Since I got the Secret Files and Christmas Chronicles in December, I have finally been able to play as Lori. Well, I suppose I could have downloaded the demo before... Anyways, there are some strange things about her that make me suspect that they either put her in at the last moment, or that they just didn't spend a lot of time to put her in. Don't get me wrong - Lori is cool. It's great to finally play as a girl rabbit.

First of all, Lori isn't in the intro. Where did Lori come from? Well, I'll have to check out Noogy.com, because there isn't any manual that says a thing about Lori. Then there's the menu pictures of Spaz and Jazz. They aren't made to include Lori. Then there's the character selection screen for single player. Doesn't she look different than Spaz and Jazz? Well, I know that she was animated by Dean Dodrill while Nick Stadler did Spaz and Jazz (but Dean did the cutscenes). Besides that, the overall visual look to her compared to the others is different. You can tell that they tried to mimic the look though. Her "look" when she's playable is different than the others too. But also, when you choose a character for multiplayer, her colours get messed up when you get into the game, and not even close to what you choose. Her colour mostly stays yellowish, if you try to use a darker colour, it won't blend properly. And you can't change her clothing colour.

Ofcourse she was added into TSF and CC, and these games didn't release outside Europe, and she was done by Dean Dodrill instead of Nick Stadler. I just didn't think she would get "thrown" in so cheaply like that. No intro, not in many menu screens, warped selectible colours... I just think Lori deserves better as do we since she is very cool.

Then again, I'll shut up now. They gave us a third character for no real reason which is a treat. I guess I've always got to be the annoying person who notices everything.
