Ah, I miss this game! Great fun mucking around exploring and killing. The 2 main characters suited their role perfectly and it was mad fun from all the improvised weapons! I wish they'd bring this one to steam :) 8/10.
played this **** when it came out in 1997
crude graphics compensated by laugh out loud hillbilly humor
farting, belching, getting drunk, eating pork rinds
finding secret rooms, as much as unleashing carnage
good times
There's something undeniably charming about running around, eating pies, drinking beer and blowing seven shades of **** out of the bad guys with a boomstick. The game is a little bit rough around the edges and some of the gameplay and design choices are a little lazy (only 3 or 4 enemy types for instance), but if you can look beyond that, you'll notice a game with a lot of character and appeal and something that really is one of a kind.
Level design in this game is just plain horrible. In majority of levels to proceed you're pretty much forced to find something, what in other game would be considered a secret area. This begins in the first level with cracked silo you need to blow up and reaches it's peak in map sixth, where you need to find some extremely well-hidden button to get out the sewers.
It's really too bad, because some of those maps are pretty well designed when it comes to atmosphere and visuals. Map with tornado gives you a really comfortable feeling while exploring all of those trailers, farms looks like farms and bars look like bars. They offer you nice views and atmosphere, but in majority they are unplayable, because you will get stuck at some point.
Animations are awful, enemies are boring, annoying and number of their types is very limited. Weapons are ok, I guess, but there's nothing special about them.
Additionally, the game crashes in the last level after encountering the final boss.
And eventually, after making through all those awfully designed levels, killing laggy animation enemies with equally laggy weapons, you can see a cinematic, which quality is worse than the ones you could have seen in Blood (I didn't even know it's possible).
tl;dr This game is the worst build game I've played - it could have been meh or even good, nothing special, but something that could easly get 5-6 bars, but level design completely killed it and made it unplayable. Avoid it like plague, unless you want to get stuck on stupid obligatory secret search every level.
