\"\"<\/a>What if aliens from another planet watched Earth\u2019s sporting events and wanted to try them for themselves.\u00a0 Would they get the sports right?\u00a0 Maybe, but maybe not.\u00a0 Drink More Glurp is a physics-based track and field style sports multiplayer game with goofy product sponsors and even sillier events.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on Switch and PC but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

The alien athletes you control only have two limbs that look like arms, but they really act more like legs.\u00a0 Rotate the analog sticks on the JoyCon controllers to \u2018run.\u2019\u00a0 If you hold both sticks up, the alien will hold its limbs up as well.\u00a0 Then quickly press down on both and the alien will do the same and this is how you jump.\u00a0 Hold the shoulder button to grab onto objects and release to let them go.\u00a0 You\u2019ll compete in all types of sporting events from straight up marathons to hurdle jumping, obstacle courses, distance throwing, and much more.\u00a0 Sometimes events will have a silly alien product sponsor, which will create some kind of random happening for that challenge.\u00a0 Although I really didn\u2019t notice much difference when I played.<\/p>\n

There are two main modes of play.\u00a0 The tournament option is the multiplayer mode where you can choose to play a certain number of events in a row and whoever has the most points at the end, wins.\u00a0 For single players, you can try challenges where you must complete certain events in a given time.\u00a0 Do well enough here and you can unlock accessories for your aliens to wear.<\/p>\n

The main problem I had with this game were the controls.\u00a0 I know these kinds of games are supposed to have awkward controls, but I just could never get the hang of things like picking up objects and throwing them.\u00a0 Plus I\u2019m just not a big fan of games where they make things harder by messing with the controls.\u00a0 I guess I just don\u2019t \u2018get it.\u2019\u00a0 Also, constantly rotating your analog sticks sounds like it could really wear out your JoyCons quickly.\u00a0 And some of the events were a bit unclear as to what you\u2019re supposed to do.\u00a0 I guess if you have a bunch of friends over to play this and don\u2019t mind not doing well in the game, it\u2019s all right.\u00a0 But otherwise it just didn\u2019t grab me.<\/p>\n

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

Drink More Glurp is rated E-10 with ESRB descriptors of Crude Humor and Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 There are explosive bomb balls that can knock you back, but that\u2019s about as violent as it gets.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful but not necessary to play, however, younger gamers may get frustrated at the controls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
