There Was A Fairly OddParents Video Game?

The Fairly OddParents did something not so odd and joined in the long line of video games that stem from non video games properties. While there are other Fairly OddParents video games, today, we are taking a look at The Fairly OddParents: Breakin' Da Rules and see how the world of the show was translated to a video game.

Thanks so much for watching! Did you ever get a chance to play this Fairly OddParents game? Let me know your thoughts on it!

As a game its a 5/10 but as a piece of Fairly Odd Parents interactive media its a 8/10. The references are on point. Stages feel similar to episodes. The voice actors put in a similar effort level to the show. Everything feels cohesive

BRO... STOP IT. The unearthing of these childhood memories are too great. I got this game for getting a "Check+" on my report card in 4th grade, this game kept me company through many saturday mornings, thanks for reminding me bubba.

I spent my entire childhood wanting to play this game. Now, at 23yrs, I come across your video, remember this, and set an emulator to play. The sheer joy this brought me, man... Thank you so much for this Jordan

What I like about games like this, is you can tell everything that’s there to offer, and if you want just a nice relaxing nostalgic platformer, it’s a nice time still today. Also I have memories of being sick and staying home playing this game. Good times, I think I was 5 or 6.

This was one of the first games I ever fully beat as a kid. I enjoyed it as a 13 year old but I see it doesn't hold up.

Fun fact! Breakin’ da rules never released in Australia. Only shadow showdown which I had a lot of fun with personally.

The Vicky Boss in the Power Mad inspired level made a Sonic reference as well.

She mentions when she gets done with you, she'll change you into something else.. One of the mentions of animals is a Hedgehog.

I feel like this was a great "intro to gaming" video game. It's clever but simple. It has different challenges that get harder but not impossible. And it's played at a pace that makes it easy for kids to get a basic understanding of the controls used in most rpgs without it being too easy or too hard. I think that's what this game was really meant for. It wasn't created for experienced gamers, but rather as an introduction of sorts for children. I know I loved this game and Shadow Showdown as a kid, and it definitely got me more interested in games similar to it. Now I play RDR2 and GTA V, and I owe a lot of that enjoyment to early, child friendly rpgs like Breakin' Da Rules. I know this game is outdated and boring to most adults, but it will always hold a special place in my memory

Love your content, really feels like a blast from the past. You should do an episode on the Fossil Fighter games, especially since you seemed to enjoy Spectrobes

I kinda miss the absolute cheese licensed video games that THQ put out back in the early/mid 00s. Sometimes you'd get amazing games, like Battle for Bikini Bottom, and sometimes... you get Breakin' Da Rules. At least we had the benefit of Blockbuster/Hollywood Video/Movie Gallery rentals back then to decide if a game was worth getting.

Shadow Showdown is an amazingly nastalgic game for me and my siblings! The varied and interesting levels with their own gimmics, the ongoing mystery, and how you can use your wishes all throughout the levels they appear in. Along with permanent powerups. I still remember learning to back track while using my wishes in Fairy World. It never felt stale for us and was hours of enjoyment.

I love the episodic nature of this--it feels really natural, of course. I remember seeing a friend play this at his house when we were kids, but never tried it myself. It looks great with the cell-shaded style, and honestly you've encouraged me to try this myself. Thanks, Jordan!

I remember renting this game for the Xbox at Blockbuster when I was 7. When I got home and opened up the case, Godzilla: Save the Earth was inside instead. That was my introduction to my lifelong obsession with Godzilla.

I still remember all the screenshots of the Fairy Odd Parents game on the box. Wasn’t exactly excited but was interested. It feels so nice to see what this game actually looks like after all these years. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this video, also I think you should try the shadow showdown iirc it's much better than breakin da rules, I hope you continue making great videos about those licensed games that are left in the shadows but I remember them and this kind of content brings me happiness :)

[lade_pardee]

Oh wow, I remember renting this at Hollywood Video and playing it for all of 30 mins before getting bored and swapping over to the Futurama video game I also rented and finishing it in a sitting 😂 .... returned this basically unplayed because most of it was intro, fun to see now what it was actually about hehe

[eblock]

“Or bare minimum, rent it.”
I felt that 😭😭 thank you blockbuster for introducing me to so many games!

[offbeatkiki]

I was obsessed with Breakin Da Rules. Still love it tbh

[RyansChannel]

This and Shadow Showdown seriously need to be remade.

[slycooperscane]

I love this game it felt like a perfect translation of the show. The levels and gameplay constantly switching made it so it never got stale.
