- The Bottom Line:
- "Disastrous"
First up, the graphics have some charm, and are imbued with an obnoxious amount of forced, puerile humour, but all in all, are uninspired, unremarkable, and unflattering - which, in a way, is a very good thing, because they hint at the gameplay yet to come. Secondly, if you do, against all good judgment, buy this game, for the love of god, turn your speakers off! Because - unless you want to hear what hell sounds like - it WILL, as Dane Cook said, make you want to punch an infant. Lastly, the gameplay is ridiculously bad. It's about as fresh and original as Frogger, only more frustrating.
On the whole, a waste of life for those who've played it, and doubly so for those who made it. The whole purpose of the game was to be funny and satirical, but the only thing about it that comes even close is the fact that a so-called "acclaimed" game designer made it.

Nice idea, but a bit undone. Maybe if they had worked on it a bit more. Continue »
