Neopets: The Darkest Faerie: Good Game or Not? – A Long Rant by Jake

Beginning Statement

Everyone knew it would happen someday. Neopets, the popular website would come out with a console game. I had big expectations about the game, but now I’m not sure what to think anymore. That’s why I’ve assembled this rant so I can get my points across.

Neopets has indeed told there users about the new game release. It will be on the Playstation console and be released by SCEA. It’s developer is the Code Monkeys, Ltd. Though seeming like excellent choices, they aren’t.

Console Problem

This is where our first problem begins. Playstation is an almost dead console, barely ever having new games. Even though PSX was known for starting such games as Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot, the system has gone out. Why not just never make the game in the first place?
