Yet another reason I'm thankful I'm not obsessed with G5 like I used to be is that I absolutely would've spent $40 on this game had I been, 'cause Maretime Bay Adventure was unironically good and one of the FEW G5 things I think is good all the way through. I also would've expected nothing other than greatness from this sequel, especially since a mystery plot, getting to play as other characters, and Misty's addition sound like great ideas. Sucks to hear it's yet another G5 dissappointment to add to the pile. I'm baffled the game looks as bad as it does. Was it made while they were making Make Your Mark? Did that cut out a lot of its budget? If they do a threequel I can't imagine it looking cheaper, 'cause all G5 has going on right now is Tell Your Tale and that show is supposed to be cheap.

"What's with the obsession with pumpkins?" That line killed me

[@TrickySpirit]

"And hitching." Ha ha I see what you did there.

[@Jay_76]

I don't suppose anyone at Drakhar Studios, or Outright Games bothered to ask why Zipp and Pipp, both of whom are pegasi, need to create cloud platforms when they can fly? Why not give them a double jump/glide ability instead? Give Misty the power to create rainbows to be used as bridges as well as make people happy. Give Hitch the ability to talk to animals, like rabbits for example, to go through tight spaces and open passages. And these are things I thought of in just the 5 minutes I was watching this video. Thank you, Addy, and your co-op partner, for tolerating Zephyr Heights Mystery long enough to do a comprehensive review.

Looks like developers just winged it seeing that MYM was already cancelled

As an adult gamer, It's shameful that society thinks kids deserve bad quality media, and video games today. As an early 2000s kid, we had buttloads of cool, exciting, and meaningful video games, tv shows, and media etc that I still go back to today. Also While Maritime Bay is decent I don't think either of these games validate a $40 price tag at all. $20 or less is more fair tbh.

[@yuuichimakoto]

Yeah, i bought many cartoons games for ps4, yet there are mostly low quality! it's so annoying! some has bad graphics, some has glitches, and they are so short! i won't say all of the games in 90s and 00s are good or bad, but we have a lot of it! and some games are so good! now we have less, and it's mostly bad.

[@RainbowDash-TheVIllain]

I missed the late 1990s to 2000s. Good times..

[@RainbowDash-TheVIllain]

​​@@yuuichimakoto Hi there! Yeah. There are rarely amazing games out there.. Good thing that Brandon My good friend got this Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 on Nintendo Switch. It is actually amazing! It was made back in 2004 and This brings him memories.. So yeah. He actually loves it! I tried it. It is kinda hard to do controls at 1st. But when you get used to it.. It is fun! So yeah. Also, Scootaloo loves to watch him play also. Lol!!

[@yuuichimakoto]

@@RainbowDash-TheVIllain I think i know this game, i have it on my wishlist on steam (or the new remake?) but we where talking about cartoon/show games. Other games where kinda good, i remember i have zoo tycoon as a kid, and few more games i still looking for until now.

[@RainbowDash-TheVIllain]

@@yuuichimakoto Oh Ok. Hi there.

[@LawtonCash]

I want to add that on top of the issues you stated with the game, apparently AZHM is based on TYT’s most hated episode: Sparky’s Sick. It’s basically an expansion of that episode while removing all the fart jokes and crud that made it hated. Where AMBA was a sequel to the movie and gave Sprout proper closure, AZHM plays it too safe and is just an expansion of an already existing short from TYT that many people hated. The only good part of this game is the multiple playable characters, and they wasted that by making a sequel that’s inferior to its predecessor.

[@Ancientship]

This game definitely had less of a budget than the first

[@speedforcespector]

The moment I saw the outfits weren't in cutscenes I noticed the odd downgrade

[@MLPFan2024]

Even though I personally enjoyed the game, I can still see how the budget has decreased significantly compared to AMBA. It just doesn’t feel the same or better than that. I know G5 has been on a decline in terms of the quality of not only the show but now the video games. Overall, even if I kinda expected a bit better, but I still liked it nonetheless.

[@norsebrony346]

This looks like it could have just been dlc

[@RainbowDash-TheVIllain]

You know.. I respect your choice and Option about the game Addy Lovestar. I wasn't going to get the game anyways. No Rainbow Dash.. Plus, I am not Interested in the game anyways. So Eh.. I will pass getting this game.. I perfer playing Minecraft of Rollercoaster Tycoon on Brandon's Nintendo switch than playing this.. Also, He is a good friend to me also. So yeah. Scootaloo loves to watch him playing that game though.. Lol!! But I will admit. He is pretty good and he actally loves it! Lol!! I tried it out and well.. The controls are kinda hard to do if your new to the game, but once you get the hang of it.. Yeah.. It is a really fun game!! But Yeah. I respect your choice and option about this game. I am not interested anyways. And again, No Rainbow Dash!

[@mikaylaakridge4635]

It agree when I first watched a playthrough of this game I also noticed a serious downgrade in quality compared to the first. You are absolutely right when you said they choose quantity over quality here. You thing think this being a follow up to a very good first game they would step it up but no it much worse to the point were they reused mini games, gave the character abilities that don’t define them and a story if you can call it that, a complete joke and afterthought. So no you are not wrong about expecting more from this Addy so did I as well. Great video friend.😊❤

[@renamon5658]

I have not got this game yet. But i want to leave a comment to help your channel

[@yuuichimakoto]

I'll buy for KZbin only, but when sale. It's not worth 39 dollars!

[@AdamLeisemann]

Well, I'm glad I didn't buy this one. I was hoping it'd be as good as the first one.

[@barcom5439]

I thought the first one wasnt very good. Sounds like this one is even worse somehow.

[@speedforcespector]

Lol Hitching

[@RainbowDash-TheVIllain]

Hi there.. spooky thing.. I am your 666 viewer. Yep.. I am the 666 viewer. What is wrong with me?

[@samuelkirkwood6702]

Good lord sounds horrific, glad saw this before thinking about purchasing. Big miss.

[@Sorax-bm4bg]

Hasbro is one of the worst and most awful entertainment companies ever. That company has no dignity. Only a company like Hasbro could decide to sell a videogame like that. So please, don't support that joke of a company. This guy did that, and look what he got: a bad videogame about MLP made without creativity and passion. He was disappointed, but Hasbro got some money from him.

[@turtletum]

This game was just ass.
