Wasn't expecting too much from this, but I just spent the last hour or so catapulting a man into buildings, explosives, giant bowling balls, passing trains, zimmer frame granny and a mime.
Made me giggle.
Was happy to find that the mechanics have a bit more depth than I imagined (sling your character and hope for the best). After sending your guy grannywards, you use the left analog stick to direct your character. Pushing forwards will give you extra distance whereas pulling back will decrease. Whilst in the air you can earn extra points by adding a 'Style' pose to your combo, such as doing a Superman flying pose and holding it for 3 seconds (there's a bum first pose, which you are ocassionally rewarded with a nice fart noise). During a successul collision you have the option to grab and hold onto an object (Triangle to grab above, X to grab below, Square to grab left etc), you seem to be able to grab onto almost anything from the road (using his finger nails?), people and a massive bowling. The bowling ball is located on the top of a tall building in the distance and if you grab it, the find that your adventure will end right down the street being run over by a car, and if you leave it a bit more (even though your aren't moving anymore) a truck may come along and run your over too, adding further points to your score. If you're lucky, the truck may send you into an explosive object which will kickstart you into further painful dramatics
You can also use grab to pick up explosive crates during flight and let go of them during impact to add a bit more boom to your landing. Lastly, during impact of objects you have a few last nudges of control to try to help you further your score using the 'Oooh' meter. This is basically four extra nudges you can use to bounce your character further and hoefully hit an explosive crate or something. You can get extra powerful 'Oooh' by shaking the controller briefly until you see the 'Oooh' meter logo turn ito flames.
There are a shed load of trophies (achievements) to aquire, from simply hitting your first granny, doing damage to your man bits all the way to scoring mega millions.
The aim of the game is simple. Aim, launch and use aftertouch in order rack up a high score. Fun for short burst gaming and well worth a fiver ($9.99).
