Ed, Edd n Eddy: Scam of the Century is an action game developed and published by D3 Publisher America for the Nintendo DS handheld console. The game is based on the popular, long-running Cartoon Network series, Ed, Edd n Eddy. The game was released on October 23, 2007 in the United States.[1] In the game, the Eds run the risk of having their scams turned on them by the other kids in the neighborhood. Many of the objects and characters, as well as the visual style, borrow heavily from the cartoon. It was based on Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, released two years later.
Gameplay
Each Ed has his own set of levels to complete. They're all side-scrolling fare, but each Ed has his own style of movement and attacks. Edd throws dictionaries, Ed slams his head down on the enemies, while Eddy spits his gum at enemies (Although this freezes the enemy, it does not defeat them). Item pick-ups can be activated on the touch-screen.
On top of the platforming elements, the game contains a number of unlockable mini-games: Whack-a-Mole has been turned into "Whack a Zit" where players tap at rising pimples on Ed's back before they burst. There's also a pie-throwing challenge where players flick the desserts up at enemies on the top screen.[2] The game features 13 total stages, special attacks using the touch screen, the option to blow into the microphone to bring characters back to life, three side story mini-games and special items.[3]
Plot
Ed, Edd and Eddy are trudging home from school when Eddy suddenly notices that his school bag feels a little light. There's a hole and all his stuff is gone, incluiding his precious "Who to Scam and When" Book. The neighborhood kids find the book and realize they have been scammed for years and immediately want payback.
Players take control of the Eds and must make their way through tricks, traps, angry kids and a barrage of ammunition including soap, dirty underwear and broccoli. Then each Ed must brainstorm, scam or smash their way back into the Cul-De-Sac and ultimately battle The Masked Melonheaded Avenger and Splinter the Wonderwood!
The plot is loosely similar to the "Big Picture Show" movie special. Even though the movie had another two years before it saw a release.
