Mandark's Lab?Title: Dexter's Laboratory, Mandark's Lab?
Company: Cartoon Network Interactive, Warner Brothers, Bam Entertainment
Type of Game: Adventure
System Requirements: Play Station
Rating: E (Everyone)

Mandark, Dexter's arch nemesis has infiltrated Dexter's precious laboratory. In doing this, Mandark changed the password and infected Computer with viruses. You must help Dexter get into his lab, and after you do, you must help cure Computer of a series of viruses, and face other challenges before it's too late. Can you help Dexter win his lab back, or is it out with Dexter and in with Mandark?

You will have two play to mini-games in each of the 6 levels. Once you successfully complete both games, you can go on to the next level. For some of the mini-games, you can earn things to help you. You earn these things by collecting things called blueprints, then putting them in their original order.

In this game, I liked that it was sort of challenging. It wasn't really easy, but it also wasn't one that took forever just to pass level one.

I didn't like that some of the instructions weren't very detailed, so some of the time, I had to read for a while to figure out what was going on. Also, it would tell you when there was something going on, even if it weren't very important.

I would recommend this game because it was very fun and, like I said before, it was sort of challenging. I would recommend it for kids ages 10 and up. Younger kids would probably have a hard time with some of the challenges. (July, 2002)
