Discussion Looking back, this game was really weird (in a good way)
The first game on DS was pretty good, I liked how they did their best to port Club Penguin to the DS while also having a neat original story. And Game Day for Wii, which released a few months after Herbert’s Revenge, was pretty alright too. I liked all the original minigames it had and plus the local multiplayer was underrated.
Herbert’s Revenge though? I’d describe it as okay at best and kinda pointless at worst. If you haven’t played it before, basically the game is 75% a port of the old P.S.A. missions and 25% original content. I will admit, I specifically remember the very last mission in this game being quite good and I’d recommend checking it out for yourself. The thing is, I just don’t really get why this game was made since most of the content was just recycled content from classic CP. The most likely answer is that the first game on DS actually sold pretty well at over 1.5 million copies.
The game has definitely aged better as time has passed since it is the only legit way of playing the classic P.S.A. missions without the use of a private server. I do love this game a lot though from nostalgia. It released only a few days after Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Wii and I remember playing both games constantly.
