not bad a party

By Carlay6187

this party not bad at all and I love the aline puffles.

Where do I even begin..

By Captain Pinkbeard

The worst party of Club Penguin? DefinItely not. But it's still bad.

Expectations vs Reality First of all, the U.F.O. abductions have to be one of the coolest additions in CP. Other than that, the party itself disappointed me a lot. Why is it even called Operation: Crustacean? I was expecting weird aliens who would be trying to experiment with penguins and crabs (which would explain the abductions and Klutzy being missing). What we got wasn't exactly as exciting as I thought it would be. The Area 501 is the best room (and a clever parody of Area 51) and the Spaceship looks like a classic Space Saucer. The aliens on the other hand..

NEW PUFFLES! Seriously? Yes, that's right, more puffles! They're more like jewerly now than pets. Why do we need so many and why ANOTHER party focused on them! Alien puffles, ha! As if the Olaf, Dog, Cat, Unicorn, Rabbit, Raccoon and Blue Crystal puffles don't look like aliens! At least they have an original design (well they do look like rejects from Monsters Inc. but whatever). But really, those are the mysterious aliens? Oh wow, I'm so scared, what a twist!

Worst EPF Operation ever! I wouldn't even call it an operation, it's more like a mini-mini-mini-mission. All you have to do is take Herbert Pee Bear to the space saucer. And that's it. That's your mission. Wow, um, how about, I don't know.. Figure out why there's a darn alien ship on the Dock? Doesn't that sound like a better adventure? Is discovering ultra-super-cute Puffles from outer space the EPF's job? Speaking of their role..

Jet Pack Dumb Guy and Herbie the Friendly Bear! WHY, oh, WHY are we helping Herbert? If Jet Pack Guy is supposed to be the stereotypical, cunning agent, why did he act like Rookie there? Why did he not put Herbert in a cage? In the old missions you could argue that he was sympathetic.. But after "Operation: Blackout", when he attempted to freeze everyone to death, you would expect the agency to take some measures. But nope! We love criminals! Long live Herbert! Let's save your partner-in-crime, old friend!

This party could have been awesome, but they ruined it with their Herbert-cliches, lack of decorations and puffle obsession. They rely so much on puffles that it's nearly pathetic.

Operation: Crusta... more puffles

By Green N Cool

Positives:

• The decorations look amazing!
• The UFO abductions were a nice build up to the event.
• The music is awesome.
• The storyline was okay - Random abductions and tinfoil hats - Klutzy gets abducted - Herbert asks for help.
• The alien puffles look great.
• It was fun to work your way around the maze in the dark in order to get the keys. (It's slightly harder to do so on the Club Penguin App so you have to spend more time playing.)
• The backgrounds we get after completing each challenge are nice.
• The party emotes are good and match the theme of the event.
• Herbert took the power supply and escaped leaving us with the question, what's he going to do next?

Negatives:

• So the EPF leave Herbert ALONE on a UFO. One question: Why? Why not keep Herbert in a secure place and get Klutzy for him?
• No replay value.
• More puffles.
• The Operation is more like Operation: Hot Sauce, a mini EPF event.
• There's not a lot of rooms decorated.
• Where's PH, the EPF agent who is the puffle expert?

Conclusion: Overall, I am going to rate Operation: Crustacean a 3.5/5!

Awesome!

By Phineas5501

I love EPF missions! On this party, I loved the actions of the mascots, really, Herbert and the JPG talking in a room was awesome, and was funny some things, for exemple, when he said the meteor of beautiful, or sometinh else. And the missions, cool and we can make many times. So, 5 for Operation Crustacean!

One of the best Operations so far

By Sparklord5

Alright, now that the hype train has got to it's destination I would like to review this party! First, the idea of it taking place in space isn't original, but hasn't been done that much before. I liked the idea of using the Extreme Paint Festival as a cover up for the EPF's workplace, we haven't had that since the Great Snow Race in 2011. The room designs so far have been pretty nice, supplying some EPF roleplaying and overall just look good. So, here's what I think: Music The music for this party is mostly reused, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Music has returned from the Future Party and Operation: Puffle, and both parties had good music. But this gets a 9.5 for not much original music. Non-member fairness Holy crud, this party is VERY fair to non- members! From the EPF Gear they can get an EPF Helmet, and even adopt an ALIEN PUFFLE! WOW!! That is awesome that non-members (like my friend) can adopt a new puffle! Sadly, the max for puffles has not been risen, so non-members can still only have 2 puffles. And that is a bummer if you've already adopted a blue and red one, because you'll have to release one :( So 9.5 here, but better than most parties of 2015. Also for completing the first task non-members can get a background but most backgrounds are for non-members anyway. Gameplay While the party so far is not much of a challenge (Review published on November 19, 2015) there are going to be more released every few days! That was a good idea by Club Penguin so you don't just go on, beat all the missions, then leave. The first mission is to get 3 keys in a dark room to get the back-up power running. Easy, but fun. Over the next few days more tasks will be released, so players can complete them. Plot The plot is that Herbert could not get Klutzy because he was in a UFO. The EPF has to help him get Klutzy, but once he does he steals the power source, a purple meteor. After that he then goes through the escape pod with Klutzy and gets away. I think it is interesting that he was looking for Klutzy, because I don't think that has been done much before. Overall good plot, good party.

That wraps up this review, when the Holiday Party 2015 comes I will review that too! - Sparklord5

Good Party!

By SquidKid3015

Another party calendar done right? Nevermind, let's get back to the review. (Also I'm sorry for not finishing my Halloween Party Review) The party is pretty good... but it has some negatives... SO, LET'S START THE PARTY! Positives:

• A well done calendar again. The Fashion Festival and the Halloween Party did the calendars right so you couldn't progress through the whole party in two seconds (*cough* Puffle Party 2015 *cough*), and the 10th Anniversary Party wanted you to wait for the items because of their old feel. This did the same thing as the Fashion Festival and the Halloween Party, and I like it!
• The story. It is a little bad, but it has that old Club Penguin story element, it gets better and better every piece of dialog you encounter, and I like the UFO setting also. Also, it may just be me, but the malfunctioning Garybot made a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the party RIGHT AFTER the Halloween Party was spaced theme? Nevermind, I might be looking too deep, let's move on!
• The puzzles. FINALLY DECENT PUZZLES IN CLUB PENGUIN SINCE THE CAVE MAZE! This should be a recurring theme in Club Penguin puzzles, don't make a silly puzzle possibly made by Papyrus! Make it dark and have 3 keys!
• The rooms. Though there aren't really that much main rooms decorated (seriously, the only decorated main room is the Dock), the Dock, Area 501, the Engine Room, and the Observatory are very detailed. Club Penguin Team did a good job with them.

Negatives:

• The lack of main rooms decorated. The Halloween Party, Fashion Festival, and the 10th Anniversary had so many main rooms decorated. This one how ever? Only 1. Only 1! ONLY 1! MAIN ROOM DECORATED! That's all I have to say!
• The rewards for completing the puzzle. Yeah, the first one was pretty cool until you get the others. They are just carbon copies with different colors!

So, I like the party. Good work Club Penguin Team!
