ATemporaryDistraction.com: "Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL should be a no-brainer success: Take a roster of popular characters from a host of Cartoon Network shows and drop them into a Super Smash Brothers clone where you can beat up The Powerpuff Girls with Johnny Bravo or take on Samurai Jack with Dexter from Dexter’s Lab, and so on. “Who could beat who in a fight?” debates are a staple of playground discussion, so it’s an easy sell for kids, and the quality of writing and cross-generational humour in most classic CN shows means that there’s plenty of appeal for beat-’em-up-loving adults, too. Sadly, Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL squanders that immense potential pretty quickly, resulting in a merely serviceable brawler that won’t appeal to those over the age of 11."
Sometimes the bargain bin is too lenient a punishment for achingly bad PlayStation games. Here’s the latest batch of gutter gaming, fit only for coaster duty, target practice or just plain throwing out of a car window at high speed, then reversing back over it.
I'm sure these games are aimed at little kids that still haven't begun to hate everything they look at yet,unlike OPM UK that hates everthing that isn't exclusive to PS3.
To be fair just because these games are aimed at kids doesn't mean they have to suck (which they do) I mean look at games like Ratchet & Clank,LittleBigPlanet and Mario.
All amazing games that aren't cheap cash ins and also appeal to adult gamers.
"Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL was released for the Wii on November 8, 2011, I believe with a MSRP of $29.99. It was also released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 the same day, both with a MSRP of $39.99. The game was developed by Papaya Studio and published by Crave Entertainment for its U.S. release, and it received an ESRB rating of "Everyone 10+" with "Animated Blood, Cartoon Violence, Crude Humor, Tobacco Reference" listed as content for gamers and parents to be aware of.
How many hours have U.S. Wii owners averaged brawling with cartoon characters in Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL since the game released? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
Johnny Bravo? Seriously this guy hasn't been relevant to CN for damn near a decade now.
Celebrating the successful launch of their home console beat-‘em-up title, Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL, O-Games has revealed a brand new trailer for the videogame. Featuring Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo and Ben 10 in action, amongst many other classic Cartoon Network characters, the brand new trailer is available right here at Electronic Theatre.
Samurai Jack would be overpowered, simply being too awesome for the other characters.
He's not actually too bad. The whole thing is pretty well balanced, but there are too many of the Jigglypuff style characters that take a long time to learn.
Wheres the all the SSBM clone hate that the ps game is getting.
Powersuit Dexter would kick everyones ass.
I think the difference is that All-Stars refuses to admit it's a SSBM clone, whereas Punch Time out rightly says it - even on it's own website!
