Funny does not even scrape the descriptive surface of this game.

My friend yet again showed me this game on one of those weekly visits. It was funny, so much so that I actually bought it.

This was one of those really good side-scrolling beat 'em ups that certainly was entertaining whether you're playing it alone or with friends. And what better way of "co-oping" with friends. Or rather what better way to fall out with them when you have a princess to nick off...erm I mean... rescue.

The music was good and catchy for a game of this calibre. The character design, exceptional. It proves the sheer hilarity of it all. Even better was the blood and gore to highlight the ridiculousness. While the game was simply difficult, to try even the playing field; the items you can have, the animal orbs, each with its own abilities and the leveling system with combo moves unlocked. Also each character has its own magics or non-magics it their disposal.

There have been good boss fights but unfortunately, my other friend and I couldn't complete the last stages. When playing co-op you can even do mouth to mouth resuscitation on your allies, but personally it's too difficult on two player. It's also good in that way that you can say no to your friend just prior to beating a boss and grabbing loot and princess.

This is one of the few games that actually have the game developers as cameos, the alien hominid space ship stage to your far left. This game is sheer genius.
