Don't Mess Up That Chopper Foxx!
Strike Force Foxx feels as if it was taken straight out of an 80's action film and put on to a game console. The plot is just as cheesy as one might suspect, along with all of the main characters falling into stereotypes, but does the game have enough fresh content to rescue itself?
DHGF: For $1.99, this isn’t a bad game, but I don’t know that I would get this title for anyone over the age of, like, 8. (Which makes sense, as it seems to have been designed for that age group.) There are ten available levels, which is not bad given the price, and it provides enough of a challenge to be entertaining in short bursts. There’s a local multiplayer (local meaning hand the handheld over to someone else) option which might be fun for more well-behaved kids.
"When you're on a deadline or in a rush, the last thing you need is to be searching a cluttered room for something you can't leave home without. It may get your adrenalin up, but there's really nothing fun about being put in that sort of a situation. And yet, publishers and authors (of children's books especially) have been able to turn such circumstances into an engrossing activity. Naturally, this has carried over to videogames as well, and Spot It! Mean Machines is one of the more recent additions to the Hidden Object genre to try and make magic happen through these methods. It may not be unforgettable in what it does or breathe new life into an established model, but just like the entry that came before it, Spot It! Mean Machines is a decent pick for those who enjoy picking out finer details in relatively disorganized spaces." -- Wiiloveit.com
