Dr. Seuss The Cat in the Hat
Features
It’s a rainy day with nothing for Dick and Sally to do. Enter the Cat in the Hat! He is friendly, fearless and fun-loving. But in his desire to help out, he and his friends, Thing One and Thing Two, have made a mess of Dick and Sally’s house. It’s up to you to beat him at his own silly games! Can you make sure the house is all clean before mother gets home?
The first thing I want to mention is that this is a short game. This game can be beaten in 2 hours, maybe even shorter. Essentially it has 14 levels and that includes a few short levels that are boss fights. Essentially, you have to do two things in this game. To complete the level you need to take out a certain number of bad guys and while doing that collect items that are scattered around the board. Mostly, you use your umbrella to float up and around the board, collecting these items. Outside that there are two boss battle and four underwater levels. The game is fairly easy, but still does offer some challenge. The challenge is more about getting timing right to get where you need to go.
Overall, it is a shame the game is so short, and it is a shame that levels do not really progress in difficulty. Still, it was a fun two hours. Actually knowing that the game was short motivated me to do a marathon session and just complete the game in one sitting. Still, the game is essentially the same thing over and over again. It really does not offer anything new as you progress. The short and simple is that it was fun but did not offer variety in play nor does it offer anything that makes you want to play it again after you beat the short story that it offers.
