Activision strengthens its beefy lineup of Game Boy Advance games with
Pinobee: Wings of Adventure. Players control a robotic bee named Pinobee, who
buzzes, hovers and stings his way through nine large worlds in search of a
genius robotics engineer named Grandpa Bee.
Pinobee: Wings of Adventure takes full advantage of Game Boy Advance's 32-bit
color graphics. From Pinobee's fluid animation to the detailed environments he
explores, it's obvious that a lot of spit and polish has been applied to this
Pak.
Pinobee screenshots may lead you to believe that this is a standard action
platform game, but that is far from an accurate description. Pinobee can walk
along the ground or shimmy up walls, but his main means of locomotion is dashing
through the air. As he makes it deeper in his quest, Pinobee gains the ability
to dash farther and farther through the air. Soon enough, he's spending more
time hovering and dashing through the sky than on the ground. This unique play
control system gives Pinobee a fresh feel.
Each level is filled with secret items to find, which mix together to give
Pinobee special powers and abilities. Frequently, you'll have to backtrack to
previously explored levels to grab items which were out of reach when you first
passed by. Be sure to read Pinobee's diary at the conclusion of each level,
because he provides clues about what you may have missed along the way. Using a
Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable, you can trade items with a friend to build a
complete collection of power-ups.
Based on the various tasks you complete during each leg of Pinobee's mission,
you'll experience branching storylines and multiple endings. These factors add
an adventurous feel to the action, which is a welcomed addition to any action
game.
