...just don't expect them to be any good.

Can you believe people paid good money for games like that? And they say Muppet Babies solidified the Muppets place as "children's entertainment." Nothing like a bunch of dull mini-games in the loosest sense of the word game there is with the Muppets pasted on.

By contrast, there's a Garfield game called "Double Dare" where you just play the same 2 word games for 5 rounds (a rhyming game and a "how many words can you make out of a selection of letter" one). It's just as simplistic, but at least when you get a wrong answer Garfield sasses you. So at least it's written as a Garfield product.

The Muppets games don't make full use of the Muppet characters. One barely makes a connection by having it take place at the Muppet Theater, the other just by pasting characters into it.
