Compared to other mediums, video games are harder to sell as members of the so bad it's good club. Something about the agency the player has over their own experience makes it hard to point and laugh at a game with serious flaws.

That being said, this is one of the funniest games I've ever played. A true growing pain in the shift to 3D models, Rugrats: Search for Reptar is clunky, annoying, and way too easy to beat in one sitting. But something about it... The repeating voice lines, the egregiously bad camera, the fact that bumping into a wall makes Tommy recoil - these things make it impossible not to laugh along as you play.

I would not seriously recommend this game, but I would absolutely recommend it in jest. It's all a matter of sharing my sense of humour.
