Story

edit

The inhabitants of planet Hananuma find themselves encountering numerous problems that they are unable to solve alone, and their call for help is answered by the Universal City Service, who send Robbit to Hananuma to rectify things and put the inhabitants at peace once again.

Gameplay

edit

The gameplay controls are virtually identical to the two previous games, with the reduction of special weapons slots from three to one, and the addition of a slamming move after pressing the triangle button while in the air. Instead of roaming around worlds collecting Jet Pods or MuuMuus, the objective of each level varies from having to simply turn on four water wells to destroy thirteen ghosts in a graveyard to transporting somebody home.

Reception

edit

Robbit Mon Dieu was given a 31 out of 40 by gaming publication Famitsu.[4][5] The game was given a 5.4 out of 10 by the website GameSpot, citing it as a disappointing sequel to the series.[6]
