    The episode is brimming with pop culture references that range from The Color Purple, Se7en, The Shining, and even Samuel Adams beer.

    If you like Homestar Runner and Strong Bad and the Cheat and so on and so forth, there is no reason why you should not get this game. You'll love it, trust me.

    Strong Bad Ep.5 is also the least linear of all the games in the series.

    I think Strong bad sum the game up in the first minute: "Fan... Service?" The final episode of the season has nearly everything that was left out of the past four. Every bit of fan service, right down to the most satisfying ending I could ever ask for. The subjects covered not only relate to the web-site, but even brings up other locational that most fans that will have to use the Wiki to understand.… Expand

Not Trogdor strong, but pretty close. 85Gaming Target With its rampant hilarity and imaginative puzzles, 8-Bit is Enough is a great capstone to the Cool Games for Attractive People series. 84Cheat Code Central 8-Bits Is Enough offers a satisfying conclusion rife with gaming nostalgia and Strong Bad’s trademark ridiculousness. While it’s hard to say whether Telltale and the Chapman bros will eventually cook up another batch of gaming episodes, surely there are plenty more absurd adventures worth exploring. 831UP Maybe it's the spot-on humor based on the industry I work in, or perhaps just accumulated experience from the earlier episodes, but whatever the reason, 8-Bit Is Enough certainly embodies the maxim of saving the best for last. Well, until the assumedly in-the-works second season rolls around. 75Gaming Nexus 8-Bit Is Enough is a surprisingly slow-to-start but satisfying capstone to an eclectic first season for Homestar Runner and friends. 70Adventure Gamers It’s still a little shallow in the gameplay department, but right down to the closing credits, it’s a lovingly thorough ode to retro games, and an amusing final adventure with some of the most colorful, acerbic, and silly characters you’ll ever virtually meet. If you can appreciate those things, then consider this game more than worthy of its pixels. 70Jolt Online Gaming UK Shows an obvious fondness by the game’s creators for classic videogames, but that’s not really represented in the gameplay, which has sadly run its course here. 45Destructoid Strong Bad Ep.5 is also the least linear of all the games in the series.
