"The Muppet Show" has been a staple of many a childhood over the years. It was never as geared toward kids as "Sesame Street," but there was plenty of fun to be had watching all the chaos unfold on that pretend vaudevillian stage. Various films have come and gone, and Kermit and the rest of the gang have been given a second chance by Disney, but in many ways the original variety show is something that will never be topped. My Muppets Show tries to recapture the Glory Days by revisiting the Muppet Theater, and shockingly enough manages it to a point, but the familiar framework is something of a distraction.
There's an apparent love for all things Muppets in My Muppets Show that really makes it feel special despite the free-to-play mechanics. Each character has their own bio, likes and dislikes (make them happy to boost their earnings), and unique sounds to offer; such as Animal's grunts and drum thumps. They all look great, too. The animations can be a tad awkward but there's a lot of detail in each Muppet and decoration. It's also possible to zoom in fairly close just in case players want to enjoy watching their favorites perform up close.
My Muppets Show was a total surprise, and I've been thrilled to have it on my phone, but I've played this game before. Of course back then it didn't feature Kermit, Gonzo, or Dr. Teeth. I personally feel like this is the better choice, but anyone who's spent a lot of time playing My Singing Monsters might feel otherwise.
