\"\"<\/a>Boy they\u2019ll make a game out of anything nowadays!\u00a0 There are games where you\u2019re a cook, a lawyer, and now you can play one where you park cars!\u00a0 Valet parking, more specifically.\u00a0 Very Very Valet is a madcap multiplayer game where you must drive and park cars, and then deliver them back as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll start by picking your character.\u00a0 Each one looks like it came straight from Fraggle Rock or a Dr. Seuss book.\u00a0 As a fan of both those things, I thought that was pretty great.\u00a0 Up to four can play at the same time.\u00a0 Then you\u2019ll be in a parking arena where you can walk around, get in cars and drive them around, and jump out of them.\u00a0 The object of the game is to pick up cars when the drivers reach an area.\u00a0 Then you must park them somewhere.\u00a0 They usually provide a parking lot for you, but you are free to put the cars wherever you want, really.\u00a0 Then later, the car drivers will arrive at another spot for you to drive their car to them.\u00a0 If you take too long picking up a car or dropping them off, an offscreen UFO will abduct that car and you\u2019ll lose the chance to score from it.\u00a0 You can tell if you take too long because each car has a meter by it that tells you how long they can wait.\u00a0 Finish parking and delivering all the cars to complete a level.<\/p>\n

Even though each area has a provided parking lot, you don\u2019t HAVE to park the cars there.\u00a0 You can put them anywhere, but you may run the risk of having too many to deal with in small spaces if you\u2019re not careful.\u00a0 The owners of the cars don\u2019t seem to mind how you drive them either.\u00a0 Smash them into other cars, park them haphazardly, go up wrong way roads, and jump them off of buildings.\u00a0 Whatever it takes to get them to the drivers on time.\u00a0 You can earn up to three stars per level.\u00a0 If you take too long picking up a car or getting it back to the driver, you\u2019ll miss a chance at getting a star.\u00a0 You can still complete the level even if you miss three times, you just won\u2019t get any stars.\u00a0 There are also bonus stages where you do things like drive cars to knock down bowling pins and such.<\/p>\n

The game does have a few problems, however.\u00a0 Each car you drive controls a little differently, and while I\u2019m not a big fan of games that mess with the controls to dictate the difficulty, here it just feels like part of the game.\u00a0 They do the best they can to let you know which cars to pick up, by color coding them with the drivers, putting a numbered flag over each one, and making them glow.\u00a0 But when things get hectic, it can still be hard to know which car to use, especially if you are playing on the Switch\u2019s small screen in handheld mode.\u00a0 And finally, this game is nigh impossible to get all the stars in the levels as a single player.\u00a0 And considering you can\u2019t play for long without using stars to unlock new levels, you won\u2019t see much until you have a bunch of friends or family over to play it.\u00a0 I\u2019d say only get this game if you enjoy crazy multiplayer titles like Overcooked and have a bunch of people around to play it with you.<\/p>\n

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

You can crash cars, jump out of them at full speed, and smack your head against a wall.\u00a0 But everyone acts like a plush toy flopping around, so violence is pretty minimal.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, and younger gamers may need help with the more difficult levels.\u00a0 Very Very Valet is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
