Wow, this is certainly one that cruises below the radar...I knew very little about this game until I purchased it recently, and usually when you don't hear anything about something that means... Well, actually Camp California is an above average platform action game with one major flaw. The graphics are pretty good, and the music, aside from all those Beach Boys songs, is decent as well. The game is VERY long with close to 30 levels, and best of all, its NOT linear. You get to cruise around a map screen choosing each level, and there's some strategy involved. There's five playable characters all with different attributes (one can fly, one can swim, etc...) and the game really surprised me with its depth. And the voice acting is decent! HOWEVER, the flaw that really hurts Camp California is no save or password feature. This is one long, difficult game. Still, this game is definitely underrated. In fact, it isn't rated anywhere! But it's a lot better than you probably think...
