What can I say about this game? Well, for starters it brings me some nice memories, thats a fact, and that will for sure influence my rating. Another thingy is that I never had any instructions for it and I didnt know exactly what to do, even though the task is quite simple really (ok, ok, I admit, I was a dumb kid).
Also after long years (decades, ouch!) I finally finished this kids game, meaning I didnt get smarter over time (some things never change...).
Overall I cant help smiling each time I load this game up. Every character has tons of personality not only in the TV show but also here where they are all well represented. Lots of colour all around, some nice sites and a sweet job to do: catch all the sugar cubes and place them together to form a house.
Cant complain much about the game, besides the simplicity of its goal. But all in all, its an entertaining "sweet" game for kids and grown-ups who still feel like kids.

3,5 points
