The repetitiveness isn't the worst part. It's too much like a report instead of a review. "I did this and this happened", etc. It's just not very interesting to listen too. Instead of saying “I went online but no-one was there”, you could say “Online is empty” and then make a conclusion like “so its inclusion is useless you have Burger Time aficionados on your friends list”.
Burger Time Deluxe is available on the 3DS Virtual Console for $3 - proabably easier than tracking it down on Gameboy.. or tracking down an original Gameboy. (or pocket, or color)
Great review - not sure why the camera is pulled so far back, especially with the curved sides of the level so clearly visible most of the time... I'm sure I could see it fine on my TV, but not everyone out there has a 56" set 6 feet in front of a loveseat. What? I'm myopic.
for a Happy vgn you are far too negative in almost all you reviews. and it feels like you never finish totally reviewing the games because you say you couldnt be bothered to do so. and no ,if you found it boring i dont think it should account for something. maybe inspire yourself a little more from more accomplished reviewers ?
Man, Burger Time on the NES used to give me that super hyper, anxiety attack feeling, lol. Same Pac-Man. Good times though, one of the first games I ever played.
I seriously got a headache just watching this review, so based on that, I think I will skip this one, and keep my eyes open for Diner, for my Intelevision ;-)
Great review! I thought you provided a solid review. I have played this game on PS3 and I totally agree--BUSY! Check my channel out when you have a chance! Thanks brotha!
@Gmpeirce Actually I think they're more just constructive criticism. Something that is hard to get these days because everyone is complaining about everyone complaining...
Nice, a bit more of a professional review from you. Unfortunately, you repeated yourself a LOT and it felt like you were artificially padding the video with said repetition. Try changing up your vernacular or simply being more brief. Decent work, however.
@MMercM I agree to an extent. When he brought a topic back up, he added more detail. a lot of writers do that. synopsis then a clarification of said synopsis. the problem here was that he pretty much used the exact same words when he repeated the subject before giving his more lengthily detailed evaluation. If he'd changed it up a little in the dialogue it would probably be next to unnoticeable.
In all seriousness, thanks for a really informative review. You were sometimes a bit repetitive on the controls, graphics and camera, but otherwise it's really concise. Here's hoping you do more of these.
I realize this was a "serious" review, but it's a shame you couldn't work in a "Burgers Every Day" reference. Great review otherwise, though. Very informative.
Bargers!

the ability to zoom in and play more close up would have helped this game A LOT, maybe if they make a new one they will add that feature.

@MMercM I think he repeated himself due to a lack of organization.
If he organized the topics, and tied them together USING the repeated things, then it wouldn't have felt so padded.
