\"BIGHERO6_BOX\"<\/a>Big Hero 6 is Disney\u2019s newest computer animated feature film, and it\u2019s like watching a rollicking two-hour long Saturday morning cartoon. Now you can continue the adventures of Hiro, Baymax, and the rest of the gang on the 3DS.\u00a0 This game isn\u2019t based directly on the film, but rather a continuation of it.\u00a0 Battle bots are wreaking havoc on San Fransokyo, and it\u2019s up to Hiro, Baymax, and their college friends to suit up and save the day once again in this 2-D action brawler platformer.<\/p>\n

In each level, you\u2019ll play as one of four characters, each with their own skills and abilities. Hiro can use electromagnetic beams to push and repel objects, as well as stick to certain surfaces.\u00a0 Wasabi uses plasma cutters to slice through robots with melee attacks.\u00a0 GoGo is super-fast with her roller wheels and disc projectiles.\u00a0 And Fred in his monster suit can breathe fire and jump really high.\u00a0 You\u2019d think that you\u2019d be able to play as Baymax, since he\u2019s the star of the movie, but not in this game.\u00a0 Baymax will fly in from time to time to help you fight, but that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

Another character you don\u2019t get to play as is Honey Lemon. But she provides support from behind the scenes.\u00a0 As you explore levels and defeat enemies, you can pick up bright pink chemical doo-dads.\u00a0 Collect enough and you can tap on one of Honey Lemon\u2019s capsules on the touch screen to help you out in battle, as they can stun or confuse any battle bot on screen.\u00a0 Other pickups to look out for are health refills and pieces to upgrade your health meter.\u00a0 Find hidden items like Hiro\u2019s cat in every level to unlock characters to view, and spell out HERO secret icons to unlock challenge stages, too.\u00a0 You can also enter in cheat codes in the options screen (hint: look for a handy code in the in-game instruction manual).<\/p>\n

The platforming isn\u2019t the best in the world, as it\u2019s hard to tell where bottomless pits and certain goals are. But at least you get unlimited tries and checkpoints are frequent.\u00a0 Also, Fred\u2019s attacks are pretty useless.\u00a0 Touch screen menus are also not as intuitive as they should be.\u00a0 But if you have a young Big Hero 6 fan who wants to continue the adventures, then they may enjoy this game anyway.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big Hero 6: Battle in the Bay is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Cartoon Violence. You can punch, kick, zap, and scorch bad guys, but they\u2019re all robots who just explode when defeated.\u00a0 If you\u2019re OK with your kids watching the movie, they\u2019ll be OK with this game, too.\u00a0 Reading skill is a must for the text, and younger gamers may get frustrated at the tougher levels and challenges.\u00a0 The movie is a lot of fun, though.\u00a0 Take your kids to see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
