Videogame Review, Hanna-Barbera’s Cartoon Carnival for the Philips CD-i Console

Kids love spectacular visuals laid down on a TV.  Here, this is an educational game which presents a gamer (young or old) with puzzles ranging from beginner to moderately expert.  You’ll open presents, listen to picnic baskets, sniff through a maze, collect junk in space, go balloon-fishing, and answer ridiculous quizzes- the cartoon characters from Hanna-Barbera’s studios will be refined into likable personalities in the CD-i console’s graphical.  The sounds of music reign supreme and bounce off the TV when colors are flying into shapes.  No, literally.  Each letter you need to spell out for “Cartoon Carnival” will pop out in some kind of grotesque form that’s improved on by the cartoon world until humor is reached in visual format.  Controls are terrific because the action buttons go well with menus and options while the direction pad is used to let Fred gather balloons or move the Jetson’s space race in open air, figuratively.  Really tough worlds include Scooby-Doo’s island adventure and the Top Cat’s questionnaires over the Hanna-Barbera’s cartoons in need of attention on the CD-i; it’s actually fun to sniff around the mazes of different proportions and architecture types since the brown dog we’ve come to love is silly when approached by oncoming, closing walls; not to mention the Top Cat, who (after you’ve clicked on his hustler suit) has his homestead recover from an electrical outage after getting shocked and in a fall over the rooftop to his base for top-fact questionnaires.  It’s very funny!  DeviantArt users who draw will absolutely love the given visuals.  Nothing easy can be said for drawings and renderings of this sort which keep entertainment jolly until further notice on chaos and anxiety.  Values, as artists know them for drawings, become really wacky in Cartoon Carnival since there’s often an exaggeration made with a drawing for strange, odd creatures.  A lot of the game is philosophy of the impossible.  Who cares?  Maybe we’re turning our heads between facts and doubts while trying to understand the conflict among the Jetsons who must leak information between themselves and their friends during the most alluring events in the galaxy.  Once again I’d like to say that Nostalgia Critic from YouTube was wrong when he claimed that “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” united all of the cartoon characters we’ve ever had for the television history of humanity.  Pure fiction.  However, it’s true that we appeal to cartoons from the get-go before coming to realize later what just happened.  My direction pad moves in appropriate ways considering the people I’m controlling in the animated worlds.  Don’t quote me here but I believe there’s about 30 little cartoon episodes on this CD-i game even if I’ve had to step it up a notch on the Top Cat’s questions for the cartoon shows themselves, so it’s likely that from moments on end until kingdom come you’ll be more educated about Hanna-Barbera in the end.  Each episode has very good quality programming and resembles imaging video from a DVD.  That’s good for Scooby-Doo and everybody else.
