Brave: The Search For Spirit Dancer Review - IGN

By A Mystery Man Writer

In a noble quest, Brave: The Search for Spirit Dancer, tries to bring the platformer genre alive for again for young kids, but it doesn't quite go all the way. While other platformers such as Jak and Daxter have realized that much more than jumping around is needed to be fun, Brave starts out with good intentions and then falls flat halfway through. It relies way too heavily on jumping around and little else. There are a few parts of the game that you almost want to love, but the overall feeling is definitely one of indifference.
