Noby Noby Boy (ps3)

The Playstation store is where innovation and creativity seems to breed, but has Noby Noby Boy gone too far, and what the smeg is it all about?

Let’s get something straight first, this title is classed as a game loosely in my mind, much like the recently released Flower. I suppose there is an ‘interstellar’ objective but the game is meant to be enjoyed, if you try this title with the frame of mind of seeking out all of the objectives and hidden gems you won’t enjoy yourself, this title is meant to be experienced and your brain is not required.

You control ‘Boy’ who looks like two gobstoppers connected via a stripy scarf, using the analogue sticks you can control each end of ‘Boy’ making him stretch, contract or wrap around objects. Be careful however as soon you could end up with ‘Boy’ wrapped and twirled around every object on the map in one big stringy mess. The bottom shoulder buttons allow for the corresponding end to grab the ground as the floaty gravity can often prove troublesome, tapping these buttons will do the opposite and make ‘Boy’ jump into the air and float.

Every level is randomly generated and filled with creatures, plants, tress, objects and other random shapes. If you fall of the edge of the level you will be reborn from the house out of its chimney, if you visit this said house a new level will be randomly generated. A lot of this game seems to be random, as it any given moment the creatures in your level may choose to hitch a ride on your back, chase you or run from you in terror, or just ignore you all together. The creatures that at present in the levels (again it is random every time so you may just have nothing but trees) range from cows and pigs, to lions and even Egyptian looking Sphinxes. There are no tutorials other then basic controls so when you find out a hidden little piece of the puzzle like you can force animals together and create a new one, like a penguin-lion hybrid you really start to see that there really is no limits to this game; the main reason I say this is because as more people play this game the longer ‘Girl’ gets. ‘Girl’ stretches in proportion to all the players in the Noby Noby universe and how they are doing, when ‘Girl’ reaches the next planet the game levels change (or so we are told as she still has to reach the moon).

If you relax and can get over the colourful graphics you may find this game is just fun to play, it doesn’t matter there are no set objectives it is pure game play, pure entertainment which is not tainted  by forced goals.

With screen capture and video capture utilities and the inclusion of trophies you will soon be looping through doughnut clouds to mix a lion and a cow together while carrying a few cars on your back before the T-Rex gets in the way, now that’s not a sentence I think I would ever say.

Overall this game won’t be everybody’s cup of tea as some people cannot live without rules, however it is different, fun and again shows the unique titles we receive as Playstation users.
