Being a fanatic of the movie and series, it should come as no surprise that I was excited when this game first came out. Years later I stumbled across it with the rest of my collection of dalmatian paraphernalia and decided to try it out again to relive my younger days.
All in all, they didn't do as great a job as they could have. If you've played the title Puppies to the Rescue for either PC or PlayStation, you have the ever basic formula of this one. However it is no comparison to me which game is better.
Patches London Adventure has you running around collecting bones, steaks, barking at enemies and saving puppies. This is the same premise as in Puppies to the Rescue, but for some reason it doesn't come across the same way. The graphics are downright laughable in comparison, the goals are mediocre and most levels incredibly easy. There are some levels that prove me wrong some had me frustrated for hours but this is the general rule. Movement is kind of choppy and slow, unless you roll or jump everywhere you go, which isn't practical if you run into an enemy.
Another thing is that the music is exactly the same as in Puppies to the Rescue. No joke. Its as if they were too lazy to come up with something more original (its still good music but works better with the other game, in my opinion). That or the company making this game didn't take the time to come up with an improved and more enhanced addition to the Dalmatian family and instead pushed for something so it would be released in time with the movie.
Overall I guess the game is... cute. If you're a true 101 Dalmatians fan or collector then its probably worth playing at least once. But to the average gamer who happens to like Disney titles, stick to almost ANY other dalmatian game.
