Review Freddi Fish and Luther aren't out to solve any adventure-laden mysteries in this soaked-up spinoff, but kids will wish they were as they quickly tire of slinging bubbles and eating worms. Kids burst bubbles with their slingshots and eat a required amount of worms before the draining water dries up the wiggling critters. Their reward? More of the same on levels that look exactly the same. Even Pavlov's dog wouldn't drool over this repetitively lame game. Likes: "I liked when the fish and turtles came out of the bubbles, and that's really all." Justin "The graphics were cool, and little kids would like the voices." Hilary Dislikes: "You can't change your weapons, and most of the game you just get worms and shoot bubbles." Daniel "All you did was shoot bubbles for worms. You should have more to do." Marc Rating:1/4 ©1999 MacAddict -- From MacAddict -- Subscribe now!This is one in a series of five limited but fun and affordable games that feature Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish and other characters from Humongous. In this game, inspired from the arcade classic Asteroids, children help Luther the fish aim and fire his sling shot to pop as many bubbles as possible and collect "worm doodles." The levels of difficulty change automatically as children play, and the program can be set for either play against the computer or against another child. Our testers found the game to be a bit fast paced for the lower ages, but generally fun. Some expected to see the depth of content found in the regular Freddi Fish programs and were disappointed with just one game. Another tester noted that this program is not nearly as addictive or fun as Luther's Maze Madness. Keep in mind that this is an arcade game with no real educational value, and it's a very different type of product than the popular Freddi Fish programs.
