![]() ![]() Moving around the world, doing actions and getting into combat is all very imprecise, but it asks you to use precision in the actions you perform (throwing things, jumping), which is a recipe for a lot of frustration. It looks like this:Īlthough I still play games just as old (and older) than LBA 2, even I don't think the gameplay of this one has aged well. ![]() The visuals are nice and stylized in the isometric indoor environments, and a bit more typically cartoony when you're outdoors. The soundtrack is magnificent and one of my favourites of all time, even though it's too short to avoid repeating itself a lot. I feel like everyone had a great time voicing this game and it really shows in the performances, even if it can't technically be considered good voice work. The dialog isn't great but has its charms, and the voice acting is suitably cheesy and a bit awkward, but cute and enthusiastic. There's something everyone can appreciate here. It's silly, but so heartfelt, oozes personality, and it's not a kids-only game. It's weird and wonderful in a delightfully French way (think Rayman or Beyond Good & Evil). ![]() Soon enough you become a wizard and learn spells, then travel to distant planets.

Twinsen is taking a break from adventuring after defeating the evil Dr. You play as Twinsen, who coincidentally lives on a planet called Twin sun (because it has two suns), populated by anthropomorphic talking rabbits and elephants. You travel back and forth between different islands, each of them fully open world, solving puzzles and collecting new items and abilities. The gameplay consists of navigating full 3D environments outdoors and isometric stages indoors, primarily being an adventure and puzzle game, but has a couple of RPG elements and a good deal of combat (throwing, shooting and melee).

Growing up mostly on PC, I didn't play a lot of the games that kids of the time grew up with, and most of my first games were relatively more "mature" games on my dad's PC. Most people haven't heard of this game from 1997, and though it received good reviews at the time, it seemed to fade into obscurity soon after. ![]()
