I will play it someday, it will maybe wont be great, but I am sure it will be at least a decent platformer |

I think all the hate is likely from the scott the woz video on it. |

Reading the Wikipedia page for it, the game is made out to be like it's the most god awful thing to have ever happened on Earth. Whoever authored the page clearly had some personal vendetta against it LOL. The game is totally sweet!!! I think it's a blast to play and the visual/audio presentation is incredibly charming. I had no problems getting the hang of the rope mechanics and controls. The level spin wheel is... an interesting design choice, but it's not anything to hamper down my enjoyment of the game. I did a Twitter search of the title to see what others have had to say about it, and I was a bit surprised to see how often this game is used as like a punchline for something being terrible and disappointing, i.e. "still not as bad as Chibi Robo Zip Lash". What a bunch of killjoys man!!! Is there anybody else here who is at least a little bit more sympathetic towards this charming side-scrolling platformer like I am? --- End quote --- The thing is the games prior to it where really creative and fun. especially the og gamecube version. it was an experience that was different it's what made chibi robo. It's definitely not a terrible game however we have tons of 2D side scrollers the competition is fierce. zip lash doesn't do anything exceptional it's outclassed by so many other alternatives on the system and from past consoles. It's more why would you pick this title up instead of your other options mario donkey kong kirby etc etc. Not a bad game but it's a total waste that they ditched the og chibi robo concept. At least the ds games especially clean sweep wich was japan only where pretty decent followups with the og vision in mind. I personally think it's a shame a decent platformer doesn't replace the og gameplay of chibi robo. |

Zip Lash. And, believe it or not, I enjoyed my time playing it too. Zip Lash never set out to be the greatest platformer, and it maintains at doing a fine job at keeping players engaged. Was it ultimately the best direction to take the series? No, it wasn't. As a fan of the entire series, I wanted to support Skip Ltd. in hopes of them creating more future titles within the series. Or, if that truly wasn't possible, for them to pursue new and creative endeavors that the team could explore. --- Quote from: covfefe2020 on April 19, 2021, 01:40:09 pm ---I think all the hate is likely from the scott the woz video on it. --- End quote --- Zip Lash has received plenty of negative reception since it released over five years ago. Scott the Woz may have helped fuel the sensation since he's first voiced opinions about the game roughly 18 months post-release, but the reception certainly does not originate from Scott. |

I agree that it was never supposed to be the greatest platformer. but when you launch on a system that has plenty of quality ones people will compare it to those titles. There is no reason for most consumers to pick zip lash over the other far superior alternatives. it isn't that suprising that the reviews will be mixed as a result. Still clean sweep on ds was the final chibi robo game in wich they still had developers from the OG. Nobody of the OG chibi robo series was left when they made zip lash for 3ds. Entirely new team. The OG vision of chibi robo might never return again. |
