If you dont take this game too seriously it'll be entertaining and enjoyable, This game does bring back some memories from the good old days of gaming (if you're old enough to remember them that is)..

If you've played games on the the ZX Spectrum, Amiga, Sega, Original Xbox & the PS1 then you'll laugh at some of the gags, If you're fairly new to gaming though you wont understand most of the in game one liners..

Good Points: Some bits are funny, Easy to get achievements or trophies.
Bad Points: Quicktime Movies with button press sequences that instantly suck the skill out of a game. repetitive gameplay, repetitive gags, can get boring after a while

This game is supposed to be a comedy / parody of retro action games, Some of aspects of the game are funny, but the repetitiveness soon puts a stop to the laughter, The main plot of the game focuses on Matt Hazard, a has been game character who is a mix of several older game characters, The main plot is to stop Matt Hazard from being erased from existance by the new boss of a games developer who when he was younger couldn't complete a Matt Hazard game, Now being older and in charge of the software developers he seems intent on erasing Matt Hazard from a new game and replacing him with a more modern and powerful character, As matt hazard you will travel through various scenarios on each level with the aim being to keep yourself from deleted forever, Luckily you have some help in the form of a female Computer techie who will help / guide you whenver she can, this help may be in the form of upgrades to weapons or armour..
This game isnt bad, but its still a long way from being good, this is mainly due to the repetitive gameplay that has you entering a room, kill the cloned baddies, then enter another room, kill more cloned baddies, go to another room, rinse and repeat etc, the repetitiveness doesn't stop at the gameplay, you also have to endure Hazards gags more than once..
Dont take this game seriously and you may find it entertainingThis game is now selling for around £7.99 (Play.com)So its well worth buying for the Gamerscore or Trophies..
