Noby Noby Boy was released on the PS3 marketplace and I have to say I was skeptical of it showing me any type of enjoyment. The level design as far as I could tell was randomly generated, and there didn't look to be any GOAL, but the opposite was true, and so I think I'll let Noby Noby Boy eat up my sick day from school.

The Gameplay is quite intriguing, but I found myself not controlling the butt as much as the head. Why, you may ask? because you eat things with the head. The only real thing you need control of the butt for is maybe wrapping yourself around things and shooting the things you ate out your butt. Let me say straight up that Noby Noby Boy is a game in the sense that doing the laundry is. But also, you have to realize that this game should be categorized not as any hardcore game, and when I took all seriousness away from it, it was quite hilarious and had a cutesy charm to it that I found irresistible, multiplied by the fact that I didn't spend that much money on it. This game is most hilarious at the moments when you realize you're eating human beings for the first time, then also realize how little you care. It's oddly entertaining in that sense and there's a lot of fun to be had in shooting people into the clouds and seeing them falling off of the polygonal landscape.

Much of the sound has an artsy background music that just makes your frustration over the controls even greater, and this is also because I found the actual theme music and I would've enjoyed listening to that more than the airy crap that filled the air. Although all of this hardship, I have that sensation of being slightly smarter than the developers because he could have sold this for much more and I still would've bought it. I'm being serious, you could do a LOT worse and the promise of new objects to toy around with and have them push through your digestive system is just too enlightening to pass up.

Anyway, as the story is concerned, there isn't much of one, but that draws even more enjoyability out of it especially if you're like me and like having pure, mindless fun.
I recommend this game, to anyone, but please realize that this isn't a huge release and you'd have more fun with Fallout 3.

5 bucks is this "games" saving grace. The graphics and presentation are meh...(art design is good though) There isn't much content (2 randomly generated small levels and only one game mode) and the game doesn't really engage you much due mostly to the fact that there are no "goals"

But, there are a couple of really neat ideas about global cooperative gameplay, and luckily 5 bucks is just what i'm wiling to pay for a couple of neat ideas. It's also fresh; I can guarantee you haven't played anything like it before.
