"Probably the Greatest Game You'll Ever Play"

Cory in the House is just fantastic. There is no way around it. Cory has been entertaining us for years on the Disney Channel, and finally he can entertain us on the Nintendo DS. I don't know about you but when I heard of Cory on the DS I was as giddy as when I go to church (I'm a Catholic schoolboy so I love to go to church). Cory is just, amazing. This game is amazing. This game is perfect.

Cory in the House may seem like your typical platformer but oh no, it is far from it. Cory is out to save the world from an evil scientist who has decided to turn Cory's bobble-head doll of the president, or as Cory likes to say 'the prez' into a destructive force capable of destroying destructive things such as the world which is destructible.

Cory runs, Cory jumps, and Cory uses his kung-fu action to blast his way through 9 levels of platforming/action goodness reminiscent of a good Jackie Chan meets That's So Raven meets Cory in the House show. Players utilize the touchscreen in such was as to slide their finger across the screen horizontally in order to make Cory karate chop or slide their finger across the screen vertically in order to make Cory do a kung-fu kick. Furthermore, players can blow into the mic and make Cory shoot fireballs from his mouth. Talk about awesome.

The enemies in Cory in the House are extremely varied and well thought out. Typical enemies include ninjas and Russian scientist, but later in the game Cory begins fighting against people he initially thought were his allies. Probably the most impressive boss was the giant robot Raven in which players had to run up to her feet and breath fireballs at her chest. Being a relatively early on boss this heightened players expectations immediately and brought about the sense that this is one of the greatest games ever.

The graphics and music are phenomenal. Cory is detailed brilliantly. Every little detail of Cory's beautiful and masculine body is clearly visible and downright pleasing to look at. When Cory sweats, the sweat drips down his pecs and glistens against his tight abdominals. The music which accompanies the various action is epic and mindblowing. The score is fully orchestrated with cellos, violins, and the clashing of cymbals.

Overall, Cory in the House is a must play. Simply put, you must play this game if you enjoy videogames or enjoy having fun. With a fantastic story, insanely innovative gameplay, amazing graphics, and an unparalleled score, Cory in the House stands leagues above the competition. This game isn't a game; it is an experience, it is an art.

And who can argue? Cory in the House is one of the greatest games ever.

Someone loves Cory a bit 'TOO' much >.>
 
Here's a plot summary of the game:
QUOTE said:
On August 10, 2010, a.t.b., the Holy Empire of Britannia overpowered American forces and conquered the country with their new, powerful, robotic weapons, the bobble heads, in less than a month. In the aftermath of Britannia's invasion, America lost its freedom, its rights, and even its name, becoming Area 11 of the Britannian Empire. The American people, renamed as "Elevens", are forced to survive in poor neighborhoods, while Britannians live in first-class settlements. Rebel elements persist, however, as pockets of Japanese organizations struggle against the Empire for the independence of Japan.

After his father, the Emperor of Britannia, failed to prevent the assassination of his mother, an attack which also left his sister blind and crippled, the young prince Cory vowed to destroy Britannia. Seven years later, he accidentally becomes mixed up with "bobble heads" in Area 11 and encounters a mysterious girl named Raven, who gives him the power of bobble heads. With it, he finally has the power that he needs to defeat Britannia and fulfill his two wishes: to seek revenge for his mother and to construct a world in which his beloved sister Raven can live happily.

Nah, Cory in the House would be too deep for pretty much anyone who watches anime; it would need a large amount of episodes probably spanning a few seasons and maybe a few movies. You'd have to play the game itself to unravel the mysteries behind Cory and his bobble heads at your own pace and experience the life changing story of Cory in the House firsthand.
 
"Simply put, I cannot recommend Cory in the House for the DS, not even to the most hardcore fan of the TV series."

Honestly, the critics have no taste whatsoever. They're the same critics that gave Godhand a 73 and gave Halo 3 a 9.4.

They wouldn't know a good game even if it slapped them and proceeded to have consensual sex with their mothers. They don't deserve the right to be called critics.
 
That GameFAQs review is ownage.

Vague Rant said:
As someone who has no idea what Cory in the House is, this topic confused the hell out of me.

Wikipedia explains it better, but "Corey In the House" is a somewhat formula sitcom on the Disney Channel about the mishaps of Corey Baxter, son of the White House chef and little brother to Raven of "That's So Raven".

The humor in all of this is that, traditionally, games based on Disney Channel series tend to be little more than shovelware- either mediocre platformers or adventures of the "go get X for Y who will then give you Z; wash, rinse, repeat" format.

Q: Are there any good DC show adaptations? The only one I can think of is a Lilo And Stitch platformer for the GBA.
 
The people that gave this game a good score must have never played one because Cory in the House is definitely not a good game.
