VeggieTales – LarryBoy and the Bad Apple is a platforming / puzzle adventure game for the Nintendo GBA. Inspired by the upcoming feature length DVD, this game centers on the themes of temptation and moderation. Players take control of LarryBoy, the caped cucumber crusader, and try to stop the evil Bad Apple from tempting several citizens of Bumblyburg. In order to do this, players take on a series of time based platforming missions located in a variety of wild areas around the city, as they try to help LarryBoy track down tempted characters. Once they have found the misguided character, players help LarryBoy free them from the spell of the Bad Apple by lowering their temptation level. Discover 5 zany worlds and a multitude of missions as LarryBoy helps save the citizens of Bumblyburg from temptation and the Bad Apple. Song Bonus Missions provide additional entertainment and play time. Child appropriate fun with 3 difficulty levels to choose from. Combines classic platforming with adventure and puzzle solving for hours of fun and re-playability. Trusty Alfred supplies LarryBoy with amazing superhero Gadgets to earn and use to fight temptation and save the citizens. [Crave]

LarryBoy and the Bad Apple will only take older kids a few hours to complete on easy mode, but it is pure fun from start to finish.

The timer may be problematic for some children, but kids who thrive on competition will have a blast.

Unquestionably an enjoyable game. It isn't without faults and action fans may turn away from the lack of violence, but its child-centric focus makes for great gaming and the subtle humor of the series is captured quite well in gaming form.

LarryBoy and the Bad Apple for the GBA is clever and fun but also far too short, and is best suited for younger/inexperienced gamers.
