Review
Glad of you to join this review girls! In this game your mission will be to navigate through 5 worlds and acquire secrets along the way! Are your objectives clear? Good Luck! 'Totally Spies' is a cartoon network series that spawned a lot of popularity due to it's wacky animation style and clear-cut drama-esc plot. It also helped that it had the 3 things growing boys liked to see: Redheads, Blondes, and Brunettes. Sam, Alex, and Clover are the three main characters of the series, sam being the redhead, alex being the dark-skinned black haired (asian?) one, and clover being the atypical blonde wanna-be-model type. Both the game and series focuses around them being sucked up out of their normal lives to go complete some sort of secret mission to save the world or their friends. The way they get sucked up is often comical in a weird way... like putting down a book and having the desk spring them up onto a plane. This game spreads out the action a bit in a not-so-good way. Sometimes you are in a 2D platformer-ish situation. Sometimes the platformer restricts your actions. Sometimes you have a different minigame to deal with. The action is so inconsistant the game has to tell you how to play every time you enter a new scene. The action itself is also a bit delayed. It's a bit jenky and not very fun overall. The animations and music of the game are on par and very good in some situations. Alex's edge recovery animation as an example. A girl that flexible in 2025? hah, only in your dreams. The game is short, about 3 stages per scenario and only about 5 scenarios. The levels themselves are also super short. Don't expect a ton of action out of this thing. There's no post-game either... and worse off, the secrets you can find? They direct you to a website that doesn't exist anymore! haaah! Credits after the final level.

All in All, This game received a 5.7 for it's mediocre gameplay. Delayed controls, Constant Inconsistency, Bad Hitboxes, Shortness, Slow Design.

TimeMage's verdict:
