  • Summary: Players assume the miniature role of a lost Sour Patch Kid in a stylized human sized world, guiding our hero through the sticky floors of a movie theater, across the counter of a concession stand, and other unique oversized environments. Joining forces with fellow lost Sour Patch Kids, players use a combination of jumps, twists and puzzle-solving to negotiate and overcome larger-than-life obstacles. Along the way, they battle unusual candy enemies, escape from deranged humans, and face off against bizarre creatures including one very angry wad of sticky chewing gum.… Collapse

    All in all, for five dollars, you can easily have a fun time with World Gone Sour. Sure, it is a glorified commercial for Sour Patch Kids, but that doesn't stop it from being rather enjoyable. It's a competent little platformer that you and a friend on the couch can enjoy. The style is great, and the narrator is legitimately funny at times. Give it a shot.

    An extremely competent and oftentimes innovative platformer that has a ton going for it.

    Is World Gone Sour worth the 400 MS point price that Capcom is asking? Yes and no. While the controls, graphics, and sound are all marginal at best there is still something sadistically enjoyable about watching computer animated Sour Patch Kids get dismembered and impaled on various traps.

    The worlds are fun to explore and navigation captures the right balance between challenging and doable. Checkpoints are generous and things you've already killed or collected stay that way so backtracking isn't an issue.

    This is a nice XBLA platform game: it tells a story about a gum candy-man, who is dropped in the trash, and his quest to survive being "sour". The game have god 3D scenarios graphics, but in a classic 2D gameplay, where you progress through the stages (a cinema), and that have elements proportional to your size. It has a funny (actually strange) game narrator, but after sometime, his lines repeat. In the gameplay we have classic elements: jumping, wall jumping, killing enemies by jumping in their head, and collecting of little green gummy, points stars and secret items, but with some other features: you gather other gummy guys, to increase your size, to do other actions. The final score of the level is given by the amount of things you've collected, secret discovered and by sacrificing other gummy in a variety of ways (burned, melted, spiked, etc.). The game have a somewhat simple gameplay, but you can play it in coop in the same console, with nice graphics. It's a god addition for your game library, if you have some extra points to spare - my score: 7,0 / 10,0 .… Expand
