The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy wii cheats

I confess that I’m addicted to the Cartoon Network and the number of shows that range from the Friday evening lineup to the Adult Swim collection of mature-minded programming. While there are a few favorites worth mentioning, it’s The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy that stands out as one of the most insanely twisted and fun shows. The emphasis here is “twisted” and if you do happen to catch an episode you’ll know exactly what I mean. Then again, it’s the twisted humor that made this show a hit. So you can see that it wasn’t a surprise when a game was announced. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy has arrived just in time for the new Nintendo Wii for a party game for the next-generation.

The show’s premise revolves around two kids named Billy and Mandy who meet the Grim Reaper who arrived to take their beloved pet from them. In a game of chance, both kids are able to best Grim and, as a twist of fate, he agrees to stay on Earth as their best friend. The game’s story is simple: Grim’s mystical chest has been raided and the Mojo Balls inside have been scattered around the world and thus causing chaos everywhere. It’s up to Billy, Mandy, Grim, their friend Irwin to track down the thief and get back the Mojo Balls that are causing fights to erupt everywhere.
That’s right; this is a brawler with each level turning into a battle arena. You can pick from Mandy, Grim or Billy and oftentimes you’ll be teaming up with them as well as other characters you encounter along the way. Some fights are one-on-one and escalate to major battles that have you not only fighting off the single opponent but a number of secondary creatures. For example, in one battles you’ll be taking on a single opponent in a pumpkin patch while also fighting off living pumpkin creatures the Mojo Balls brought to life.
Really, this is all there is to the game and it‘s main Story Mode. You’ll face off in an arena, often fighting your way through multiple environments during a single battle. Interesting enough you can play the game using the GameCube controller but then again why have the same old steak when you can have prime rib? The Wii remote is used in a somewhat creative way when it comes to finally knocking out your enemy. You can slash away at your enemy by swinging the remote while moving your controller via the nunchuk attachment’s controller stick. While this sounds complicated, it really isn’t and there’s no doubt even the youngest of gamers will enjoy swinging their remotes during a four-player multiplayer brawl.

The real challenge comes from pulling off a Moo Meltdown move. When you manage to stun your opponent, you have the chance to defeat them by pulling off a devastating move. The screen suddenly flashes and an icon appears on the screen but you have to drag a pointer across to the screen to match the icon. You’ll have to do it quickly or your enemy counters your attempt There are also various weapons you can pick up and use throughout the game like swords or clubs.
Then there’s Mission Mode, a game mode that is made up of a series of missions you can play solo or cooperatively with other players. Basically, the mode contains a few mission objectives that have you attempting to beat the clock like smashing items or taking out secondary enemies. It’s really a great way of unlocking extras such as extra characters you can use in the single-player Story Mode. And, of course, there is Vs Mode where you can play against up to four players
The game also uses cel shading to capture the feel of the show and, for the most part, it succeeds in bringing the characters to life. Then again, the whole cel-shading thing doesn’t mask the fact that this game looks like a current-generation GameCube title. The despite the fact that the Wii isn’t known for its graphics capabilities, it does manage to upstage the Cube when it comes to the graphics. Still, the game’s backgrounds look pretty decent and so does the visual effects.

As for the game’s sound, the music and voice acting is as just as loony as the show. This is great, especially if you’re a fan of the show. Even the dialogue and the jokes feel like they come right out of an episode of the show. Since this is a brawler, there’s an arena announcer that is actually really nutty since it’s handled by “Weird” Al. Then there’s the sound effects that have that cartoon-like quality.
If you’re a fan of The Adventures of Billy and Mandy there are a few things to like about this game but then again it’s way too repetitive. This is too bad since the game is actually pretty fun and the Wii controls fit the game perfectly, but by the fourth battle you’ll wish there was more to the game to the point that most gamers won’t want to see this game through to the end. Still, if you plan to use it as a party game to share with a group of friends it does do multiplayer right. If you’re a big fan of the show or love zany arena-styled cartoon brawlers then you might want to consider renting this before buying it.
Review Scoring Details for The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
Gameplay: 6.6
It’s a brawling game with very little style or substance but at least the Wii remote controls are responsive and not bad at all. There are also enough characters to pick and use in the game and the single-player game retains the show’s crazy and funny vibe. I just wish there was more to this brawler.
Graphics: 7.0
The cel-shaded graphics don’t look very next-gen and would feel right at home on the GameCube. Still, the characters resemble those on the show during cutscenes as well as during the action and the arena backgrounds are easy on the eyes.
Sound: 7.0
The voices from the show are all here and even the sound effects feel like they belong on the show. To add to the zaniness “Weird” Al Yankovic is the brawling arena announcer. The music is also pretty decent but nothing special.
Difficulty: Easy/Medium
Some of the older gamers will find the single-player mode a little too easy for their own liking but younger gamers will find plenty of challenges in the arena especially later in the game. Then again, no matter how old you are it’s still pretty challenging to successfully pull off a Mojo Meltdown move.
Concept: 7.0
Anyone who has seen the Cartoon Network show will love the fact that the characters are just as zany and the joy of controlling them might just appeal to the younger fans. You’ll wish there were more inventive uses for the Wii remote but what is here is good. Oh, and there are dozens of goodies to unlock like movie trailers and character art.
Multiplayer: 7.0
It’s all about the multiplayer fun and having up to four friends fighting it out in the arena is what it’s all about. It’s just too bad that the annoyingly bad camera will frustrate gamers to no end. Still, the multiplayer game runs at a steady framerate even with all the smashing and bashing going on at once.
Overall: 6.9
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy for the Wii is actually very fun but if you’re looking for a game with substance or neat Wii tricks, you’re in for a big disappointment. Still, if you’re a fan of the Cartoon Network show or like your brawling games extremely wacky then you might want to spend an entire weekend with this one.

cheats will be added soon
