Phoenix Games

[Timmo]

They've been mentioned in the cheap Wii games thread, but heck they deserve their own thread.

First of all, the genuinely unmissable and completely hilarious Animal Soccer World, which got more laughs from me than an episode of I'm Alan Partridge. It's basically a PS2 "game", which is actually a half hour animation. Part 1 and 2 on youtube are great but a little slow, at least in comparision to Part 3, which is 10 minutes of utter brilliance and no one on this forum is allowed to not watch it.

Dalmations 3 has all the same characters, isn't as good, but contains greatness in bits still.

"One of these days I'll beat him up so bad that he doesn't know who he is."

"Oh yeah! I'll help you!"

The games are great, too.

The Animal Soccer World videos are just mindboggling; awfulness of biblical proportions - I can't think of anything I've ever seen that's worse by conventional standards. Hilarious mind, part four is amazing too - I THE LION KING

Wow. The voice acting sounds like it's done by some Dutch second grade dropouts.

-edit- Ah, they ARE Dutch. Oh, the shame.

They're even pretty close to where I live. Maybe I should go work there and boost the level of their games.

Burn the building down, that should do it.

I really really want to buy Animal Soccer World, but I can't find it on sale for under £2 which is about my limit for it

[Timmo]

I'm going to buy it and make my friends watch it all together. I was in tears at some parts.

London Cab Challenge

That's quite a draw distance they've managed to eke out of the PS2 there. It's just like being in London.

[Timmo]

Tedious satirical post about the increasing smog in London making you not, in fact, that far off.

[JPickford]

I know the owner of this company (Paul Share) and he's basically a genius.

He's Boycey (from Only Fools and Horses) except he's actually good at what he does and speaks amazing Dutch in a Cockeny accent.

I love that line: "The baddest decision in soccer aaaall tiiiiime!"

Animal Soccer World is the greatest thing ever. 20 years from now we will consider it a groundbreaking classic.

Oh my, Peter Pan is pretty good: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=JsV5ymHCNww&...feature=related Highlights: The sinister dancing of the horribly drawn nightmarish rip offs of the Disney versions of the characters! And the amazing see through rocking horse. Nowhere near as hilarious as Animal Soccer, though.

if the nintendo seal of quality , or "nintendo seal" as it's now known, needed any more proof of it being utterly meaningless, this is it..

fuck-ing hell - its the video game equivalent of a chinese knock off toy from a pound shop

[Salsa Party Animal]

When I read this I thought it is new Animal Crossing game.

[Qazimod]

They featured quite a bit in the Comedy Box Shots thread, if I recall. Watching those YouTube videos just now - the first time I've seen the games in motion - they do look kind of entertaining, in a "dodgy budget game's mediocrity causes unintentional comedy" kind of way...

Phoenix Games are Gods amongst men.

[the_buddha_of_gaming]

Do these things actually make any money?

[mmcg]

Lols at London Cab Challenge. Cars and buildings not appearing until they're right in front of you ftw.

The physics are laughingly bad as well.

[Willei]

Dalmations 3? The only logical explanation is that Phoenix were expecting people to buy it hoping one day to see Dalmations 1 and Dalmations 2.

[Joyrex-J9]

Genuine LOL at the Extreme Sprint 3010.

Amaze.

[Big Gus]

Jesus, what are EA thinking about releasing skate when Skateboard Extreme looks so fresh!

[Unofficial Who]

I couldn't watch the Animal Football World one right through as it was disturbing me how the 'actor' seemed to lose faith in his ability and the world in general midway through each sentence.

[Super Lurker]

"White Van Racer" LOL http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=ESdfHe81p-k&NR=1

[DonRumsfeld]

"White Van Racer" looks amazing, the way you can't see the road in front of you due to your massive van. Maniac Mole looks cool too, but the winner surely has to be London Cab Challenge, i'm tempted.

All of those cartoons are actually made by a company called Dingo Pictures. Phoenix just licensed them from them.

Think you can get them on DVD too.

Everybody is busy with the preparations for the event of the year, the largest soccer game of all time! The favoured team of the "Wild Dogs " assumed the challenge of equally favoured "Lionkings".

The coach of the "Wild Dogs " spends sleepless nights. Does Bulli his left defender never learns not to beat up his opponent- or Butcher, the-Keeper, never loose his fear of a penalty kick? Also in the opposing team there are problems. The best forward of the "Lionkings", the small lion, never wants to pass the ball. And to make things even worse, a swarm of Hooligeese is reported to be on the way....

Finally the time has come. The match is about to begin.

[Max M]

The Animal Soccer videos are incredible. Can't believe the Lion's King's in it... How the mighty have fallen.

my god, is there no start to their talent?? i've seen 12 year olds draw better.

[Guest]

That is genuinley disturbing.

[deerokus]

Haha, that's classic. I like The way the CPU car at the start flips and spins down the road after being blocked off at 2 mph

Bloody hell, the description from that site doesn't sound half suss.

In the children's room the toys are sitting depressed in the corner. The boy has got a new toy for birthday. And now he disregards his old toys completely.

Pino, the old favourite doll, is despaired, because instead of him the "new one " may join the little boy in bed.

Wrong in so many ways.
