OMG Reviews and Stories

Review – My Friend Peppa Pig

From the very beginning of My Friend Peppa Pig it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between this video game and the uber-popular children’s animated series. Presented as an open adventure that doesn’t force the player in any one direction with the wide variety of activities and interactions is largely available immediately. Aside from a handful of story driven cinematics and associated events, the interactive experience is presented in a manner that truly represents player freedom and exploration at their own pace.
