Critic Reviews

80	AceGamez 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.
75	GameZone The timer may be problematic for some children, but kids who thrive on competition will have a blast.
70	Deeko 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.
67	Console Gameworld 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.
