McKids is a ripoff of Super Mario Bros.

Not only is it a ripoff, but its a ripoff done by MacDonalds Corporation. I guess we should expect much else from them. Anyway, I have to admit I started working on this post a day early cause I now have class on Thursdays. But when it happened I realize that I didn’t have a screenshot for the title screen, which I’m finding quite important for reviews like this. I ended up playing for at least 15 minutes because despite its serious shortcomings, the game is very playable.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, I need not show you any more evidence than this.

I feel like if Costner in JFK pulled the Magic Bullet out behind the ear of one of his children like a grandpa does. While maybe not quite as surprising, but still….

And McRipoff’s, if you are going to xerox the greatest video game franchise in history, make it so you can jump on the heads of guys to kill them. Next time you want to go yell at someone for taking your parking spot, play this game first, and you may end up breaking his legs for real.

So other than all this, there is something cool about this game. After every level you complete, a guy comes out and highfives you. This is fantastic. I hereby decree that this should take place in every game. Just think after you kill a guy with the golf club in Hitman that some random guy comes out and highfives you. That would make the game 2.5 times more fun to play.

PS. You really gotta feel for Peyton Manning, he was pushed around and got shoved in a locker again. Maybe next year bro.

Double PS. I went to a class for the first time in about 3 years. I forgot they have girls there, it was great.
