2/10
Wasted potential

Warning: Spoilers
Four kids find themselves trapped in a video game personally designed by them and must now travel across the galaxy to find their missing game cartridges and stop a villain named Zorch from taking over the universe. Considering this was made by the same guy who created The Proud Family, you'd think that Bruce Smith would make this premise work, right. Hehehe, WRONG!!!! This cartoon is filled with so many plot holes that any kind of logic you try putting into it leaks out immediately.

The characters always constantly talk in slang that nobody EVER used (eg. "Tony Hawk it later, homie!"). Highly pretentious and tries way too hard. It's literally all just an annoying mess. It's a case of a horrible TV show with a good concept. Other sufferers from this case include Legends of Chamberlain Heights and later seasons of Oggy and the Cockroaches. Rips off better shows (mainly Samurai Jack and Captain N: The Game Master). It uses every sci-fi cliche in the book. Racist black stereotypes which is ironic considering that one of the creators (Bruce Smith, the main force behind it) is African-American. This show was so bad that only 4 of the 13 episodes were aired in America while the other 9 episodes aired in the UK. For some reason, the kids are surprised of what they see in the world they were teleported to. And said place looks like the game they made. Shouldn't they know it by now? Some lip sync screw ups there and there. The theme song (which by the way confirms that the kids indeed made the game) rips off Puff Daddy's Come With Me. It aired on one of the greatest Saturday morning cartoon blocks of all time, Kids! WB. And I don't think it's ever at any point explained where that vortex thing came from. What did the writers think that "fans" of this show would be show riveted and invested in watching the kids on their adventures in the video game world to question how they ended up there in the first place?
