New Franchise Set to Take the Gaming World By Storm

There is a new gaming franchise which is set to take the gaming community by storm. It has been announced that Blast software has signed Mr Bean to their Playstation 2 release line up ... hang on ... Mr Bean what kind of crap game are they going to make out of Mr Bean? Who in their right mind would buy a Mr Bean game thinking that it was going to be a quality gaming experience?

Unfortunately, I have to say that this game is not being made to become a quality game. It is being made to capitalize on a guaranteed number of sales based on the use of Mr Bean's name. They are basically saying, come in spinner we are more than happy to take your money. The press release says, "Bean – The Ultimate Disaster Movie became one of the largest grossing UK movies with box office receipts in excess of US$255 million worldwide and worldwide DVD and Video sales now number more than 16 million units." The problem is that the movies are made by Rowan Atkinson the creative comedic force behind the character. He is the man who makes Mr Bean funny. However, I can imagine that his input to the game will be limited. The game won't be able to capture the spontaneity of the performance which is really what makes it funny.

Besides the Simpson's Hit and Run what other television comedy show/game tie-in has been worth playing. None of them turn out to be any good. Surely the gaming public has learned that these games are just an exercise in making you waste your money. They have said the game will consist of: "Mr.Bean on PlayStation 2 will be made up of 3D levels avoiding tricky traps and problem solving along the way to find his missing Teddy with the help of Bean's girlfriend Irma Gobb."

If you want to waste your money then go out and buy it, otherwise, keep your money and wait for a decent game release.

I don't understand how they can make this game which clearly shows a man who suffers from mental retardation. Back when I was a lad you didn't promote this kind of thing. You didn't talk about it. You put them in a back room and made sure the person never saw the light of day. You kept it a secret. That's the way it should be today.

I won't be playing this game. Firstly, I don't know what a PS2 is and secondly nothing is more funny than Buster Keaton. Every single comedian since then has just been a poor copy.
