Noby Noby Boy Review (PS3)

Do you like the weird and twisted? How about the unique and strange? Well Noby Noby Boy is the perfect game for you. The game is a PS3 exclusive available only via the PSN for a low price of $5. It involves a blob-like creature that eats and stretches to great lengths. That’s about the only thing to do in the game but it does get a little more involved.

 

The game features many different boards or areas that contain things for your Noby Noby Boy to eat and stretch out. The point of stretching is to report your overall game lengths to “Girl” who will reach different planets thus opening up new playing areas. Sadly, you’ll get the same satisfaction of eating and stretching regardless of the board you play. While reporting your stretches to Girl may unlock new planets to go to, it won’t change the game-play one bit. The game does keep a leaderboard of who has reported the longest lengths to Girl and it’s interesting to see where you fall into the mix.

 

The controls are pretty simple having the 2 analog sticks acting as your movement and stretch buttons. One stick controls the front of Noby Noby Boy while the other stick controls its rear. Press the analog sticks in the opposite directions and you have instant stretching. While the stretching controls are simple, the camera is horrible to maneuver. Sometimes you’ll stretch so long that the camera simply cannot handle all of you and you’ll be stuck with this awkward angle. More often than not, you’ll be trying to fix the camera angle just to see what’s going on. The longer you get, the worse the camera gets.

 

Overall, I’m not quite what to classify this game under. It’s not a bad game but it’s a good game either. It’s cheap to purchase but there isn’t a point to it. It’s unique and strange in a semi-fun way but there still isn’t a point to it. You get the idea by now. If you don’t mind paying the $5 to play something different, by all means, go for it. But if you don’t, you aren’t missing much.
