Introduction

I usually don't like games with digitized characters in them, but this one proved to be an exception. The main character is played by Christopher Lloyd (who I liked in Back to the Future, but is actually crap in this game.)

Story

We play the role of Drew Blanc, a graphic artist, who is the creator of a successful cartoon show: the Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show. Drew is unhappy with his work because all he has to do is draw cute bunnies. When the ratings start to fall, the producer calls Drew into his office because he thinks he has the solution: more bunnies. Drew has a lot of original ideas but the producer won't even listen to them. One night while trying to come up with more bunny designs, Drew gets sucked into the TV, right into his own show. He lands in Cutopia, where all his cute characters live (even the ones he couldn't draw into the show). It turns out that Cutopia is in big trouble, they're being attacked by the evil characters who live in the Malevolands. Naturally Drew is the only one who can help.

Opinion

I know the story sounds stupid and it has been done many times before, but the writers really made it work in this game. The graphics are truly incredible, the music's very good, but the best feature of the game is probably its sense of humor. Unfortunately, there's no way to describe that, so you'll just have to buy the game for yourselves.
