Spice World
built 214 days ago
Apparently taking its inspiration from last year's fantastically successful Parappa the Rapper, Spice World offers cheeky lo-fi caricatures of each girl, who walk you through the strenuous task of becoming a Spice Girl. You'll learn to remix songs, sing them, dance to them, and, by the end of the game, you'll even have a video to prove you were there. But don't get your hopes up; it's nowhere near as fun as it sounds.
Consumers who have purchased Spice World 1 oz. BASIL LEAVES, coded 0912, are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-800-433-4979.

Last year's Parappa the Rapper, from which Spice World is obviously derived, managed to succeed because of its catchy tunes, humorous characters, and the fantastically surreal storyline. Spice World has none of these. The once-catchy tunes have been mangled into a collection of painfully mismatched snippets. The normally humorous and loveable characters (who can resist Ginger's cheeky retorts or Posh's deadly stare?) have been transformed into personality-less cartoons, featuring only a few trademark idiosyncrasies. And if you're looking for any sort of storyline or gameplay whatsoever, forget it. Fifteen minutes of pressing a few buttons, and the whole thing's over. This PlayStation mess is only a piece of embarrassing cultural kitsch, a joke birthday present meant to be displayed on a shelf and played but once.
Spice World is a video game that was created by Psygnosis for Sony PlayStation in 1998 to boost the publicity of the movie of the same name... starred by the famous British girl group, the Spice Girls. The game however, received mixed reviews. What may be the Spice Girls' biggest selling point - their looks - are represented by animated figures in likeness of each girl. The music is, naturally, courtesy of the Spice Girls.

Spice World: Rock Candy for the Bambi Crowd by Otto Luck Spice World should have some sort of reverse rating: one which prevents anyone over the age of 14 from attending the movie. It is obviously not a piece of work intended for the adult viewer. That is, unless the viewer has a mild case of brain damage.

Spice World appears in both an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 and in a [F]ullscreen version on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. Only the letterboxed picture was reviewed for this article. Though the transfer was a mixed bag, it usually seemed pretty good.
