Любопытный Джордж: Видеоигра 2006 года

2006 platform video game
Curious George is a 2006 platform game published by Namco, and developed by Monkey Bar Games, a division of Vicious Cycle Software. It was released for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Microsoft Windows, and is based on the 2006 film of the same name. A separate 2D version was developed for the Game Boy Advance (GBA) by Torus Games.

Curious George is a platform game where the player controls George, a monkey who can jump, swing and slide around different environments. The game features 13 linear levels, which closely follow the plot of the film; each level also features cutscenes taken from the film. The levels also feature a series of highlighted objects, which award the player "curious points" for interacting with them. The game features four minigames, three of which are fairly similar, requiring the player to press a button at the correct time. Demos of the console version were revealed at a Namco press event shortly after the game's announcement, which showed an early version of the museum level. Much of the content described by reviewers made it into the final game. At the time, Namco wanted Will Ferrell to reprise his role as Ted from the film, but this did not come to fruition. The game was released on February 1, 2006, nine days before the release of the film. Its release in PAL regions was scheduled for October 2006, after Electronic Arts reached an agreement with Namco to publish the game in the regions.

The game received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms according to video game review aggregator Metacritic, with the GBA version getting the most praise. While the levels were designed to be simple, critics felt the gameplay issues made parts of the game too complex for young children, the game's target audience. The platforming gameplay was otherwise described as lacking depth. A review for Gamespot described the level design as "extremely linear" and without "measure of exploration", and the interactive objects were described by Eurogamer as "a nice idea" but "pointless" due to their repetitiveness. The minigames received mixed reviews from reviewers; IGN called them a "much needed break" from the main game, while others found them too repetitive. Eurogamer characterized the final balloon minigame as "a staggering EIGHTEEN rounds of lethargic bemani action".
