Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity
Description
Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity is the second game based off of the popular French animated TV series Code Lyoko and it is presented as a 3D action platformer. It continues the original premise of the four high school students who discover a computer in an abandoned factory, holding a large virtual world plagued by the virus X.A.N.A., but many of the characters' backgrounds are taken from later seasons in the series.
Players take the role of one of the four heroes from the show, Ulrich, Odd, Yumi or Aelita, and fight across the virtual environment of Lyoko and the internet against the dangerous virus X.A.N.A. and his army of monsters. Levels are accessed from a main hub and players can switch between any of the characters at any time, but they share health and energy. The characters' various weapons and abilities can be used to take them out, like Ulrich's swords, Odd's laser arrows or the ability to climb walls, or Yumi being the only one who can balance on thin ledges. Many of these skills are unlocked during the course of the game. X.A.N.A. on the Internet can be hunted down using the digital submarine Skidbladnir.

Nice for fans, bad for newcomers
The Good
The gameplay in Lyoko is good, with various platforming sections, locked areas to pass through at a later time via upgrades gained later on, and various battle sections that may seem difficult at first, but you'll quickly master, especially if you use Yumi, who is, in my personally opinion, overpowered. I recommend not upgrading characters to make it harder.
The game has a few levels where you drive the Skid, a kind of spaceship under the digital sea. If you go carefully and calmly, you'll aim and hit all the enemies without much trouble. What ironically annoyed me the most were the sections with life-sapping glow sticks.
The Bad
The “real world” is set in the Kadic Academy, and it's just a place with some very simple dialogues with characters mentioning events from the series, plus a door with the collectibles unlocked in the levels. It doesn't add anything to the game, and you can skip it completely without being affected by it. A minus point to something that could have given the game a lot more atmosphere, and could have been used to give more of a sense of danger to the attacks of X.A.N.A., the game's narrative enemy.
The Bottom Line
If you're bored and looking for a good time, and you like Code Lyoko, give it a chance, if you want. If you're looking for a game that offers a great challenge, and you don't even know what Code Lyoko is, there are probably a few better options.
