PenPen Tri-ice-olon is a totally whacked racer. Weirder than
a clipped toenail collection (('Look, here's Leo
DiCaprio's, and over here is Bill Clinton's É')) but not as
weird as drinking Mountain Dew for breakfast. A PenPen is a
penguin from outer space. You race around whacked tracks
with three different racing styles: swimming, sliding, and
running (hence the 'Tri') using whacked racers, ranging
from dog-penguins to sharks and octopus-women. O-kayÉ

GRAPHICS: 9
The graphics in this game are pretty sweet. The frame rate
in one-player mode is awesome. Multi-player mode's graphics
keep up amazingly well, and the frame rate doesn't slow down
that much. I was very impressed with the graphics. They look
straight out of a cartoon show. 

SOUND: 8
The music is catchy and up-beat, but the sound effects are
the best. Wait'll you here the penguin's 'Cha-cha-cha!'
It's hilarious! The other sounds such as jumping and sliding
all sound pretty good too. 

CONTROL: 4 
This is the weak point. The controls are downright
frustrating, especially in running mode. It's extremely
difficult trying to jump up a staircase when your character
refuses to jump when you want him to. In four-player mode,
everybody often gets stuck in the same area, knocking each
other over, trying to get up the stairs. Especially in one
room that acts like a merry-go-round. Oh, man. 

REPLAY VALUE: 4
There's a four-player mode but that's all. There are only
four tracks, and they are rather short and don't have
multiple paths. The game is extremely easy to beat in
one-player mode, even with the erratic controls. It got old
after two days. Beating different tracks and such gives you
'clothes' you can put on your racer, but that's just kinda dumb. 

OVERALL: 5 out of 10
It's a very average game. Not worth the money for a buy, but
maybe a rental if you like racers and want one evening of
fun with three friends. This game won't last you long at
all. Stay away. Sonic R is better than this.
