Critic Reviews

85 Media and Games Online Network
Lots and lots of new and exciting things to do here. Just a refreshing game.
76 Armchair Empire
It’s got some good-looking graphics, is easily accessible since it relies on convention, and enough challenge for young and old.
71 Gamer's Pulse
The gameplay made an attempt at doing something different, but only managed to make an already easy game even easier.
70 All Game Guide
It is an original GBA title, not a port of another game from another time. That means that the developers have created an attractive game that takes advantage of the GBA's larger numbers of colors and faster architecture.
70 GamerWeb Nintendo
The necessity of replaying levels is grating, but Pinobee is charming and fun.
65 GameSpy
You'd be much better served picking up a port like Rayman or Mario, or something more original like Warioland.
62 TotalGames.net
It’s really, REALLY boring.
25 Gaming Age
If you want a game that is a pale imitation of a "good" platformer, than give Pinobee a try.
