Regardless of what anyone thinks of the gameplay I have to imagine that this will go down with many as one of the funniest games ever made, as its an increadabley amusing little title.
Twisted Pixel seem to be now known for making quite polished downloadable titles so its no suprise this is no different, the voice acting is awesome and the comic book presentation is really well done, the way they use it in some of the levels is very cool. However graphicaly i dont feel its quite as good looking as Splosion man, but maybe thats becuase its just more visualy ambitious so it ends up showing the limitations of its low production values slightly more.
The gamplay is whats most important though i suppose and this is a bit of a mixed bag I feel, but still a very enjoyable one. Although theres quite a bit of variety to it a large segment of the game is run and gun style gameplay that is split up by short semi-onrails type sections, I have to wonder if the developers are big fans of the games of Treasure becuase it all comes across as a very comical mix of Gunstar Heroes and Sin and Punishment, not that thats a bad thing. It has to be said though that the on rails bits arent exactly mind blowing and infact there are certain instances were obstacles are virtualy impossible to avoid as the camera dosent let you see them until they hit you in the face. The side scrolling bits are much better though and are alot of fun, its quite a challenging game but much like the game I feel it takes its inspiration from there are plenty of checkpoints so it never feels too hard.
Outside the main game there seems to be lots of replay value in earning cash through its increadabley tough challenge missions (where one hit kills you and ends the challenge) and its fun just walking around the main hub and listening to all the great characters funny dialogue.
Overall there is alot to like about it, even though a large chuck of that is down to the fact that its full of so many funny moments (for instance the
is genius) and I have to recommend it just for that alone really.
