M&M's The Lost Formulas is a 2000 video game developed by Boston Animation and published by Simon & Schuster Interactive for Mac OS and Microsoft Windows, as a platform game with elements of edutainment games, which was released only in North America. This is the first game based on the M&M's license.[1] It was eventually ported two years later on the mh:awesomegames:PlayStation as M&M's Shell Shocked and was released in North America by Simon & Schuster Interactive and JoWooD Productions in Europe.
Plot
The two lead candies are about to set off on a vacation until Red realizes that Yellow left the M&M's Minis in charge of the candy factory. The Minis promptly steal the secret M&M's formulas and cause havoc at the factory. It is up to Yellow to set the situation right.
Reception
Critical reception
As the original received mixed reviews, the PlayStation version was negatively reviewed.
A user on GameFAQs, scarlet_puppy, gave it a 4/10, calling it "A poor quality version of Crash Bandicoot". He praised the story, which he finds funny, and praised the voice acting as well. On the other hand, he criticized the low quality of graphics, considers the music to be forgettable, long loading times, and a lack of challenge. He summed up the game with the last sentences: "Buy, rent or avoid: Avoid; get Crash Bandicoot instead. Crash Bandicoot is actually fun, whereas this game is not. Naughty Dog must be furious that this game has come out; I know I would be."
Sinspawn_X from GameFAQs gave it a 3/10, praising only the cutscenes and the story. He criticized the graphics, animations, music, sounds, collision detection, and feels it is too easy. His last words sounded like this: "If it weren't for the story and cut-scenes, this game would have easily earned a 2 (although, I have to admit, it still wouldn't be a quality game). Still, I wasn't happy at all that all I got for 25 bucks was a stale, generic Crash Bandicoot. I almost want to mail Vivendi Universal (the then-current owners of Crash) and tell them about this game. Can't wait to see the lawsuit unfold."
The only review site that took care of the game was French Jeuxvideo website. They gave it a 1/20, describing: "A shame, a nameless calamity, an abyss filled with void and nameless horrors, an invention of Lovecraft destined to come to haunt our nights? I hesitate, but what I'm sure is that M & M's Shell Shocked will never be in your game library."
An American gaming YouTube channel, DX (formerly known as DXFan619), gave it a "fire rating of Bullshit (B)", asking: "How did they manage to take out the educational features from a game and make it even worse and more boring?"
