The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius - Attack of the Twonkies

Jimmy Meet World

Aliens from Twonkus-3 -- the comet that passes over Retroville every year -- overrun the town and threaten everything in their path. When music can be heard, the aliens becomes agitated -- multiplying and growing to tremendous proportions. It's up to Jimmy Neutron to figure out combinations of everyday items and turn them into inventions that will defeat the Twonkus-3 aliens.Features* Inventions system allows players to collect everyday objects and combine them to create dozens of gizmos, inventions and super inventions * Six episodes spanning 15 levels including Jimmy's Lab, Twonkus-3, The Neighborhood, Downtown, Retroland and the Final Showdown * $19.99 MSRP

Returning from a quick trip to Twonkus, Jimmy unwittingly brings back a rocketship full of trouble. Twonkies start off all cute and cuddly, like cooing teddy bears. Turn on some tunes, though, and they grow big into snarling beasts. Their bark is much worse than their bite, but Jimmy will still need to work overtime to get them out of Retroville.Gameplay consists of tromping around fairly small levels, rounding up Twonkies, defeating feckless enemies and solving simple puzzles. Very simple puzzles. Jimmy may be a genius, but you don't have to be. For example, when Twonkies terrorize Jimmy and his pals in the school science lab, Jimmy immediately finds the makings of a shrink ray, which he then bounces off a mirror to shrink himself and escape.Enemies are dimmer than a Yugo dome light. In real life, a bully goes out of his way to pick a fight. The bully Jimmy encounters in the school library, though, won't raise a finger unless Jimmy misses when he throws a book at him.Bright Y Button icons tell you where to look next. Lengthy checklists that feature every minor objective in a level make the game feel much more substantial than it actually is.With the help of trusty robo-dog Goddard, Jimmy finds everyday objects like a calculator and a ball of string. He then fashions them into gee-wow stuff like a rocket ship. So why hasn't this kid won a Nobel Prize?Goddard develops additional abilities, too -- always just when they're needed. For example, on Twonkus, Jimmy finds the dig ability -- which proves to be vital for excavating rare minerals on the planet.THQ's Australia studio ladles on lots of well-crafted cinema and voice-overs. In fact, the game feels like an extended Jimmy Neutron episode, with plenty of screen time for Jimmy's pals Carl and Sheen and other citizens of Retroville.Bottom LineAt an MSRP of $19.99, Jimmy Neutron: Attack of the Twonkies is great fun for Jimmy fans.

Join Nickelodeon's brainy boy wonder for his latest adventure and create crafty gadgets
to defeat the nefarious aliens of Twonkus-3.

If awards were given to games for the length and/or silliness of their title, THQ's latest

gadgetry. Only the inventiveness of one Boy Genius can defeat the evil Twonkies....

The trouble starts when the inhabitants of Retroland find themselves under attack by aliens
from the orbiting comet known as Twonkus-3. The Twonkies aren't your regular aliens
either - they're weird creatures that multiply and enlarge whenever music is played.
