Naughty Bear is a game that needs to be approached with a certain kind of perspective and preparation. Expectations for revolutionary gameplay, a brilliant story line, scripted scenes on par with prime time drama, or innovative game mechanics should be cast aside. Those things are not going to be found here.
Don’t know why, but where directors and producers are incredibly important to cinema buffs, for some reason most of us in the gaming community fail to notice the developer/publisher of the games we buy. In this case our developer (the people who designed the game) Artificial Mind and Movement is a very well established developer…in making a lot of those movie/cartoon to video game ports that all of us hate so very much. Prior to this their only silver lining IMHO was Wet, which was pretty awesome. Anyway, their publisher (the people who market, sell, and occasionally help pay for the game), in this case 505 Games, are responsible for the Discovery Kids games hitting shelves. Yeah, you know, those DS games with the animals on the cover, Puppy Playtime, and Kitten Corner…need I go on?
