Long live the King!

I believe there was one huge misconception to this game.. and it was that people didn't get it. This isn't a game you take seriously, and it's not meant to blow you out of the water. When you went to McDonald's and ordered a Happy Meal as a kid, how did your complimentary toy hold up with all your other toys. It didn't. It can't. Much the same, Sneak King is meant as a cheesy novelty. But the game serves its purpose. It's cheap, it's funny, and it has some replay value. Above all, you're the freaking king! The SNEAK KING...

This alone may be the game's biggest coolest aspect. They finally devoted a game to the King. We all know and love him in the ridiculous commercials where, supposedly, waking up with another guy in your bed isn't all that bad, especially if he's got some delicious treats for you. If I woke up to the King, I'd be a bit skeptical. But if he was holding a Quad Stacker for me to get-my-chew-on with.. I can only fathom. Criticism of game aside, the King is boss. And he's already got 3 games devoted to him. How many games are devoted to you?

Anyway, in the game, you're mission is simple. The name of the game is stealth as you tiptoe around various surroundings, attempting to deliver hot sandwiches to hunger-ailing citizens. Wait for their hunger to mount and you'll receive a Whopper-sized score for your royal antics. But beware, as the starved have a (hilariously weak) peripheral vision. They'll no longer focus on their empty stomachs, but be completely amused by a King sneaking around in broad daylight. You can also hide virtually everywhere. Your surroundings are filled with opportunities for surprise. Patience and timing are key, but pulling off the successful sneak is just as rewarding as any Chicken Fry meal.

The game's stages are filled with side missions. These missions are based on how fast you deliver, or how cool the delivery is. Some missions are actually frustrating, but one smile from the King and your woes will surely disappear. And who can argue with the game's moral? Nobody dies (although the occasional person will pass out from hunger) and there isn't a single act of violence. It's just you and the King and doing the right thing.

In the end, you get what you paid for. Some gamers have managed to pull a lot more out of the game. It's hilarity at its best. Those with even a shred of a sense of humor will appreciate the game. Apparently, this game is being featured in the Best and Worst of 06 and I'm willing to bet it's not on the "Best" list. So haters of all things funny, you'll be glad to see this game take the walk of shame. It's all gravy though, as the King's got better things to do than be judged. And when your hunger pains strike, and unconciousness draws closer, you may just thank your lucky stars the King is on the prowl if he surprises you with a steamy BK JOE.
