I was considering getting Bonk's Adventure, but I watched it on Youtube and it looks like a very average game...

Mendez, you must stop looking at games on YouTube and making your mind up about them. The first two Bonks are really well-designed games, tremendous fun to play and so far possibly my most surprising downloads yet (I'd never played them before the VC). The levels, in the first one particularly, are a bit too long, but it's an easily forgivable flaw.

Practically been doing nothing but playing Bonk's Adventure the last few days. Had a few highly amusing goes at Revenge as well, but I'l wait until I've finished with Adventure until I immerse myself in that. It really is a flagship franchise for the TG and deserves the plaudits heaped on it.

By the by, Hudson released a remake of the first game for the GC in Japan a few years ago, shortening the levels slightly and polishing the graphics considerably, but keeping it essentially intact. Might hunt down a copy of that soon.

I normally use Youtube to help me decide..
It sounds good though, I'll think about downloading it after my final exam on Monday!

I love the Bonk games. Bonk's Revenge is the better of the two out now and its be said here many times that Revenge is the best Bonk game in the series.

Should I buy Revenge first then? I'm easily dissapointed so getting the best one first might be better..

I have both of them. I liked them back when I first downloaded them, but the games are really, really slow and clunky. I regret downloading them.
