Pocket Gamer: Another week, another game with "crazy" in the title on Nintendo's eShop. Like last week's title, Crazy Hunter, Crazy Kangaroo doesn't make a lick of sense, but happily it's a lot more fun to play.
That said, you'll have seen most of what this marsupial has to offer. Crazy Kangaroo is entirely adequate, but it never approaches game design excellence.
"As you may recall, several of the many Looney Tunes shorts base a running gag off Sylvester and his son contending with an overbearing mouse -- at least, that's what they mistakenly refer to it as. In a misguided display of strength, Sylvester is often shown trying to put his foot down on the disturbance; hard to do when both his feet just so happen to be smaller and weaker than those of the creature he has beef with. Predictably, his foolish ends result in embarrassment, much to the shame of his son, who hoped his father would prevail. In some ways, the performance of Crazy Kangaroo is similar in consequence to the situation just described." -- Wiiloveit.com
Brash Games writes"In the world of Australian marketing there are animals that lend themselves better to games than others. Paranoid Possum, Kleptomaniac Koala and Super Sloth are perhaps three games that will never be made, but when it comes to almost alliterative Antipodean mammals, then it’s all about Crazy Kangaroo".
"Hop till you drop.
Crazy Kangaroo is a port of an iPhone game, and as of my writing this review that version of the game is available for free on the App Store. As far as I can tell, the only differences are the addition of stereoscopic 3D and the 3DS version’s option of physical controls. Those features, however, make this version worth a look." writes NintendoWorldReport.
