Stupid "Studios", Has No "Universal" Appeal

For the, hyperactive jackass, family member comes this overly obvious advertisement for "Universal Studios". The game seems to be made by the politcally correct manufacturing department at both Nintendo and "Universal", and it sucks, big time! The game's lesson is to teach young visitors of the park to put trash in its place and keep the park clean. Whats next "Universal"? A game that teaches park visitors when they sprinkle when they tinkle, to please neat and wipe the seat?! Or how about a game where players must wash there hands before returning to work!

As a young tourist, the player must hookup with Woody Woodpecker and after listening to his idiotic directions, must go thru the park, picking up trash to gain points, then trying to get into all the main attractions (mini-games) before the park closes.

First off, since when is picking up trash fun?!? And on vacation no less!! The other people, that walk thru the park, are useless, giving no clues or hints at all. The mini-games suck... every... single... one of them. I have never seen a decent game released from any "Universal" film, that includes "Back to the Future", "Jaws", "E.T.", and "The Mummy". The graphics are in the Japanimation style - I thought I was going to vomit dayglow colors after an hour of gameplay (the colors are so distracting, my eyes hurt after awhile). This game is pure crap & totally assinine. If Universal" is proud of this game, then they should really be ashamed of themselves. An absolute waste of one's time.

Rent this game, IF YOU WANT TO BE BORED, DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!

This is one of the worst and most boring games I have ever played in my life... It (disappoints) so much, it has boring trivia, which has such horrible questions, it has minigames which use a or b button, and are SO basic and stupid... This is by far the worst GameCube game EVER I hope... I bought it, and then returned it 1 day later because it was so bad... PLEASE LISTEN TO MY ADVICE!!!

Did I miss something?

Well maybe I'm just too old for this one, but I went in expecting it to be more of a kids game. Nevertheless, this was without question the worst game I've ever played on any system. The game interface was incredibly poorly constructed, moving from one screen to the next made no sense as your perspective changes more or less randomly every time you move to a new area, and your viewpoint is set arbitrarily by the game. I find it astonishing that with all of the 3d graphics power of the system this game won't even let you change your viewpoint. There are no markings for where you can and can't go, so you spend a great deal of time just walking into dead ends to make sure there isn't something there. The games themselves are dull and unimaginative, most requre no real input from the user anyway and almost play themselves. Many of the games I tried to play turned me away with a message that there were too many people on the ride already? Maybe that is an accurate reflection of what Universial Studios is really like, but its infuriating in a video game. And while you can assume from the name that its a promotion for Universal Studios, the level of advertising got very annoying very quickly. Every person in the game that you talk to gushes about how wonderful Universal Studios is, and after about the 10th in-game ad for their park I just stopped talking to the other people. Don't waste your money on this one.

0 stars not an option, so it gets 1

THIS GAME IS VERY VERY BAD! Anyone who gives it more than 1 star should not bother reviewing anymore games! This is by far the worst game I have EVER played in my entire life, and I have played A LOT OF GAMES! Worse than ANYTHING, honestly! There is NO FUN WHAT SO EVER TO THIS GAME! You walk around the park, pick up garbage, and that is about it. It has trivia, which have the some of the most impossible questions ever, from the most RANDOM movies(probably 6 movies total), so if you have no life you can watch the 6 movies 50 times, to beat the trivia(BORING!..) It has mini games for each ride, which have the gameplay of an original nintendo game, and the graphics are worth 8 bit.

STAY AWAY - KEEP YOUR MONEY - STAY AWAY

If you are ready to buy an AWFUL game and a game that must not be sold at any store and a game that would make you angry of buying it well you came to the right game, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. If I was asked to describe one word about this game it would definatley be RUBISH. The graphics are horrible the characters are nasty and the game does not match the description and the picture on the cover. At first I thought that playing this game would be like playing any other theme park games like Theme Park or RollerCoaster Tycoon but as soon as I switched on my gamecube and played for about 2 minutes I regreted what I did with my money, I regreted paying money for picking up garbage and playing stupid minigames where you do not know what is going on. So be careful, do not be fooled by the cover, and STAY AWAY like I always have said....

The cover is the best thing about the game!

The cover of this game makes it look like an exciting adventure park;however, there is nothing exciting about it. The action is extremely slow. One of the "exciting" things they have planned for you is picking up trash. You have to run all over the same places over and over again and find that you can't get into the parks for a good portion of the game. Once in, there are only 5 areas you gain access to and the "ride" is extremely dull. This was a big waste of money - I don't think it would even be entertaining for a 3 year old much less a teen or adult.

I remember I got this on my birthday. I looked down on gift, self-conscious of my disappointment. So of course I had to play it. In this game, you control a deformed child in Universal Studios. Mysteriously, the park only contains white tourists, which leads me to believe there's a secret underground klan faction somewhere in Universal Studios. (There's some strange fruit growing near the Jaws lake...) Hours of picking up trash and tedious mapping ensue, and you're occasionally treated to a rejected Chuck E. Cheese minigame, only with less smeared pizza and more crappy video game. Sometimes you'll encounter Woody Woodpecker, who apparently vacantly walks around in several park locations at once. He innocently chirps, "I'll peck out your SOUL," as he backhands you for your precious tickets, no doubt to buy illegitimate substances to sell to Cracky Cracksniffer.

[...]

Not too good.

Invisible walls, that's all there is to say. Invisible walls block you from anywhere and everywhere you want to. The Backdraft game is annoying because the controls change every time the camera changes. Jurrassic Park's dinosaurs look [terrible] and the BTTF game is just plain boring. If they remade this game for older people it could be a lot of fun, but since it's for kids, it [stunk].
