Pizza Possum is a wonderful game that can be picked up by almost anyone and enjoyed. An offbeat and amusing premise lead into a mechanically sound game that works on pretty much every level. And is all wrapped in a presentation that is clear and absolutely adorable. My only complaints come from just how quickly the game runs its course; a bit more variety in the later parts of the game would have been the cherry ontop of the (possibly stolen) cake. But for the time that the game does keep you guessing, it was a fantastic ride. I can't wait to go back and see what other options I can find in the future, either by myself or dragging my friends along for another heist.
Shadow Gambit too complex? Too many hours
of cutscenes in the Metal Gear collection?
Try this snack-sized stealth that anyone can
enjoy instead. Exquisite! [Issue#34, p.79]
Pizza Possum delivers on its promises as the arcade looting chaos is a lot of fun. This game is a well-made arcade feast that's even better for those who want to steal food as a couple in co-op mode. However, like all delicious and ephemeral food, it leaves you wanting more.
Pizza Possum is a party game that offers fun, especially during the cooperative experience. The game has some promising ideas with its power-ups and scoring system, but it falls short in several aspects, including the very short campaign duration, the lack of content, and the limited replay value.
Summary Live your ultimate possum dreams in a snackable, chaotic arcade game focused on eating as much food as you can in single-player or local co-op - without getting caught.
