A detective shoot-‘em-up in the animation style of a 1930s noir cartoon? That would be the new video game MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, which our very own Bob Hoose reviewed just last week. Here’s some of what he had to say:
“This action/adventure title takes its inspiration from classic animations of the 1930s—featuring hand-drawn, ‘rubber hose’ artwork and a fully voiced, noir detective narrative. But as much as this game might remind players of a vintage cartoon, à la Disney’s Steamboat Willie, its splattering, black-and-white action and winking humor isn’t always kid-friendly.”
But do you know what’s better than simply reading our review of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire? Reading the review and then watching its companion video review, so you can hear Bob describe the game’s merits and content foibles in his best hard-boiled detective accent! You can check it out here:
Moving forward, we’ll be putting out more of these quick video reviews every week. We’ll still cover plenty of movies, but we’ll occasionally add in a review for a game or TV show as well. You can watch them all on our YouTube channel (don’t forget to subscribe!) or right here at PluggedIn.com.
Here’s looking at you, friend.
