Product Specs

Description

The antics of The Flintstones have been well documented over the years, in both the video game and cartoon realms. Representing their Game Boy Advance debut, however, is The Flintstones: Big Trouble in Bedrock, a platform adventure that pits Fred against the evil Dr. Sinister. The villain has kidnapped Barney and to rescue his best friend, Fred must make his way through four themed environments -- from Bedrock, to a haunted house, to Dr. Sinister's Island -- each of which comprises a number of sub-levels filled with enemies, obstacles, and traps to impede Fred's progress. Able to double-jump and perform a turbo dash maneuver, Fred will have to carefully traverse platforms and spike pits while making use of the numerous items that cross his path. Bowling balls, clubs, cactus coolers, and bronto ribs can be acquired to help keep the pterodactyls, spiders, and malicious paperboys at bay. In a fine tradition of the genre, the accrual of a requisite number of clams (in this case, 50) will reward Fred with an additional life. Still cut-scenes, accompanied by text, explain the storyline and detail the interactions between Fred and familiar Bedrock denizens such as Wilma, Betty, and Gazoo. Away from the main adventure, players can listen to the many voice samples and music tracks included in the title.
