Inspector Gadget: Mad Robots Invasion

Inspector Gadget: Mad Robots Invasion is a platformer game released for the PS2 in 2003 only in Europe, based off the popular 1980s cartoon mh:besttvshows:Inspector Gadget.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The graphics look absolutely horrendous, resembling a game that was made specifically for the Nintendo 64, and to rub salt to the wound, this game was released in 2003, when other games that were released in that year had way better graphics, like SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, The Simpsons: Hit & Run, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City & The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
 * 2) Terrible animation in the opening cutscene.
 * 3) Just like Ghostbusters for the NES, the game only has one song that is played for an endless loop.
 * 4) Misleading game cover. You see that giant robot over there? Well guess what, it's not in the game at all!
 * 5) The plot is absolutely confusing from all over the place; apparently, Dr. Claw builds a bomb that destroys all of Gadget's gadgets, yet he somehow has three from the start of the game (a hammer for attacking enemies, an arm to hang from ledges, and a tennis racquet that deflects projectiles)
 * 6) While the voice acting is ok, Dr. Claw sounds nothing like he sounded in the original cartoon at all!
 * 7) The sound effects are very weird, for example, everytime when Gadget jumps, a "whee!" sound effect is heard, and Gadget says "By my gadgets!" when he picks up a heart, which sounds quite inappropriate.
 * 8) The game is somehow extremely easy and extremely hard at the same time, meaning that the game's difficulty is very inconsistent all over the place.
 * 9) While the Spanish language is decent, the loading screens say "Downloading" instead of "Loading", and as Skapokon said in his review: "Why do I have to download the game again?"

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The face Gadget makes when he dies is pretty amusing and is a lot like the cartoon the game was based on.
 * 2) The voice acting is pretty decent, despite Dr. Claw sounding nothing like his original version.
 * 3) Despite the music being repeated too many times, it's kind of catchy.
