Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Mr Funny Presents Challenge allows 6-10 year olds to compete in their own Mr Men-themed mini-Olympic Games. There are five challenges here-–the 100 metres, long jump, javelin, 400 metre hurdles and hammer throw-–each of which requires good levels of hand-eye coordination, certainly more so than the other titles in this series.
You can compete as one of six Mr Men or Misses(Little Miss Tiny, Mr Slow, Mr Happy, Little Miss Late, Mr Impossible and Little Miss Magic) each of whom has their own particular characteristics that may help you in one event, but impede you elsewhere. For example, it may be an advantage to choose Mr Slow when it comes to the tricky hammer throw, but he won't do you much good in the 400 metres hurdles. Giving each character strengths and weaknesses such as this is a clever way of extending the gameplay of the title, and it means that although even young kids can get started straight away, they'll find it satisfying to keep on playing. Most of the games require you to "run" using two fingers on the left and right cursor keys, and the faster you tap the keys, the quicker your chosen Mr. Man will complete the course. Winning isn't simply a matter of speed however because in, for example, the long jump and javelin, you have to stop before the red line, hit the Space bar to set the elevation of your jump (or throw) and then release it at the right moment in order to achieve the maximum distance. The hammer's even trickier because your character is spinning round and you have to judge the moment to release the hammer (the first few times it's likely to hurtle towards you "breaking" your PC's screen!).
There are two levels of difficulty (easy and hard), which essentially raise the level at which you qualify in a particular event-–for example, on the easy setting, the long jump distance is 10 metres, on the hard setting, it's 18 metres. Like the other games in this series, Mr Funny Presents Challenge is easy to start playing, but hard to stop. --Rob Beattie
