Impulse Gamer: Firstly this game is for kids but more importantly it is based on the original comic and cartoon series that has seen the Smurf village vanish. As a results the Smurfs must rebuild their village by not only gathering resources but also creating buildings via some amusing mini-games. Another highlight of the game is when you create your village, it is dictated by the player in terms of some of its placement and appearance which allows you to unleash your own colour palette. Smurfs also has this social media feel to it and the controls work relatively well on the 3DS, especially with the inclusion of the stylus and even the microphone for mini-games.
The Smurfs have been around for over 60 years, 40 of those in the videogame industry. Here's a little gaming history on the blue gnomes.
Those loveable rogues will be getting up to their usual antics on the Nintendo 3DS.
The Smurfs are again back on the scene, and kids everywhere are going Smurf-crazy. And of course, with every kids movie comes the obligatory video game. And with kids of my own, it was always going to be a must have title with the school holidays approaching. So after handing over The Smurfs game to Hooked Gamers’ own Junior Reviewer, Emily she immediately slotted the game into her pink DS. And after some time spent with the game she gives her thoughts on the game featuring the cute blue characters known as Smurfs.
