Review ------ Clever, captivating and cool, this new Fox adventure is as fun and challenging as the first two in the series. In a total James Bond spoof, our detective hero must once again "outfox" the villain to save the universe from disaster. This time, the evil Poodles Galore, Queen of Cosmetics, has blasted an enormous hairspray space station into orbit. Its constant blast of aerosol threatens to deplete the Earth's ozone layer, forcing the world to buy Poodles' super sunscreen, the only one strong enough to block the ravaging sun! Fortunately, Fox has an arsenal of ultra-slick gadgets at his disposal. There's a "glow in the dark" Mint that will light up dark rooms, and a well-disguised cinnamon roll called the Sticky Stun Bun will leave enemies dazed and confused for weeks. Then, there's the Grappling Granny Doll. When Fox gives her a squeeze, her false teeth shoot out of her mouth and act as a grappling hook, allowing our hero to scale tall buildings. Yes, Fox is well equipped! So what do kids do in this crazy caper? Plenty. They'll move Fox through the many scenes, locating secret passageways, breaking codes and solving puzzles along the way. They'll need all their wits and logic, plus a sharp memory to complete all the tasks ahead. Good listening comes in handy, too, as clues are dropped right and left. Graphics, music and use of humor are all outstanding, making for a very engaging experience. Our testers loved the game and spent hours with it. The younger ones needed lots of help, though-- this program really is best for kids aged 8 and up. -- From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"
