This is definitely one of the worst video games I have ever played. Even though I only rented it from Blockbuster way back in the day as a kid, I still can't emphasize how much I wanted to return it and get my money back after playing it for only twenty minutes.
The plot is pretty simple. Bubsy Bobcat is abducted by the Woolies in their attempt to invade Earth and steal all of its yarn. However, Bubsy manages to escape and must fight his way across 18 different, Woolie infested stages, and find a way back to Earth by collecting atoms and space rocket parts.
Basically, this game failed miserably in every way Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot succeeded when all three came out in 1996.
First of all, Bubsy is completely insufferable. His character model is ugly, and his big, toothy grin is borderline creepy. His voice is the most annoying I've ever heard in a video game. Seriously, every time he spoke, it felt like someone was puncturing my eardrums with needles! His constant spouting of lame jokes and cat puns only made me despise him more.
The graphics were terrible, even for its time. The animation was low-framed and jerky. And the level designs and landscape were largely bland and untextured, making them look completely dull. In fact, it felt like the game was only half-way finished and a very clunky prototype was rushed onto the shelves.
The tank controls made Bubsy's movements stiff and awkward, especially when jumping from one platform to another. Combined with the confusing camera angles, this made navigating through the poorly designed levels a nightmare.
The music is repetitive and almost as annoying as Bubsy himself. It gets even worse whenever an enemy is nearby, which will probably make up half the time you waste time playing this heap of garbage.
Whether it's on an ancient but functional PS1 or an emulator, do NOT play Bubsy 3D if you value your time and sanity.
