I don’t know a lot of games that take the “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” concept and transform it into video game form, but Harley’s Humongous Adventure certainly fits the bill.
I first heard about this game in Nintendo Power magazine, but don’t know much else about it. Mr. Saturn presents a review for our reading pleasure.

I should state that a lot of the first paragraph is based on me buying ($2.68 on Amazon) the game in January and there wasn’t a Gamefaqs faq up at that time. Still isn’t.

Great review, Saturn. Snagging games for cheaps and playing them through can be a thrilling experience, even if the game rates out as average. I got NCAA Basketball for only a couple bucks at the local used media store, but it was fun enough to make me want to begin writing reviews for this site.
Just a week ago I snagged 8 SNES games from the same place for under $9 total. How inspiring!

I’ve found FAQs to be helpful in writing reviews. Has anyone ever written a FAQ themselves?
Perhaps down the line (way into the future?) when many games have been reviewed twice for this site, there can be a FAQ section where people can write FAQs.

As to Masa’s reference to “Honey I Shrunk the Kids”-like games, how may can we name?
I can think of:
*Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes (for N64 and later)
*Micro Machines (SNES)
*A Bug’s Life (N64)

*Toy Story (SNES & N64)
And let’s not forget…
*Mario 64

What can y’all think of?

Yeah it is an interesting game in that it falls into that area of being quite solid but not really doing anything spectacular. So while it isn’t a bad game that would be fun to totally rip on, it isn’t a good enough a game to be considered a hidden gem or get a glowing review. It isn’t like say, Bubsy, which is a far more memorable game but a lot worse as well. Bubsy just had more overall personality even if the game is not particularly good.
I’ve thought about writing a FAQ but man the effort it takes to write even a small one is fairly time consuming. And then I’m not even sure I’d be verbose enough to write one.
Finally I got some good small character, big world games for you:
Chibi Robo, Katamari Damacy and Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.

I haven’t written a FAQ before, although I did do a complete walkthrough of Adventures of Dr. Franken since there wasn’t any complete guides on the game on Youtube or GameFaqs.
A FAQ section could be a good idea if we can offer something different from what GameFaqs already has.
