"Sointenly" it's fun!
This is the first game I played on a Gameboy Advance, and I found it to be very fun and addicting. The graphics are cool and the individual games are original and challenging but not to the point of throwing the cartridge against the wall. The mission of the game is for the Stooges to earn at least $5,000 in 30 days to save an orphanage from a brutal banker. You choose different tasks by stopping a pointer as it moves through different options (each individual game equals one day). <

>Two of the jobs are helping out at a hospital and a grocery store. These games are very similar as you move the Stooges to catch items while trying not to run over too many people. Another money-making opportunity is the cracker-eating contest where you try to scoop up crackers with a spoon before oysters gobble them up (sound familiar?). This was very challenging to me at first, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Another mission is to get Larry to run down an alley (jumping and avoiding various objects) to obtain his violin and return to Curly's boxing match in time to play "Pop Goes the Weasel" (sound familiar?). This game can get you a big time pay off if you get back before the sixth round. I usually make it by the fifth. The most difficult job by far is the catering game where each Stooge throws pies or pizzas at the guests while avoiding being hit with pizzas that are thrown back at them. You have to pay attention to who's throwing and who's standing and how long it takes for the pie or pizza to make it to the other side. You have to go through 57 pies or pizzas and the ones that do not hit a guest in the face do not count, so this can be a very long game. Once you get into a rhythm, it can go very smoothly but the big pay-off is if you hit guests' faces 57 times without being hit yourself. I've never been able to do that. The graphics are very impressive. There is even a rug with a popular Micheangelo painting. The easiest options have the Stooges just finding money in the street. <

>Three Stooges fans will get a kick out of the game because the individual games refer to actual TS episodes and they even have actual TS audio clips and photos. One of the games includes TS trivia (it also has question about the video game company) <

>The reason I dropped a star is that the pointer sometimes plays tricks on you. You may think you've chosen an option but the pointer suddenly points to something else. Sometimes it hits on traps (if you take too long to choose, it will automatically hit a trap) and four traps have the Stooges going back to the orphanage before their 30 days and, often when that happens, they have not earned enough money to save the orphanage. The game then ends and you have to start over which is very frustrating if you have a good run going. It is difficult to get through all 30 days because of traps. The other problem I have is, when you complete your mission, the response you get seems to suggest there is a new mission and the game will continue, but it doesn't. It just ends there. What's up with that? After all that work it kind of makes you feel empty. Still, I find the game innovative and fun and recommend it to GBA players.

A must for Stoogies only
I'm a Knucklehead/Stoogie, so I bought the game. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else though. It gets boring REAL Fast, and the mini games that you have to play are pretty easy. Of course, this is a re-issue of an old game. If you liked the old game, you're sure to like this. But if you're not after nostalgia for that old game, or a die hard knucklehead, you should SOITENLY skip it.
