Third times the charm?
Adventure Timeis so inherently well suited to videogames that it almost works against it. Every fan of the series already knows what they want in anAdventure Timegame. Sadly, none of the game adaptations of the series have had the budget or development time necessary to meet those lofty expectations.
The nextAdventure Timegame for consoles looks like as earnest an attempt as any to do better than the games that came before it.Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdomlooks to combineZelda 2-influenced stuff fromAdventure Time: HIKWYSOGand the top down dungeon exploration fromAdventure Time: ETDBIDK.Sounds like a good idea to me.
Will it be theAdventure Timegame we’ve always dreamed of? Probably not. That doesn’t mean it wont be an enjoyable little romp. There was a time when borrowing from the originalLegend of Zeldawas pretty common place. Games likeNeutopia, andGolden Axe Warriorwere taken for granted, then slowly slipped into obscurity. It would be nice to see that brand of clone make a comeback.
