Product reviews...
Personally, though I think the theme of this game is a little icky, the kids loved it! No surprises there, they're boys.
This game was a real hit at a gathering of 10-11 year olds, who played it well past their regular bedtime and seemed to enjoy the 'gross factor' as much as the gameplay, and didn't even seem to mind the high educational content of the game.
Well designed, well constructed and fairly intuitive, the game did get the kids hung up a little in places, but a few moments of adult intervention got things back on track and the game continued unabated.
Overall, I thought the game had a lot going for it, and managed to pull off some great 'nutrition education' without feeling like it was ramming healthy food concepts down the kids' throats. They were able to enjoy the game, and later that evening one poor chap learned for himself why bulk snarfing of junk food is bad for you... much to the misery of himself, and the nasal abuse of the other kids who stayed for a sleepover afterwards. Lesson WELL learned.
