Too long, didn't watch? Chubby Cherub is a nice chubby mess. As the first third-party game from Bandai, this thing's pretty much a wreck. A weird port of a japanese game, it's attempt to blend arcade style gameplay with a sidescrolling...floater? Jumper? Jump and floater? Anyway, it's an awful game with bad graphics, bad music, and poor controls. Not to mention you play a naked little boy whcih, in and of itself, sort of weirds me out. A lot.
And since Giant Bomb requires all reviews to be at least 270 character, here's a haiku I wrote for this game.
Oh Chubby Cherub
Your naked child really scares me
You Ain't Mario.
Avoid!
Star rating? One out of five.
