LushBubsy: The Woolies Strike Back is a surprisingly good game from what was thought to be one of the worst video game series ever. Lush environments and tight controls provide an excellent gaming experience. The only real problem is the length. It's not very long but it offers tons of replayability. There's also Bubsy's famous one-liners which add color to the game. The story isn't that deep but neither is Super Mario Odyssey's. The level design is truly something to behold; I haven't seen level design this good in 2D platformers in years. If you are a fan of platformers, you should definitely buy this game. And no, this is not a joke review.… Expand

It beautifully crafts a deep narative to rival the Kingdom Hearts franchise with an orchestral soundtrack that brought tears to my eyes as I listened in awe. It’s presentation can only be embraced with a Ps4 pro, in which it’s 144p resolution can run at 3 frames per second instead of the usual -2. In the future, I hope they make minecraft skin packs for this game aswel as furry costumes XD. Overall this is the reincarnation of lord himself and is a punishment for the sins of my father, Rest in Peace Suzy.
   
   10/5- A solid entry into the Roblox franchise, thank you Bethesda for this great game.… Expand

   I was actually glad Bubsy made a triumphant(?) return with this new game, but I feel like this was a missed opportunity.
   
   First, theI was actually glad Bubsy made a triumphant(?) return with this new game, but I feel like this was a missed opportunity.
   
   First, the gameplay is a HUGE step up from previous Bubsy games in the sense that you can actually control Bubsy fairly well. Although, jumping on enemies can feel weird because it has to be 100% accurate. The music is fairly okay. Nothing terrible. Nothing outstanding. I love Bubsy's new pounce move. Gives the player an opportunity to do some air attacks to reach higher platforms. It was also nice that you can change how often Bubsy speaks in-game so all those people who complain about him being annoying have no excuse now!
   
   Now for the bad, and this is a major complaint.. The game is SHORT. Not Yoshi's Island short, but still short. This game consists of only 11 platform levels and 3 bosses. I would have liked maybe 2 more worlds to make it worth the asking price. There is no unlockables or bonus content. It's just that.
   
   If Accolade is reading this I know a sure fire way of truly making Bubsy a respectable gaming icon rather than a joke.
   
   First: Include more levels next time. 30 levels can be just enough. And maybe some secret extra tough levels for completionists.
   Second: Change the art style. These 3D models in 2D gameplay don't look appealing. (Metroid 2, NSMB, etc). Maybe make it hand drawn like Rayman Origins?
   Third: For the love of GOD give the enemies more variety and personality. Donkey Kong has the Kremlings and Mario has the Koopas. All with different variations and personalities. Stop using the same Wooly model for everything. They're an alien species, right? Maybe make an alien blob form or something? ANYTHING.
   Fourth: Make the stages more unique. Most of the time I felt I was marathoning the same level because of how generic the stages are and can't recall a single unique level. I did like the lava rising in one of the final levels.
   
   I hope Accolade puts more effort next time because gamers will now be very wary. Please please PLEASE improve the formula! Don't settle for "good enough". This is definitely a step in the right direction.… Expand

   Mediocre Return
   The Woolies Strike back is definitely a massive step up from Bubsy 3D, But it’s still not very good.

   The people at Black Forest Games are no strangers to reviving long dormant platforming franchises with a less then stellar reputation. JustThe people at Black Forest Games are no strangers to reviving long dormant platforming franchises with a less then stellar reputation. Just look at what they did with the Giana Sisters. So who better to resurrect Bubsy? While they succeeded in giving him his best game, the series is just as bad as ever.
   
   The first thing that becomes noticeable is how few one-liners the bobcat has. I heard everything he had to say by the time I reached the second level. As a result I quickly made use of the option in the menus to decrease the amount of talking he did. Given that the characters personality is supposed to be such a big part of the experience, shouldn't they have tried harder at giving him more dialog?
   
   It is not hard to see why they thought it might have been a possibility to get away with the verbal repetition. There is remarkably little content in the game. There are fourteen levels in total including the tutorial and boss stages. While there are collectible yarn balls and T-shirts throughout, there isn't enough here to justify the $30 price tag. Perhaps this would have been better off as a $10 downloadable game. Even then it wouldn't have been good.
   
   Serviceable platforming and tight controls make this much more playable than any of the previous Bubsy titles, but the shoddy hit detection and frustrating boss fights bring things down. Your pounce move is completely useless for anything other than breaking through certain walls. Even the simple act of jumping on the enemies heads is unreliable. This partly due to the hit detection issues, and partly due to the weird physical design of the enemies themselves. This can be especially annoying when jumping on enemies is necessary as a part of a platforming challenge to reach a collectible.
   
   When all is said and done, I think it's safe to say that Bubsy can be retired again. The time wasn't taken to make this a truly memorable comeback. If anything the lack of wit and variety in the one-liners and the poor gameplay are a reminder of why some series should just stay dead. Maybe someone will come along again in the next 20 years or so and finally do Bubsy right. Until then, I don't think he should be showing his face around these parts anymore.… Expand
