Franklin's Great Adventures Reviews

Discuss Review + Want + Have Contribute

Though they were designed to spice things up, the mini-games ultimately are a mixed bag. The same is true of the whole game. On the positive side you have a cheery atmosphere that kids and even world weary adults should love. Picking flowers on a mountainside for one of your neighbors might not be as exciting as blowing aliens out the sky, but sometimes the simple pleasures are the best. It’s just a shame that occasionally spotty mini-games and a desire to simplify things for the kids ended up marring the overall product. It’s not enough to keep the game from being a good bet for your kids, but it’s enough to stop it from being a must-buy. Here’s hoping Franklin’s next title builds on this one and reaches its true potential. Now that would be an adventure!
