I'm disappointed that practically no one heard of this game at its release, despite the fact that it had commercials and everything. This was truly a very fun game to play. The story is very well thought out and it actually lasts you a long time. There's about 40 missions to beat and all of them are pretty hard to beat, especially some of the bosses. Anyway the story starts out as you (Glitch) being found out in a canyon by two droids. They take you back to HQ and you're repaired and then immediately placed into the battle field against the evil army (Forgot the name...) and General Corrosive. So you play through and you end up fighting the General, who is about 100 times your size XP The difficulty on this game was brutal. You get some pretty cool weapons and plenty of ammo, but you're pitted against impossible odds! The first major boss is the Zombie King, and the first time you face him the game gives you no hints at how you can even damage him. Plus you have a time limit to kill him! I had to look up a guide to beat him! Then the enemies! There are these things called Titans that are about 5 times your size, have gattling gun arms, and a shoulder mounted rocket launcher! At one point you're forced to face down about 3 of these guys with only a Control Tether and some grenades! The audio was cool. I loved the theme music and the voices were hilarious! The guy who plays Homer on the Simpsons lends his voice in as Crunk, the repair robot who constantly curses about everything and gets censored like crazy! "I can't jump that high! My head fell off! I swear there's always something wrong with you :censored: robots!" That's the funniest line in the entire game right there man... Controls were great. R for firing, and C for camera, and you can change your weapons easily on the fly, and this is all perfect for this game because you need to change your weapons like crazy! One moment you're fighting a grunt then a friggin Titan comes in and you're forced to face it down with nothing but the equivalent to an Uzi! So overall this game was really fun, but the difficulty was just harsh. I died more times than I can count because the enemies are insane and they never give up! They just keep shooting and screaming things at you, most of those things being pretty funny XP So I give this game an 8.5/10. Very fun, yet unneccesarily hard, game. |

Did you ever figure it out? It's really pretty easy once you know it, and I still do. Keep blasting the hell out of him until he stops moving and hangs his mouth open like an idiot. Then get out your slingshot and launch a grenade right into his mouth. You'll know if it worked if he howls in pain. After two times of doing this he'll summon his little zombie minions which you should kill with the Scatter Blaster. Then do the process to the Zombie King one or two times more and he'll die a horrible death. And if you found that guy hard, you should try facing down Corrosive with no weapons at all! He's about 500 times your size (his foot is bigger than you) and at one point you have to face him with no weapons. Of course you just end up tricking him by pretending to fall apart, but that part really scared the hell out of me the first time I did it. Now when you actually face him with weapons, he's a bitch to kill. The only way to win is if you have a fully leveled up rocket launcher, and even then it takes forever. You do get to hijack him though, which is really fun because you can squash all the enemies with a simple stomp with your foot. They also left the ending of the game open to a sequel, and I seriously hope that they do make one because this game was just really great. I wish they had some sort of hint system, though, because you get lost on what to do plenty of times. |

I got a used copy of this game from Larry today in perfect condition. The game is freakin CRAZY. The story is great, the dialouge is hilarious, and it has a good multiplayer. |
