Buzz! Junior Jungle Party Bundle (PS2)

Product Information

The care that went into the audio should carry through at least one Marathon session, even if you don’t feel like touching the game ever again.

The point is that, while most of the minigames fall under some basic format, the scenarios are all so wildly different that you probably won’t mind. Every track is bursting with energy and charm, heightening the excitement and drawing you into the experience. PayPal Credit and PayPal Pay in 3 are trading names of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH. For some reason which I was never able to ascertain four monkeys imaginatively named Orange, Blue, Yellow and Green (surprisingly coloured orange, blue, yellow and green) compete over a series of mini games to collect the most bananas. Overall Junior Jungle Party is a somewhat entertaining party title and should keep your children quiet for a few hours, the lack of depth however will soon become apparent and they’ll be looking for their next quick fix.

Perhaps the single-best aspect of the sound design is Becky Boxer’s work as the game’s announcer, injecting the game with the game with a huge burst of personality. Taking advantage of the buzzer peripheral the challenges mostly moulded around colour co-ordination games or timing based games but over the course of 40 different games there is enough variety to keep things fresh. Later that year, Eidos Interactive released the Buzz Monkey-developed Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 versions of Tomb Raider: Anniversary. Credit subject to status, UK residents only, GAME acts as a broker and offers finance from PayPal Credit. Each peripheral is armed with four large colored buttons and an even larger “buzzer” at the top, so children of a relatively young age should be more than able to participate with no aid.

As she explains the games, awards points, praises the winner and admonishes the losers you get the sense there is something deeper going on. Although it may seem odd for me to serve up such glowing praise for such an assuming title, you must understand that I’m genuinely speaking from the heart. And if you survive all that – not to mention being pelted with coconuts and eaten by lions - then it’s ‘farty’ time as you sit back in the jungle Jacuzzi and celebrate with your friends and the windy gorilla – just watch out for the smelly bubbles!It is a great ambassador for the peripheral it’s trying to sell and the effort and care that has gone into raises it above the standards normally offered by this kind of game. In addition, there is a single-player mode which features customized versions of the multi-player games. The game is played using handheld buzzers, although if you own a multi-tap and four controllers you could probably get the same end product. Jungle Party has received "mixed or average" reviews holding an aggregate score of 70% on Metacritic. I personally don’t find Barker’s work nearly as interesting and fun, but that could just be because I grew up with the U.
