The Smurfs Dreams
SCORE: 81
I live streamed The Smurfs Dreams from start to finish on our YouTube
channel. The storyline involves Gargamel putting the Smurfs to sleep and
using a magical device to track their physical location through their
dreams. It took me just a little under five hours to beat The Smurfs
Dreams. There was one Smurf I did not save in The Smurfs Dreams. There
are certain Smurfs where you need so many of these blue mushrooms to
unlock their levels.
The animation in the cut scenes for The Smurfs Dreams is not great. In
fact it is chopping and looks bad. The story is relayed but in this day
and age it looks pretty sloppy. The levels have some interesting and
clever things in them. For example there are mirror levels where we see
the platforms in the reflection but not where we are standing. Or the
player must jump into the mirror and progress the level that way.
Between levels the Smurf grinds on rails. There are different tools
players unlock while playing The Smurfs Dreams. I liked the hammer and
the gun personally. I am not as big on the lamp because of what it does.
The hammer breaks or fixes things. The gun can shoot things - like
objects that will make platforms come out so we can jump on them. The
lamp either reveals hidden platformers or makes some platforms go away.
As we free the Smurfs from their dreams they will wake up in the
village. The village is where we start before going to the astral plane
(from a giant pillow) and pick levels to play. There are plenty of
secrets to find within The Smurfs Dreams. Cherries are collected in the
levels. The cherries can be used in The Smurfs Dreams to purchase new
Smurfs for the player to play.
All in all I enjoyed my time with The Smurfs Dreams. There are some
annoying and challenging levels. I am not a fan of the missing pants
levels where we had to hide from the other Smurfs. It was a sort of
stealth kind of a level that was just obnoxious most of the time. Many
of the levels make sense and I figured out where the secrets were
hiding. Some levels I would need to play around a bit more. The Smurfs
Dreams has a bit of an Astro Bots feel to it. Just on a much smaller
scale.
