* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The show is a beloved classic with strong writing both for characters and plots, and while the CGI hasn't aged gracefully, it's still fondly remembered. The Platform/PlayStation game, on the other hand... is the exact opposite. As covered by WebVideo/{{Rerez}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZup4oHNpz8 here]], it has a lot of problems, ranging from the very awkward controls of Bob's movement, time limits both visible and not (even if you fix the tears, you still have to rush to get the good endings to levels), enemies loving to overwhelm you while you fight against the aforementioned controls, the tears being very difficult to close, the auto aim being god awful... the list goes on. Perhaps it was a sign of things to come when the box art was shown, displaying Bob, an AllLovingHero, [[MisaimedMarketing wielding a large gun]] (which comes from an episode where he uses one... to capture enemies in bubbles, instead of just shooting them with bullets). That said however, the CGI is straight from the original cartoon while the voice cast came back too.

A licensed game probably counts as merchandising.


* MisaimedMarketing: One of the many reasons why the game falls under TheProblemWithLicensedGames. No, Bob (in the actual show) doesn't use a gun to solve his problems or defeat his enemies. He only uses one should the game he's in requires him to have one. On top of that, he lives by his HonorBeforeReason motto, "to mend and defend", meaning the Guardian ''never'' kills or does harm without a good reason. Many things that the game gets so wrong.
