What’s It About?
In PHINEAS AND FERB RIDE AGAIN, the titular brothers head off to build a super-powered skateboard and end up constructing a space-bound flying car that gets them embroiled in interstellar intrigue. All the while, they are hounded by big sister Candace, who is always ready to catch them doing something dangerous and drag them home to mom and dad. Fans of the show will be happy to know that the platypus super-spy, Agent P, is also a playable character.
Is It Any Good?
In terms of gameplay, Phineas and Ferb Ride Again is a pretty standard platformer -- not bad, certainly, but with nothing to shout about either. The game does a good job of capturing the fun-loving, slightly-subversive spirit of the show, though, so Phineas and Ferb fans are not likely to be disappointed. The mini-game in which Candace chases the boys through a Pac-Man-like maze is a great example of this. The weak graphics are definitely the game's low point, but die-hard fans of the show may not care too much about that.
Online interaction: The game allows access to Disney's online gaming community, DGamer -- a protected space for kids to share and safely communicate with other gamers.
