Well the developer, Blitz Games, has develope games like Pac-Man World 3 and Bad Boys: Miami Takedown. So it is not like they got some nobody to make this game.

I have only had the chance to play SK, and it is a lot more fun than I expected (Mostly in just how wrong it is, I love the line about "The King doesn't get dizzy - he gets freaky!")

What is probably the best part is the commentary I am providing as I play; for example, whilst following a woman for a LONG time: "Shhhh...it's okay, honey. I'm right behind you, ready with my hot salty beef!"

Picked up all three today at my BK. (Bought 2 value meals, decided to pick up lunch for me and my mom while I was at it)

Sneak King is awesome, just because it is very very wrong. I love how when you go into first person mode, it shows the two holes of the plastic face and the sound is a very deep heavy breathing. Kinda like you're contemplating either serving them food or kidnapping them for raep.

Pocketbike is actually pretty good. The course design is cool and the Boost bar being the same as your weapons is an intriguing idea.

Havent played Bumpin yet.

I asked if they had the xbox games (they had signs everywhere) said yes, asked for a whopper and all 3, 17.02.

Someone asked how they play on xbox, ill try in a little since my 360 is still awaiting its coffin, and a bit tied up.

I went to two BKs today the first one said tomorrow and I said since I don't like BK that much I don't want any food. The 2nd one had the games am I bought Big Bumpin. It is very fun and I would recomend it to any one for $4. I'm going to buy the other two later this week.

schnuth
11-20-2006, 02:04 AM
I picked up all 3 today, and I didn't even have to buy any of the crappy food. I just walked in and asked for the games. The lady behind the counter didn't know how to ring them up and just sold them to me without having to get a value meal. Woo-hoo!

I've played Sneak King the most so far. Pocketbike Racer and Big Bumpin' were fun in 2-player with my wife this afternoon. They are not the best games ever, but they are fun diversions. For $4 a pop you can't go wrong.

Graystone
11-20-2006, 02:37 AM
Can't wait to get them. Am I alone in the thought that these will be bigger then anyone thought and BK's will sell out. Then they will be on ebay going for $40 a piece.

I was sorta close in my statement. All three are going for about $25-40 after shipping, and single games are going for about $10.

I have yet to get a chance to get any of them. I really don't want to eat shitty food to get them. So I hope they'll let me just buy them.

Do you have to get a "value meal" or can you just get anything and ask for a game with it; does it vary by store? I like BK onion rings, but I don't really care for much else on the menu.

I wanna try and pick up Sneak King tomorrow.

Varies by store. It really depends on if you get a manager and if that manager is a dick.

radjago
11-20-2006, 05:26 AM
I had to go to two stores to get all the games. The first allowed me to buy the games alone, but the manager said they only had the "Sneak Peak" one. :roll: :lol: :roll: Off to the next store, where I had to buy a value meal, but I could buy as many games as I wanted.

Has anyone tried playing these on the original Xbox?
I have, and I'm disappointed, but probably not for the reason you think.

I like the games. For the price, you can't beat them and they aren't bad really. Neither Big Bumpin' nor Pocket Bike Racer support Xbox Live multiplayer for the Original Xbox, only local multiplayer for up to 4. I feel a bit mislead.

As a consolation, the Xbox version of Sneak King does have controller options for sensitivity, vertical look inversion, and rumble, but the missions don't feel as rewarding without the motivation of acheivements.

Achievements and online multiplayer add a lot of value to these games. They're probably still worth the $4 each as they are on the Xbox, but they're that much better, not to mention the improved graphics, on 360.

To continue my story from yesterday:

Today I go into BK and order up a #4 and some games; the response I got from the counter was "Que?"

No glitter, no magazine rack.

Brak
11-20-2006, 09:09 AM
I just tried buying one of the games at a local Burger King, and they said they were selling them yet. I pointed out all of the banners, window signs and the paper bags that said that they were available on the 19th, and the hillbilly behind the counter pulled the ol' "deer caught in headlights" routine, asked the manager in the back, and told me that they can't sell them yet.

Rather than argue, I walked out and went to another local Burger King and got Pocketbike Racer.

IGN has reviews up for all 3 now.

Big Bumpin' (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/746/746645p1.html) - 7.0
PocketBike Racer (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/746/746679p1.html) - 4.5
Sneak King (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/746/746290p1.html) - 6.7

I think they were a little harsh on PocketBike Racer, but generally I agree with what they said.

FLSHADOW74
11-20-2006, 11:20 AM
To continue my little BK adventure story...

Went back TODAY and they still were not selling them
but after haranguing them about my previous attempts
to purchase them and the fact they had up signage everywhere
showing yesterdays date they were unable to do so as it wasn't
downloaded into their registers. So then the one manager asked
another and said "Sure give me $4.24 in cash for each game in
addition to your value meal purchase and you can have them." so
to be sure I heard her correctly I asked if the deal was I give you
cash for an item you will not ring up as I purchase then I could have
it, for which she replied yes. Well I carry zero cash on me, never
had so I left pissed off as this was my 3rd trip to my BK which is
about 10 minutes away (the next closest is 16miles away). I
decided to call BK's corporate office and let them know of what's
going on so if you're getting the run around call them on it at
1.305.378.3535 (Burger King Corporate Office Customer Service).

Just my two cents, plus I had to vent. - Thanks
you can have one.

DiscoDuck8k
11-20-2006, 12:53 PM
I went around town today and none of the four BKs I stopped at had any idea what I was talking about. One of them did have the whole thing advertised on the bag, but when I asked them about it they seemed as oblivious as all the other places.

Meh, maybe I'll try again later this week.

Pocketracer is pretty boring.

I knew I shoulda got Sneak King.

I actually think Sneak King is the worst of the three.

Big Bumpin' is definitely the most fun and feels like a bunch of mini-games from Fuzion Frenzy. Played some online last night and a fun time was had by all.

Pocketbike Racer is decent and has a good number of races and online play. Nothing spectacular, but serviceable for $4.

Sneak King had the most potential, but it falls flat. It's really very limited and it takes real dedication to play it for more than a few missions. (Plus, this is the hardest one to get nerd points in.)

When I went to my local BK that charged me $5.99 if I wanted to purchase the games outright.

I picked up 2 for $5.99 and one for $3.99 with a value meal.


I didn't want to argue with them about it and they couldn't even figure how to ring up the games at $5.99.

Another promotion that's not being utilized correctly.

Just did 3 quick plays

Sneak King: Not bad, just wish the levels were a little bigger and more interactive. And the controls do feel backwards.

Pocket Bike: Not a fan. Don't like how the tracks aren't contained, and you can fly way the hell off the course

Big Bumpin': Its bumper cars, lol.

Also couldn't find any live games going. Oh well.

jezebelseven
11-20-2006, 04:19 PM
Got all three with one combo (Well, technically two, my mom ordered one after ordering the games with my combo), no problem. And to my delight, my food was actually halfway fresh-- This particular BK tends to have the worst food ever, onion rings taste like old, unchanged oil, and whatnot, but it wasn't so bad this time.

lawdood
11-20-2006, 04:36 PM

But that's the whole point. Having all the achievments from Sneak King is like, a must for all self-respecting achievment whores (not that I would know).

I think I'll be doing fast food tomorrow, because I'm in a rush between places, so I might pick up Sneak King. I'm debating between it and Big Bumpin, as Sneak King is a must have, but big bumpin' is probably funner.

It's sad, but if Sneak King didn't have achievements, I would probably never put it back in my 360 again.

11-20-2006, 06:07 PM
perhaps i got a different version than you. i played all three equally and got 3-4 acheivements for sneak king, 1 in one game and none in the other.

and sneak king is by far the most fun game of the bunch. had to pry my self off of it.

that sucks...i got all three fo 12 bucks with 3 items from the dollar menu. so far they are okay. maybe i don't get them, but i don't really like the controls for pocket bike, otherwise that would be a great game for 20 bucks let alone 4.

I had the same thing. They told me they weren't for sale until December. When I showed them the fine print on all the signs everywhere that say 11/19, that's when they sold them to me.

Unfortunately, my Sneak King has a defect in it's cover. I didn't notice it until i left. Not worth going back to get a replacement. Maybe I'll get more value on Ebay too!

I also got all 3, but they made me buy a meal, and charged me an extra dollar each for the 2 that didn't go with the meal. What the fuck? Seems like each BK decides how they're going to handle it, corporate probably didn't give them much support beyond "here ya go, good luck".

I actually liked the tracks in Pocketbike, and the controls were eh... ok once I got used to them. Sneak King has potential, only played it for a few mins.

Big Bumpin Hockey is by far the best part of all 3 games. I hope more people play it online.

BigDirty
11-20-2006, 11:36 PM
My initial thoughts: I tossed in sneak king, and I've noticed that it's a little buggy and freezes in some awkward spots, especially getting stuck in objects.

As for Pocketbike Racer, it was nothing to write home about, but far, far better than the Acclaim/Climax masterpiece of SX Superstar.

Mr.Answer
11-21-2006, 12:27 AM
I played big bumping or whatever its called tonight online.. it was a blast..hockey was the game. the only bad thing is that once a goal is scored it is fairly easy to tie up the puck. The motor bike one was fine for a bit, both seem to be good Fusion Frenzy type party games. Sneak king froze several times and had to reboot.

ALL of these games are a better value than most of the games for XBLA (dig dug, contra, etc etc.)

Finally got all 3 with the purchase of a BK Stacker meal. I only had a chance to mess with Sneakking and Pocketbike. Sneak King was decent (only played a few missions in the 1st stage), although why the hell can't I invert the X and Y acis on the camer controls. That annoyed the hell out of me..
Pocketbike was pretty fun - I'm not really into the Mario Kart games that much, played the default tournament to get a feel for the game. I'll try more tomorrow and also the Bumpercars one. If you guys want to play on live, send me a message. :)

overall fun games for the price, although they could have released these games on Live Arcade so we didn't have to fart around with buying food at BK. :)

Glad I found your post. I was going to ask how much people are paying.

I got all three this morning for $5.99 each. I was a bit surprised by the price, but I didn't get a meal, just the games. Looking at the receipt it rang up as "3 XBOX SOLO" so I guess that's how they are doing it. $3.99 with a meal, $5.99 without.

Still, that's 3 games for just under $20, not too bad. As a CAG I would prefer them cheaper :D but oh well. Looking forward to playing them tonight when I get home.

Ive been able to get it for $4.99 without the meal....$5.99 without is just crazy...your spending an extra $2! each and that can already goes toward getting yourself some food...or food for your enemy...

I bought a value meal, got one for $3.99 and then $4.99 for the other two. Sneak King seems like it would be fun, but the game gives me a headache.

Wow, the two BKs near me suck. They will only sell the three games with three value meals, bringing the total to over $25 for food I will throw away. Just doesn't seem worth it for these games... Oh well, if I pass another one I'll check it out but it looks like I'm SOL.

I picked up Sneak King and Pocketbike with a value meal. I asked her how many I could buy and she asked if I wanted all 3 for 3.99 each. I just got 2 because I didn't want to blow all my cash for today.

I haven't played either yet, but the worst thing so far was the food. They even watered down my Coke!

That sucks, I was robbed for $5.25 once outside a grocery store about 7 years ago or so at gunpoint. It scared the crap out of me but I got a good laugh that he robed a poor 19 year old for a whole $5.25.

Pocketbike Racer is absolutely horrible. Big Bumpin' is probably the best of the three.

As far as I'm concerned SNEAK KING was worth $4 just for the intro movie where the King is moving around outside somebody's house. My wife was scared TO DEATH by it!

Let's get one thing straight before anyone else says these games suck anymore. These games are sold at FOUR bucks. Dollar for dollar, these are the games of the fucking decade. I could spend more than ten times that much on Genji or Red Steel or Superman Returns and get a game that is of comprable (or lesser, in some cases) entertainment value.

Unless you get all your games for free, you're wrong. And if you do, I'm jealous. When you pay that much more for something, you expect to get more.

Dunno if anyone mentioned this or not, I just bought all 3 titles from Burger King without buying a scrap of food. It was 12.70ish for all three.

Sneak king is cool, PocketBike is halfway descent, Big Bumpin is sort of a mess. Thats my mini review.

And they all have achievements! Again, no idea if anyone mentioned any of this. I dont have time to browse right now to fid out.

I got food poisoning as well. I have no problem with the food normally but I thought I'd try the italian chicken sandwich.

Though if they make another game where you eat a Whopper and have to race against time to the bathroom I'll end up back there again.

I hope they continue this promotion and make some sort of Survival-Horror game with The King.

If you click the left thumbstick, you get a first-person view, through two eye holes. So, I always just imagined it as a random person dressed up like the King, wearing a mask, stalking people, handing out food.

Maybe you should refer to the name of the site...

There are clearly different expectations from a full price title, a budget title, and a $3.99 title. Geometry Wars is a great game for $5. But, expectations change when you slap a $50 pricetag on it.

Sneak King, outside of the obvious novelty-value, is brutally linear / straight-forward / boring.

The first-person view is a bit of a redeeming factor, however.

For the price, I am really enjoying these games - screw GoW! ;)

I finally decided to take PocketBike online last night for the achievement and had tons of problems. If I see "Lost connection to host" one more time, I'm going to scream!

In about two hours, I think I finished MAYBE four races; the rest of the time I would be booted back to the main menu or the system would lock mid race.

- The people had a bigger vision cone
- You could give food to anyone
but
- You can only give the food if you are in a hiding spot
- And you should be able to lure people over with heavy breathing :bouncy:

BK sucks. i got PocketBike earlier in the week. asked my sis earlier today to pick up the other 2 games, they made her buy a value meal for each game. so she ended up spending close to $30 at crappy BK. cheap games at $3.99 each, but they require to to buy their gut busting food.

anyways, i like the 2 xbox live games, Pocketbike and Big Bumpin'. only complaint about the race tracks its very easy to go off track, shouldve made it somewhat enclosed at least. Sneak King seems fun, but repetitive. time consuming to unlock each mission and level. camera angles and controls are tricky. overall, i agree with others that PocketBike seems to be the most complete game. Big Bumpin' the most fun since its kind of similar to the Fusion Frenzy type games. solid values, just wish i had BK's near me that wouldnt require to buy their food w/ the games

Shut up and stop your whining!!! She spent $22 on the food alone. No wonder your guts are busting. It's a smart promo for Burger King. Why should they go out and create the game and just sell them for $4??? It's part of an advertising campaign. All companies do that. Basic Econ 101...

Exactly, I hate how any threads that even deal with fast food become some preaching on how bad fast food is for us, I enjoy fast food, its convenient... do I eat it every day, hell no, moderation, my parents didnt rely on it either... some people (mainly overweight) have little will power and do stuff their faces on this... but BK like most other businesses is in the market to make money, people want the burgers... so many healthy alternatives in these stores have been ignored... I for one have never thought about ordering the veggie burger they had/have?


... BK DOES sell the games without food purchase for 6.99... of course that would make the games overpriced IMO... although I have had a nice time with them so far, although the linear AI in Sneak King drags some of the "deliver food from hiding spaces" missions ALOT longer because you have to learn the patterns, not lure them over SPlinter Cell stype

Just picked up Big Bumpin'. Now my collection is complete. I notice at my BK that you could get all 3 games for $10.99 w/ value meal. Save a buck on the games and you dont have to order multiple meals. So any one who hasn't picked them up now might be a good time.

Has anyone played these on both Xbox and xbox 360? How do they compare to each other?

That motorcycle game is great. I haven't played the other two very much yet.

Question, how on earth do you get <90seconds on the last two tracks? The construction one and the fantasy level as well. I can get 96 seconds but I've never been able to shave off any more than that. There has to be some shortcut towards the end where you get thrown in that mess of turns (I think I've seen a ramp over there somewhere) but its so hard to see it when you're buzzing around.

Bumping this up for the entension and possible "deal" on these games. I saw a local BK having special signs up for the games' sale being extended and that they're now selling all three together for $10.99, but each one is still $3.99 all by itself. I don't recall going by any others near here after that, so it may just be a YMMV thing and that others are still selling them for $4 each only. The games will probably now just be available for as long as the supplies last since they made about 5 million copies and sold only about 2 million at the time of the news that was released a few weeks ago.

I'm having a hellish time getting less than 90 on the construction one. The fantasy ranch was really easy.

I think it is 3 for $10.99 everywhere now.
