I had the most trouble with the unskippable arcade segments which are easily the games weakest points. At least Ace's encounters with them are few and far between. Outside of these are the dreaded slide and matching puzzles which I've never been fond of. They're mainly of the use-item-on-object variety, though you'll occasionally need to note down obvious passwords and clues on occasion. The puzzles are definitely on the simple side though no less enjoyable for it. And if they're not, they're short enough to move onto something else without much of an annoyance. Each click gets a quip of some kind that has a high hit-rate of being funny. Television show, with a lead that gets the insane vocal inflexions Jim Carrey gave to the character on the big screen. The visuals and voice cast are the same as the Warner Bros. It was entertaining, but overall I found the game to be far funnier.
While the look and chaotic nature is spot-on, the cartoon is definitely more family-friendly going by the single episode I viewed on YouTube. I hadn't ever seen the show before even though I remember enjoying the movies quite a bit two decades ago.
In 1997, they merged with Pulse Entertainment to create P7 Solutions - a corporate solutions company.Īfter playing Ace Venture to completion (which wasn't very hard), I wondered if the game was at all representative of the cartoon. Their initial manifesto was to create "interactive entertainment" such as the Monty Python games, and this would be the first and tragically only time a bonafide adventure game came from them. With the kind of off-kilter quality they put out, they are somewhat an underrated developer. I have played a fair few of their games by them, of which Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail - also reviewed on this very site - is perhaps my favourite after this. Most of the humour would go over the heads of anyone not yet in their double digits, but it's worth noting for any overprotective parents out there.ħth Level designed this game way back in 1996, a year after the second Ace Ventura movie starring Jim Carrey. There's an option to tone down the more adult humour in the options menu (it's on by default, but you can turn it off by entering the password 'Ventura'), but I doubt most discerning gamers would opt for this. That's not to say children won't be able to play this "T" rated game. Like those games, most areas of interest are clickable and often result in neat little animations, particularly in Ace's apartment. The game-play, on the other hand, is only a step more complex than what you'd find in any Humongous game or Animated Storybook.
