Michael Futter writes: There are two types of games built around nostalgia. On one hand you have games like Transformers: War for Cybertron or Space Invaders Infinity Gene. Those games are crafted lovingly with near-religious reverence for the source material. On the other hand, you have games like Burgertime World Tour that take the most basic concepts of old games and staple on mechanics that wouldn’t have been acceptable two generations ago.

I think that's one of the problems of it. It pretty much just sold a few thousand copies.
We take a look at this remake of an arcade classic? Does it stack up?
GIZORAMA - So, when the original BurgerTime came out for arcades in 1982, unfortunately, I was not alive. In fact, I pretty much missed out on the entire “arcade gaming” generation. By the time I started playing video games in the 90s, arcades were all but eradicated in my hometown and consoles were what you had to have access to if you wanted to play video games. It goes without saying, that I never got a chance to play the original BurgerTime. So, I felt it necessary to go back and play the original before I sat down to play BurgerTime: World Tour. Regrettably, the next generation “remake” of BurgerTime fell short of doing the series justice.
This is a fun game. It's not a revamp at all. It's a different game, added with more platforming elements and multiplayer. Nice they added avatar support too.
