Fancy Pants Adventure World 3 Game Review


    The long awaited, much anticipated, never duplicated, Fancy Pants Adventure World 3 has made its way into the world with a pretty big splash. It took a while to get it in a distributional format but I'm sure there was a greedy reason there, not all games get site locked just those that seem to get more push from publishers.  I'm not saying this game isn't cool or even fun to play but sometimes these games are treated like they are much more than they are. Fancy Pants Adventure World 3 (FPAW3) is one of the simplest looking games out there and because I have played it I know that the level design and story line are really, really good but to the average person looking to play a game online, this one may not appeal to everyone.

    I play tons of games and all different kinds and when I review one game I compare it to all of the ones like it, not that I've played which is why I don't exactly understand the draw (pun intended) to this game. The look alone got to me, I understand the beauty of simplicity but at the same time visually sexy games are very big money makers. I remember every year I would say that the video game Gran Turismo was more realistic, or sounded better than the year before.

WoW, Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons Online, and other RPG games prey on the sexy look attracting the male mind is always done visually and just as a guess how big would you say the 13-35 year old male demographic is? Big enough to get everyone and thier mother to invest a million into a graphically sophisticated game and make as big a splash as they can as fast as they can because those games rarely have sustenance or any time of playability. That's why flash game websites numbers are second only to porn, because there are some games here that are not only good for the mind, but the heart too. Relax a while and play a video game after you pay all of your bills and realized you have no money and don't get paid for another week. Enjoy this flash game, it was a well though game that will give you more enjoyment than you paid for.
     I do get a kick out of the scripts written in some of these games. This one is about bathtub pirates that have stolen the royal bathtub and subsequently Mr. Fancy Pants little sister. I also get a kick out of the way the writers poke fun at their own silly games and comments. These guys make really good games, and by that I mean some of the best overall and they realize how these games are meant to be silly, fun, and pure entertainment. Next game I play that has a pirate with a rainbow beard, it will loose points dramatically for not being original.


    I did review the Fancy Pants Adventure World 2 on my games site and honestly, if you think about that one, it had a very Alice in Wonderland feel to it. This one kinda freaked me out once the rainbow bearded pirate came out, if this was a demented version of Pirates of the Caribbean then cool but I haven't seen anything like that out of it yet. Maybe I read to much into the following a rabbit in a hole in the other one. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind when I played it the first dozen times or so. Don't get me wrong, this game can be fun if you put on the right music and play it like the old Sonic the Hedgehog games.
