The Munchables

So, is The Munchables a good mid-range title? Yeah, it is. No one is going to confuse it for Super Mario Galaxy, but it's still a lot of fun.

Like Klonoa or Zack and Wiki, The Munchables proves that “kid-friendly Wii game” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not worth your time. Fans of Katamari or just off-kilter action games take note: this game is surprisingly awesome.

While The Munchables may not be the most memorable meal on the block, it’s still a sufficient dish that can be enjoyed by kids as well as older gamers with stricter tastes.

Minor graphical issues and an unbalanced gameplay.

Taking a page from the Katamari, The Munchables fills the void of the strange and wonderfully weird.

The Munchables is a nifty little game, but it's all over far too quickly for us to recommend it as a must-have title.

It looks good, and the controls are fine, but it lacks variety and challenge making it a rental at best.

Great game that may show bland level-design from time to time, but pours personality and creativity from many of its concepts. Dumb, delicious fun to this day!

Shame that this game gets so little attention. I'd definitely consider it a hidden gem on the Wii. It's simple fun as you romp through levels eating everything in sight. There's collectibles in the form of acorns that unlock customization items, which are a neat addition, though they can easily be ignored if you aren't interested in the cosmetics. If you are thinking about picking this game up, I'd recommend it. It's not gonna be difficult nor is it gonna have a deep and enriching story, but the simple fun of the game is worth it in my personal opinion.

An honestly adorable game on the Wii that has for the longest time slipped under the radar. Main game play includes roaming 3 part stages eating everything on the screen (and breaking enemies up if they are currently too large) while gradually becoming larger and larger to the point the stages size in comparison becomes humorous. Edible enemies are charmingly designed and variable in the foods and theme of the level they are based on. The soundtrack is also rather unique to the series. While not a triple A title, if you're up for something cute and different, give The Munchables a shot.

I am honestly baffled that this gets nearly no attention. I mean it isn't AMAZING, but it's still a creative and overall enjoyable platformer I would recommend to anyone with a Wii, especially with the low pre-owned price of $5.00

Just dumb fun. There's nothing more to really add just a game that's dumb fun. There's something oddly intriguing about the absurdity of it all.
