Phineas and Ferb is an American animated musical-comedy television series created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh for Disney Channel and Disney XD. Produced by Disney Television Animation, the series was originally broadcast as a one-episode preview on August 17, 2007, and again previewed on September 28, 2007; the series officially premiered on February 1, 2008, on Disney Channel, and ran until June 12, 2015.

The program follows Phineas Flynn and his stepbrother Ferb Fletcher, who are between eight and ten years old, during summer vacation. Every day, the boys embark on a grand new project, which is usually unrealistic in scale given the protagonists' ages (and are sometimes physically impossible). This annoys their controlling older sister Candace, who frequently tries to reveal their shenanigans to her and Phineas' mother, Linda Flynn-Fletcher, and less frequently to Ferb's father, Lawrence Fletcher. The series follows a standard plot system; running gags occur in every episode, and the subplot almost always features Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus Perry working as a spy named "Agent P" for the O.W.C.A. (Organization Without a Cool Acronym) to defeat the latest scheme of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a mad scientist driven largely by a need to assert his evilness (although he is not genuinely evil and has a good heart in certain situations). The two plots intersect at the end to erase all traces of the boys' project just before Candace can show it to their mother, which usually leaves Candace very frustrated.

Phineas seems to be getting a strong nostalgic following these days. There obviously had to be some licensed games for it. What better way to do that than to release this game on both the Wii and PS3, since they had to utilize the motion controls of both consoles. Even better. There was a movie called Across the 2nd Dimension. Wouldn't that make the perfect tie-in? Also, out of all companies, they had High Impact Games develop it. Some employees were from Insomniac Games from Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Spyro, and Spider-man fame, and utilized mechanics from those games to make this. Is this your standard shovelware, or did I uncover a super cheap wii hidden gem? Find out here.
