Dog Man: Mission Impawsible

For those who have never heard or engaged with anything Dog Man related, you may find this just an average platformer. It very much is just that when it comes to how it feels to play. Having watched the movie I did feel like I understood the mechanics better and why the characters intertwine within levels to work with certain elements. It is a faithful nod to the brilliant cartoon design of the books, a few of which I have purchased for my Dog Man obsessed little lad. If you’re after a family friendly platforming title that even smaller children can enjoy, then Dog Man is worth your time. Those who enjoy a challenge however, may find this a little on the easy side.

Dog Man: Impawsible Mission is a light and breezy platformer that will keep fans of the books happy for a number of hours. However, parents might need to be on hand to get past some of the trickier sections.

The Dog Man franchise seems a fun and far-reaching thing, but this particular video game entry in its overall franchise feels a tad overpriced, and the basic game play and jaunty music just cannot make up for that fiscal discrepancy. Absolutely wait for a sale on this one, if it is a game that you feel you must play.

Policán: Un Día de Perros is a nice and fun 2D platform game that will delight the little ones at home. With a duration of about 5 hours, it is a perfect title for short sessions. It is true that the title can be too simple and straightforward, something that is normal due to the target audience.

Dog Man: Mission Impawsible is a fantastic little title if you want to sit down on the couch and just immerse yourself into a great little side scroller. I’ve been getting more and more into my handheld gaming and this was a great little title that kept me amused for a good amount of time over the holiday season.

Dog Man: Mission Impawsible is a charming game that perfectly captures the essence of the book series. With its humorous style, varied level design and lovable characters, it is aimed primarily at fans of the comics and younger players. However, adults looking for an easily accessible and entertaining adventure will also find what they are looking for here. Despite minor weaknesses - such as the occasional camera problems, the somewhat simple story or the sluggishness of the movements - the game impresses with its fresh approach and lovingly designed comic style.

At the price, it's hard to recommend Dog Man: Mission Impawsible to anyone but the utmost devoted fans of the books. Everyone else is better off hunting for something else to play.

I enjoyed this game because it has a good deal of fun and challenging levels.

Dav Pilkey’s world of Dog Man has been recreated lovingly. I’m sure he would be proud of the game. Dog Man: Mission Impawsible is platforming at its best. It’s also a lot of fun to play through. I’ve spent a few evenings playing the game along with the TC Mini Crew and it’s given me an experience that can’t be replaced. Those core memories will live with me for a lifetime. Dog Man: Mission Impawsible receives the Thumb Culture Gold Award.

Dog Man: Mission Impawsible may be a more childish title, but it is still an interesting adventure for those who want a platform game that is not too complex and even want a gateway to get to know Dog Man and his stories. The charisma of Dav Pilkey's universe was very well translated and manages to be as funny as the books.
