so pixelated in the DS version that they're sometimes almost unrecognizable.
Sheesh 3.5? Lol
