Jim Henson's Bear in the Big Blue House is a 2002 video game published by Ubi Soft for the Game Boy Color and PlayStation, based on The Jim Henson Company and Disney Channel children's television show of the same name. A title for the Game Boy Advance was planned by Ubi Soft, but never released.
Gameplay
In Bear in the Big Blue House, the player controls Ojo and explores the House to collect presents and jigsaw puzzle pieces to complete a Birthday Picture. The game features two modes: Adventure, in which the player explores the House to locate individual characters to complete seven minigames and obtain pieces, and Activity, in which the player can complete minigames on their own. Each minigame has two difficulty modes, and span simple games involving mazes, catching, and memory tests.
Reception
Bear in the Big Blue House received mixed reviews. Writing for Game Boy Xtreme, John Hagerty praised the game for its "nice graphics and variety of challenges on offer", although noting as a children's game "none of the sub-games are particularly difficult" and it "won't appeal to anyone old enough to read this review". Total Advance concurred the game would provide "a good few hours of educational fun" to its "definite target audience" of young children, sardonically noting it was not for anyone "old enough to go to the toilet without help".
