A fun, low stress game
Platforming games are fun, but can be stressful when obscenely difficult portions are thrown in as if out of nowhere. Kim Possible: What's the Switch? provides us with an enjoyable break from excessively difficult platformers. The game is fairly easy, making it ideal for younger gamers, unlike the Kim Possible GBA games, which could get too difficult at times.
It is not 2D, as some reviews say, but it is a sidescroller. This means that you can move forward, backward, up, and down. As such, it can be said that in Kim Possible: What's the Switch? you explore a 2D world from a 3D perspective. That is to say that the graphics are 3D while your movement through the game is linear. This is not a bad thing, for it simplifies the game. 3D platformers consistently suffer from imprecise controls that give them steep learning curves and make them undesirable for younger audiences. Kim Possible: What's the Switch? sticks with a sidescrolling perspective and keeps the controls simple. It's easy to pick up and play. The hardest part was switching between gadgets on the fly to cope with new threats, and that was never even all that difficult.
The controls were tight and intuitive, with the exception of the Rufus mini-levels, where you control Kim's naked mole rat companion in his adventures through air ducts and other small tunnels. Rufus's controls will take some practice to master. Kim and Shego, on the other hand, are easy to use and are far more prevalent than Rufus.
Some gamers might complain that there are no true boss battles in the game, aside from a brief fracas with Shego and a helicopter. This is simply because this game is a platformer, not an action game, and the focus is more on platforming than on fighting. Because of this, the final challenges in the game feature platforming elements in favor of a fight with a giant boss.
But there is plenty of action regardless. The combat system is simple and easy to understand, though it can still be difficult to master the timing of the handspring dodges. There are a number of varied foes that require subtle changes in strategy to defeat.
The graphics are cell shaded, meaning they tend to look like a cartoon, which fits with the style of Kim Possible. Cell shading is a beautiful way to render graphics, though it has found varying degrees of success in the gaming industry. Some levels are more beautiful than others, but all feel as if they belong in the cartoon world of Kim Possible. The Tokyo level is an excellent recreation of the toy parade in the opening scene of the Kim Possible movie, "So the Drama". The character models look good from far away, but during the cutscenes they are kind of ugly. They get the job done, though, and the cutscenes are never very long. Also, if you don't like the costumes of your characters, you can always change them by unlocking hidden outfits.
In short, Kim Possible: What's the Switch? is a fun game. It's fairly cheap, as far as games go, and won't stress you out with excessively difficult sections. At times, it might seem too easy, but for those of us who want a greater challenge, there are many secret items that are difficult to unlock. This is a great game for kids who are fans of the series, but can also be enjoyed by older audiences.
Great for fans
Kim Possible: What's the Switch is a great game to play if you're a fan of the show. (I am a fan so I'm giving it 4 stars.) If you're not a fan, you'll think it's so-so compared to most other games the PS2 offers. I have a couple of negative comments: the graphics aren't all the great and it is rather two dimensional. It's also annoying that the game has no manual save feature, so when the game is over you have to start over at the beginning of the level you last played. On the plus side, the controls are smooth and user friendly, the story is solid and the game keeps you glued to the action as you go back and forth quickly between playing Kim, Shego and Rufus. The cutaways are fun to watch too.
Good game
This game is good for ages 7-12 and just started playing video games. Quite challenging. Good for rainy days and when there is no one to play with.
