Hugo: Cannon Cruise

Posted by admin on July 19th, 2008 filed in 3D, Arcade, For Kids

Unless you live in Norway it’s odds on that right now you are probably thinking “Hugo who?” That’s probably because whilst Hugo is indeed massive in his home territory, the cartoon troll hasn’t really ventured that much further. To developers and publishers “ITE”s credit though exactly who or indeed ‘what’ Hugo is doesn’t really spoil this story driven action adventure catered squarely at the younger audience.
And everyone knows that a kid’s arcade adventure without a story is like rhubarb without the custard. So it was with a great relief that we soon discovered that Hugo: Cannon Cruise had a half decent story, even if it does slightly register on the bizarre scale at times. To sum things up it revolves around an apple, a wicked witch, three wishes, and of course Hugo, the troll set against a backdrop of sailing, lots and lots of sailing.
