Yes and yes, though I probably won't be able to go back to work on it until next year sometime.

I also think another Foster's game, for a non handheld platform, is in order, and I hope to see one some day!

most definitley. A platformer /or RPG a la Super Mario Sunshine mixed with FF in a fosters universe. Very colorful and trippadelic.

Just in case anyone was dying to know what the gaming media thought of this game, there is a review up on IGN http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/747/747442p1.html

They gave it a 5.5.

This is the reason why the Game Boy Advance Fosters game was terrible: it was NOT developed and published by a Japanese company. My suggestion for a next Foster's Home of Imaginary Friends game should be a RPG developed by a company called Sting Co. Ltd. This is the company that made Treasure Hunter G for the SNES (Japan Only Release), and my favorite, Evolution and Evolution 2, for the Dreamcast, and Evolution Worlds (another favorite) for the Gamecube, and Rivera: The Promised Land for the Game Boy Advance. The publisher would be Capcom USA, Inc. I hate to be rude, but the Japanese make better video games than we do. If the Japanese did the Foster's game for the Game Boy Advance, maybe it wouldn't suck so bad. It seems that every cartoon that is American made, has to have a video game made by an American company, like Electronic Arts and Activision and Take Two Software. I want to know why do they do this.

With all due respect, I can't agree that "all Japanese developers rock and all American developers suck". There have been some phenomenal games made by American-based developers.

The Foster's game being bad has nothing to do with nationality. It's a bad game because it was designed to be a simple cash-in, with absolutely no thought given to quality gameplay. The same goes for nearly every cartoon and kid-friendly property that receives a tie-in game. It's only purpose is to make Cartoon Network further profit from the license.

Yeah so my brother picked that up for me and wanted to know if I wanna keep it cause if not he can get his $10 back. I guess that's a yes? XD

megatron01 · 01-02-2007, 06:05 PM

I know, but I think the main reason why it was bad is because Crave Entertainment whipped out the game too fast . The developers were trying to get everything done quickly, thus resulting on the bugs, such as Mac on top of Mr. Herriman. Japanese developers carefully get the game done as good as possible, without bugs. Remember the old saying, "Slow and steady wins the race." This means that if you get the game done too fast, it would be bad. If the developer learns to take it slow, and easy, the game will be perfect. Yes, its true, American based developers have done a few great games.

Oh, one more thing, can somebody try to convert the font used on the black windows in the game to a True Type font?

Gamefly has it for rent if it hasn't already been mentioned.

Next time I want a game for the consoles where you can play as Bloo, Mac, Wilt, Ed, Coco, & Frankie. The plot may be you have to save the house from a REALLY evil friend. Mini- bosses would be:
Terrence
Duchess
The Space-Nut Boogies
Lil' Lincoln/ Moose
Foul Larry
Evil Guy Goons

You can unlock Cheese,Red,Goo & Jhakie Khones.

What a dream.
