It's practically tailor made for two player, so it's disappointing that all we could play were minigames. It seems like an obvious choice, there are two playable characters, and teamwork is a major portion of the game. Season 101 Season 102 Season 103 Season 104 Season 105 Season 106 Season 107 (96) 6.5 2006 TV-G. Ironically, Circle of Spies leaves out the very obvious use for multiplayer, cooperative play. It doesn't seem that it's going to be used very much. But those people would have to have their Wi-Fi set up, and want to play Whack-A-Ghost so much that they'd log on to find someone. First enough people would have to buy the game, probably not a problem since it's based on a popular show. We tried to find somebody to play with, but weren't surprised to see nobody biting. However, it's a bit of weird title to put online. It's great that A2M put the work into getting the game online we appreciate the effort on the underused ability. Players can hook up with friends or just anyone and play Whack-A-Ghost over the internet. The developers actually stuck in Wi-Fi capabilities too though. The minigames can all be played multiplayer, though they need multiple game cards. Can we think of a better minigame here people? Every DS game does not need Air Hockey, especially if it's not going to be done right. Air Hockey is much easier, but is a slow, overly fractioned bore. It's nearly impossible to keep the package from falling, but thankfully players only have to keep one to finish the game. The Balance game has players use the touch screen to try and keep an increasing number of packages in London or Maddie's grasp while they try to avoid bellhops. Seriously, online flash games play better. The Balance and Air Hockey games are some of the poorest controlling minigames we've seen. Thankfully none of them require blowing into the microphone until the player passes out. For Circle of Spies, the missions are capped off by one of three minigames. Gone too are the first person boss battles, which were more of an act of tedium than anything else. We know Zack and Cody are identical, but using the same photoshopped layer for the facial expression makes them look like the Children of the Damned. While the developers did not include awkward looking screenshots, they did put in some rather crude drawings of the cast. Circle of Spies does suffer in the presentation department, though. The level design is very cliche, with floating platforms and death pits (in a hotel?), but the level's strength lies in its alternating pathways that allows both twins to work through the same area together. The actual platforming elements are decent, but it's nothing spectacular. Some of the abilities, like the lock picking feature are not very fun, but luckily things like that end up being more of an optional game choice, used mostly to collect hidden objects. This time Zack and Cody travel outside the Tipton Hotel.īoth Zack and Cody gain new abilities through the use of upgraded equipment and new gadgets, so the game becomes even more diverse as it progresses. Overall the game's pace is vastly improved by the change. The areas the boys separate in are usually pretty confined, and require a constant alternating between Zack and Cody to get past. A new option is to link the twins together, so that they will follow each other until they reach a bypass. In Circle of Spies, the focus is on completing the levels together. Players just ran in one direction with one character until they hit a roadblock, then just switched characters. Last time everything was so disconnected. A few small tweaks have completely changed the entire feel of the game, and for the better. This time they can both do a variety of things, like jump and attack enemies, but each twin also has his own special skills that come in handy. Zack could jump, and Cody could do everything else. The biggest difference is that Zack is actually useful this time around! In the previous title the twins were essentially one character split into two parts. Kudos to the developers for making the effort because it really improves the title, but it's a shame that some of the changes are equally as bad. In fact most of the things listed in our review for the last game are thankfully missing from Circle of Spies. SUITE LIFE OF ZACK AND CODY SERIALWatch The Suite Life of Zack & Cody - English Coming of Age Comedy Kids serial on Disney+ now. It would appear A2M actually looked at what parts of them game were bad, and decided to change them. Twin brothers Zack and Cody get to live with their single mom in Bostons swankiest hotel. The game is still a 3D, on rails platformer, but there are some major differences that expand the title. Episodes Season 1 (2005-2006) No.Circle of Spies is very similar to its prequel, Tipton Trouble.
