This game was created for PC´s by Arkadium and Radica, which create some good games, but this is one of their biggest works... And for some reason it got popular again in 2013-2014! So, is this a hidden gem of the early 2000s? Or is it a crappy game which takes money to play? Lets Find Out!
The Story
U.B Funkeys have a bunch of different stories. The 1st and main one is about Master Lox appearing in Funkeystown, unleashing the Henchmen which steal funkeys coins, and restricting access to all funkeys from the portals, which transport funkeys to one area to another. Now the funkeys have to gather the gemstones (Or whatever they are called now) to defeat the Henchmen and Master Lox. While this story is forgotten later in the game, and its quite simple, its ok for it to be simple, since the gameplay is what people always like. I can go on and on with the story, but then i would stray away from the main point of this game.

The Gameplay
When it comes to the gameplay, you need to buy funkeys in real life, however you really need a starter pack, which comes with the game disc, the Hub, which is designed like U.B, and 2 funkeys, and you can get more by buying them in stores. The main aspect of U.B Funkeys is exploring the world, playing games and using your coins taht you earn in games to decorate your crib, which is your home. There are some games which all funkeys can play, but most games can only be accesed by a funkey, and if you try entering a area without a funkey from said area, you wont be able to enter, this is why U.B Funkeys was so fun and made you collect all of the funkeys.

| Does not contain Hidden Realm or Paradox Green Series. |
They are 3 types of funkeys, Normal, Rare and Super Rare, the only thing in different is that they have a different color, give more coins while playing games, get more different items from shops and are harder to find in stores. The areas in the game are Funkeystown, where all funkeys can access, Magma Gorge, which looks like hell or some sort of volcanic area, Kelpy Basin, which is undersea, Laputta Station, which is intergalactic, advanced and in space, Funkiki Island, a tropical beach resort with a angry colony of pinapples whom i cant remember the names of them, DayDream Oasis, which is the world of good dreams, Nightmare Rift, the world of nightmares, The Speed Racer grandpix, which is based on the Speed Racer Franchise, Hidden Realm, based on china, where funkeys go to fight in the Oni Dojo, and Paradox Green, a peaceful area which got attacked by Henchmen 2.0, which are stronger versions of the original Henchmen.

| This was a game that could be played in solo or multiplayer. |
There were also chatrooms, which as the name implies, was used to chat with other funkeys, however since the game was discontinued, the chat rooms no longer work. Some games were multiplayer and could be played online, but again, the game got discontinued and it no longer works, tho you can still play those games in solo mode.
Overall, U.B Funkeys had a wide variety of things to do, and made it a lot of fun for everyone.

The Game Today
U.B Funkeys was discontinued around 2010, and then in 2013, the game sort of and out of nowhere recovered some popularity and lots of people started doing walkthroughts of the game! There were also some really rare funkeys like Dot which would go in Ebay and Amazon for crazy prices! Around the time U.B Funkeys was coming to a end, there was a speculated D.C Nation series coming, only a picture from the joker U.b Funkey was released and the series was never released. You can actually download the 4.8 of U.B Funkeys from this website! http://ubfunkeyseeme.weebly.com/download.html (You may need to set a few things on your PC in order to play it on windows 7 and higher, along with the HUB and maybe a few funkeys).
The Verdict
U.B Funkeys is a beautiful game with great minigames along with great visuals. I highly recommend you find and play it, as its a great experience for everyone.
