How Metascores Are Calculated
|
In this cartoon adventure, yet another experiment by Sega for the Dreamcast, match the brains of Hoigle, the smaller/smarter brother, and the brawn of his larger brother Moigle to prevent (through a series of puzzles and games) the greedy Baron Malodorous from taking over the family junkyard.

A breath of fresh air.

For what it is, FB is a fantastic experiment and experience and hopefully, unlike some cartoons, we'll see more episodes of the zany duo that will hopefully last a bit longer.

GamePro
The puzzles can be especially frustrating and there isn’t a whole lot of action, but cerebral brainteasers and humorous interaction between the brothers makes the gameplay refreshing and fun.

Electric Playground
Part puzzler, all prankster, it's a unique, silly puzzler with a few glaring errors, but lots of heart.

Total Video Games
The problem is though that once you start getting into it, the game is over. A typical gamer would probably have this licked within 2hrs, and unless you’re a huge virtual pet fan there’s not a lot to go back and see.

Planet Dreamcast
Sets a standard for AI programming, and it's a good game... if you like raising and training virual pets... Don't be surprised if you complete the game in one sitting.

Impressive for its visual and audio style, these Brothers need more help in the gameplay department if they hope to become a franchise.

GameSpot
There are hints of inspiration throughout, with the game sporting some good-looking visuals, a catchy soundtrack, and a distinct sense of style. But the game's length, uneven gameplay, and atrocious camera negate these virtues.

Games Domain
The game's quite short, its technical flaws leave a lot to be desired and although funny with some great puzzles, it just isn't enough to keep the game standing upright against this winter's batch of great releases.
42
Game Revolution
A decent rental that just might give your 7 year old sibling something to do for a few hours.

Electronic Gaming Monthly
We’re talking gameplay that swings wildly from being overly simplistic (with brain teasers that couldn’t tease a 1-year-old) to being frustratingly directionless and unintuitive. [Sept 2001, p.145]
