The best Reboot Tie in video game I've played.
crosswalkx11 September 2021
I have seen this TV Reboot when I was an older kid in the 1990s. After watching the TV episodes I wanted to play a video game based on this TV show. I found the Playstation 1 game Reboot in the online store and I put it in my Playstation system.

In this game, you play as Bob the Guardian who rides his hoverboard around places to stop Megabyte and Hexadecimal and has to use blasters to shoot at Megabytes robot army the drones, the hovertanks and fight the robot bosses including Slash and even Megabyte and Hexadecimal there are cutscenes not present in the TV show which is exclusive for this Playstation game which many of them are funny and creepy to watch especially by the late voice actor Tony Jay voicing as Megabyte, he's also in King's Quest 6.

He also has to find tear balls to use his mender tool which can be tricky as the tear balls can damage Bob, there are many perilous levels you have to deal with such as lava, falling into a pit, you can use a few grappling hooks but if you can't use a grappling hook you lose a life. This game is brutally hard since you have to hover jump and climb up obstacles. Especially the floating island level.

Thankfully EA Games company decided to have cheat codes which allows for refilling ammo, Free Shield with Glitch, Full Glitch Energy and the best cheat is Flight Mode which allows Bobs hoverboard to fly especially in hard levels with lava and many pits especially on the floating island where it is easy for the player to fall to their death.

Also you can play as Dot or Enzo even though it causes plot holes in the game including seeing 2 Dots and 2 Enzos and the player playing as those 2 other characters are mistaken for Bob.

There are a few levels that can randomly lock up the game for no reason which is annoying but thankfully you can save the game on a PS1 memory card.

For beginners playing Reboot on your Playstation 1 or Playstation 2 console I would highly suggest using Flight Mode to make it easier for players starting out. And to make the game more challenging don't use any cheat codes.

This game had a limited Playstation Disc run. It's too bad this game wasn't available on the Playstation 3 network store and wasn't included on the Playstation classic console. Good luck finding this rare game as it's now a cult classic game and it's becoming an expensive game to find. I highly recommend buying this game especially for the Reboot TV fans like I am. I'm worried this game is going to become a lost Playstation game in the near future.
