It had potential, but just didn't quite reach it.

User Rating: 5 | Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures PS2

I can say without question that "Ed, Edd n Eddy" is one of my absolute favorite cartoons of all time. It's hilarious, it's amazingly written and it has some pretty brilliant and memorable characters. It was one of my favorites as a kid and it's still one of my favorites to this day. So, of course, when I was a child and I heard that one of my favorite cartoons was not only getting a video game but that it would be a 3D platformer (one of my favorite genres of games), I was ecstatic and I had to have it. And for all my excitement, how did I enjoy the game? Well...meh. That's all I can say.

Off the bat, "Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures" captures the feel of the show brilliantly. The characters act as they do in the show, and the game actually has some pretty clever, funny moments. The music is pretty catchy and the gameplay is not half bad. Each character is pretty fun to play and has their own unique moments to shine. On top of that, while it does feel like you're playing through a few episodes of the show, this works in the game's favor, adding to how well it captures the source material. They even managed to almost perfectly emulate how the Eds run, which shows that they clearly watched the show and didn't just look things up on Wikipedia.

Unfortunately, this game has quite a few flaws. The graphics are nothing special (what the hell is up with Eddy's upper lip and Kevin's chin?), the controls are a bit wonky, the game is a bit buggy and glitchy, the adventure as a whole is pretty short, and the structure of the objectives are a bit suspect. Oh, and the voice acting gets pretty annoying at points; as much as I love Ed (he's one of my favorite cartoon characters), hearing him constantly laugh when I'm playing as him does get a bit annoying.

All in all, if you're a huge "Ed, Edd n Eddy" fan, you might find something to enjoy in "Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures," but I would definitely suggest that you don't pay full price for it. It's occasionally fun, but nothing too special.

Final rating: 5 out of 10 "Hmm..."
