[quote name='Monsta Mack']I don't judge all my game purchases by reviews, but if this game got a 0 that means to stay FARRRRRRRR away. I might buy this game for 5-10 just to laugh at it or get good trade in credit somewhere.[/quote]
yeah, i read that article today, and i was really tempted to write a mean letter. Greg Orlando has issues.
First he tries to make a little joke about how the girl says, "whats the matter, dont you want to see titties?" and that the answer to this, the question of the ages, is "no." of course, he doesnt mention that you only hear that comment if you get 3 questions wrong *in a row*.
right off the bat, he doesnt want to look at nudity.
then he goes on to say that it is "poorly shot, poorly editted, poorly commentated footage". right. the video is fine. the jokes are actually *funny*, which is more than i can say for 95%+ games that TRY to be funny.
he also says its "40 minutes of bad trivia... which leaves you feeling like youre abusing retarded children". yeah, ok. one, he has no respect for women just because they take their shirts off, and two, thats really uncalled for in a magazine to make comments about retarded children. the trivia is as "bad" as You Dont Know Jack or even Trivial Pursuit, except with fewer shirts, and the girls are as "retarded" as anyone on that show Street Smarts. the entire second half of the game is guessing what incorrect answer the girl will get. the entire POINT was to ask them questions they would get wrong.
finally, and here is the real zinger, he blasts the game for not accomplishing what he assumes is its primary goal, being EROTIC.
some people just cant approach nudity without putting some huge emphasis on it. boobs are good. trivia is good. boobs plus trivia? hell, im sure the first guy who was told to have peanut butter with his chocolate thought it was odd too, but damn it, they both work just fine. its a fun game, and i hope they make a yearly series out of this. Girls Gone Wild is just smutty, The Guy Game is welcomingly goofy.
