(Wii, Namco, cert: 3, out now)
The latest movie tie-in game aimed at young Wii owners is unsurprisingly being released to coincide with the new CGI film inspired by the classic Hanna-Barbera animation, based on the misadventures of Jellystone's most famous resident.
Yogi Bear: The Video Game takes the form of a conventional 2D platforming adventure, which entails flinging its protagonist between ledges, gathering scattered collectibles and outmanoeuvring gently aggressive American wildlife.
Tasked with saving Jellystone from closure as its centennial anniversary nears, Yogi is a bear who is clearly rather tentative about exploring new realms within the platforming genre. For anybody who has played the classics, our hero's exploits will perhaps feel rather too ordinary. Typical arrangements of arbitrarily placed platforms and swinging vines do little to distinguish the release from its many competitors.
But this is a game aimed at children, and to judge it with the jaundiced eye of years of gameplaying, when mechanically and technically it is robust and well-implemented, would be unfair. It realises the world and character of Jellystone capably, and for those young players yet to enjoy the highlights of Mario's career and enraptured by Yogi's cinematic outing, it will, doubtless, delight no end.
