![]() ![]() The difficulty can be easy, medium or difficult. It has the mini game of creating your own car and in this case it has much more variety (Not like in Sugar Rush Speedway, which only had 3 options of wheels, car shape and sweets) You can even select the super power of your car It has several circuits that appear in the film (Example: The circuit of the bubblegum balls or the circuit of the pink cookies, that circuit is inside the mountain of coca cola where Vanellope lives) The game includes Vanellope (And that's great, since in Sugar Rush Speedway she doesn't appear) and they also include the other main rushers that we see in the first movie (Taffyta, Candlehead, Rancis and Adorabeezle) Tired: Not a lot of text old-school videogame characters are noticeably absent.ĭisclosure: GeekDad received promo codes for the apps and a review copy of the book.After several days, I will finally upload the blog of positive and negative things of Wreck-it Ralph Storybook (The game that includes the book of the first movie and the game of Sugar Rush) in this blog I will only focus on the game of Sugar Rush and not in the movie book. Wired: 150+ pages of stunning visuals from a fantastic movie. Since it does give away some key plot points I'd recommend saving it until after a viewing, but it's certainly a treat. The Art of Wreck-It Ralph is a nice hardcover coffee table book, and would make an excellent gift for any fan of the movie. In a movie that plays so much to our videogame nostalgia, this does seem like a bit of an oversight, though the book is largely about the visuals and tends to let the images tell the story rather than using a lot of text. Aside from a two-page spread about Pac-Man (which includes the bad guys in the Bad-Anon meeting) and another about Tapper's, there isn't much about all our other beloved videogame characters that make cameos in the film. The one thing I didn't get enough of was a section about other videogame characters. ![]() I do wish this section had been a little bit longer with some more details, but it's fun nonetheless. The Sugar Rush chapter will have your mouth watering, particularly the photographs of Brittney Lee's models of the world made from actual candy and food.įinally, there's a section at the end called "Bonus Level: The Lost Characters" which talks about things that were cut from the movie (like a cover band called Arcade Fireballs). Maybe eventually somebody will take the concept and create an actual console game from it - we'll see. It's amazing how much went into the design of the world that didn't even make it into the movie. The section of paintings and designs for Hero's Duty looks like something out of Halo or Mass Effect, and it's clear where their inspiration came from. You also get a few pages of the Nicelanders, the Sugar Rush citizens and racers, and the humans in the "real world." And, of course, there are chapters devoted to the settings: Ralph's world, Grand Central Station, Hero's Duty, and Sugar Rush. You get a closer look at most of the main characters: Ralph, Fix-It Felix, Jr., Sergeant Calhoun, Vanellope Von Schweetz, King Candy. I love books of concept art, and this one is no exception. The book is a fantastic collection of character designs, setting designs, and storyboard art. Lee was one of the writers for the film, and Malone is Director of Development at Walt Disney Animation Studios. The 22-page comic is $1.99 on iTunes.įinally, if you just can't get enough of the look of Wreck-It Ralph, then you should definitely take a look at this book: The Art of Wreck-It Ralph, by Jennifer Lee and Maggie Malone. ![]() The "interactivity" is limited to panels that are animated as they appear - sort of a partial motion comic. I should note that there is some PG language in it (and, of course, giant robotic bugs and lots of gunfire). The comic is done as a straight sci-fi adventure without reference to it being inside a videogame. Brad Scott, the guy in Calhoun's flashbacks. The comic shows her first encounter with the bugs, and also goes into their origins - and, of course, we get to meet Dr. The Hero's Duty Interactive Comic is a prequel of sorts, telling the backstory behind Sergeant Calhoun and the cy-bugs. I haven't been able to figure out how to delete any of the karts my kids have made, but so far that's not much of an issue. Also fun is the bake-your-own kart feature, which lets you pick a chassis, wheels, spoiler, and then decorate it with icing and sprinkles. (Yes, Vanellope has a glitch.) The third racetrack includes portions of the track from the movie, with the gumball canyon and swirling layered cake, although you don't race against King Candy in the game. As racing games go, it's not fantastic - the tilt controls are pretty mushy - but you do get to play as a few of the prominent racers in the movie (Vanellope, Candlehead, Taffyta, and so on), each with their own power-ups. The Sugar Rush racing game has been my kids' favorite lately. ![]()
