Kuri Kuri

Kuri Kuri Mix - It's okay. Nothing stunning.
Puzzle/Platformer. With two mad jap bunnies. As a single player it is tricky, you control the left hand bunny with the left analogue stick & L1/L2 buttons. And the right bunny with the right analogue stick and R1/R2 buttons. In order to progress through the forward scrolling level, the left and right bunnies have to interact, pushing buttons on the right to drop gangways on the left, pulling chains or levers on left to hold a snapping gator or drain a pool on the right... and so on.

The game shines in the two player co-op mode, but it will have you shouting at your partner for leaving you in the lurch. Theres a time limit and you keep this at bay by collecting clocks, there are also time penalties for bumping into dangerous things or falling down a hole/into water. So it all has to be fast furious and well timed by
both partners. My Missus likes it, but the level of frustration gets so high we can end up in a slanging match, each blaming the other.

So its a pissed up party game, I'd have said, rather than a long play winner.

Not sure its worth the cash even now. We have only played it for a couple of hours. And the Missus isn't screaming for more punishment.
