Adventure Time review: Hey Ice King, why’d you steal my heart?

Adventure Time is one of the very best things on television. Its adorable characters, hilarious dialogue and surprisingly complex and storied mythology set it apart from the vast majority of “children’s” entertainment out there. Other programs like Regular Show may be roughly as funny, but Adventure Time’s contemporaries often lack its poignant subtext and stellar character development.

Needless to say, I love Adventure Time dearly. So, when I first heard about WayForward’s Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?! for the DS and 3DS, my initial reaction was one of both joy and concern. I want there to be a game for my favorite cartoon, of course, but “portable game based on a Cartoon Network property” isn’t usually a phrase that inspires confidence.

Well, be confident. Hey Ice King isn’t going to win any awards for innovative design, but the soul of the show is present in gratuitous quantities.
