Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Adventures of Mr Tickle is a point-and-click adventure and puzzle-solving game for children of 4-8 years, set in the Mr Men village where everything has somehow got completely mixed up, rather as if Mr Muddle had designed it. The trees are orange, the sky green, birds fly backwards, sheep fall asleep in trees, cows toot like car horns and horses quack like ducks.
The game opens with three characters in the square. Miss Somersault has a special spray can which can respray everything the right colour, Mr Noisy hoovers up all the sounds that have become trapped in the wrong animals and then redistributes them, while Miss Busy puts animals, trees and houses back in their correct places.
The three games are designed to teach kids some simple logical thinking about the colours of animals and objects, the sounds they make and their natural place in the village. There are other challenges too--for example, when Mr Noisy tries to help the bird that's sitting on the telephone wire, he's not tall enough and has to go into the phone box and call for help, picking the Mr Man that's going to be able to reach the bird (hint: it's probably not Mr Greedy).
The characterisation is lots of fun, the animation excellent and two levels of difficulty make it suitable for the target age group. It's also set in the same environment as The Adventures of Little Miss Scatterbrain and The Adventures of Mr Greedy and kids who've played one game will be able to navigate round the others more easily. --Rob Beattie

This game is oddly named as Mr Tickle barely features in it! We bought this because my 4 year-old had finished & enjoyed Mr Greedy. This is essentially the same as Mr Greedy - same backgrounds, same locations, same music. My son finished it in less than an hour - I presume an eight year-old would find this insulting.
Some might see this as cynical merchandising by the marketing team. Shame on you!

I've just been forced to play this again because my son found the CD whilst looking for a Simpsons DVD. He doesn't enjoy playing it, but he's three and so as soon as he sees something his over-enthusiastic brain thinks that it's what he's been wanting to do all day rather than just a passing fancy.
The bad points:
1) It barely features Mr Tickle who appears briefly in one or two scenes, and then usually in the background.
2) The voice acting makes me sad. In my childhood, the Mr Men was voiced by Arthur Lowe. This is voiced by a bunch of American voice actors. Cheap American voice actors, by the sound of it.
3) It's buggy. It regularly gets stuck, crashes, or loses sound. This is particularly fun in the middle of the "get the sounds in the right place" game.
4) It's woefully short. There are longer, better animated games available on the CBeebies website.
5) Its overall quality is so low that it hurts the very core of my being.
The good points:
1) It features some of the Mr Men.
