    If you are a fan of the show, and I mean a very large fan, then you owe it to yourself to check out this amazingly funny diversion.

    Zombie Ninja Pro Am offers both bad graphics and gameplay, but it revels in its shoddy qualities as if to say, "Hell yes, we're bad. We're super bad!"

    Unless you've got a bunch of ATHF fans over and some way to get altered, the game really is an utter waste of time. It can be a hilarious waste of time (Meatwad's caddy pep talk was brilliant), but a waste none the less.

    Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Zombie Ninja Pro-Am will put you through four hours of gameplay, and the end result is a few amusing moments, but a whole lot more frustrating ones. Honestly, the material here would have made a better episode rather than game.

    It's a surprisingly silent, boring affair, and you're probably better off just watching the ATHF clips with your pal, or one of the four full episodes included on the disc (one of which has never been aired, and is awesome).

    Not half as bad, apparently, as the new "Simpsons Game."

    Fans might be able to eke some pleasure from this game despite the overwhelming flaws. Anyone else likely won’t be able to see past the repetitive, irritating gameplay, frustrating camera, and broken controls.
  8. Worth Playing
    45
    This pile-on of additional content, combined with a $30 price, makes Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Zombie Ninja Pro-Am a surprisingly good value if, and only if, you enjoy the show.
  9. GamingTrend

    The glaring use of 8-bit menus and what seems to be very low effort produce a game with any depth or redeeming qualities.
  10. GameDaily

    If you love the antics of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, consider yourself warned -- Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is a bland affair. You get a subpar (no pun intended) golf game, a lame cart-racing game and heaping amounts of monotonous combat.

    I'll make this easy for you: The controls are crummy, the graphics are terrible, the humor mostly falls flat, there aren't very many levels, the mini-games get in the way of the outdated golf mechanics and it's absolutely no fun to play.

    My take-home message is this: do NOT buy this game if you aren't a big fan of the show. There is absolutely nothing here for you. If you do enjoy the show, still do NOT buy it. Rent it for the few hours it takes to experience the game and watch the included episodes, then don't think about it ever again.

    And to finish it off, this game is just awful. That’s a shame, really, since I had hoped it would turn out acceptable.
  14. GameSpot

    Just because a game seemingly aims to be bad on purpose doesn't make it any less of a bad game.

    We struggled to find the punch line in this abomination of half-assed execution and complete disregard for modern gameplay innovations.
  16. Gamers' Temple

    You're better off just buying an ATHF DVD if you want to watch episodes at home. At least they don't come with a game.

    Even diehard fans of the Adult Swim cartoon will have an extremely hard time jjustifying a $30 novelty purchase, because that's the best this game could hope to be. [Jan 2008, p.86]

    While some games sell the cheese-factor and are still fun, Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is just plain bad with nothing at all to counterbalance all the negatives.

    Like a near-death experience, bad games can provide us with a vision of the other side, a gamer’s hell filled with E.T. games and 3DOs. A bad game serves to reminds us why good games are so good, and they cleanse the palette and bring us back to the zero-point of solid game development. If you haven’t guessed already, Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is one of those terrible, terrible games.

    This is most certainly not a bad golf game. It was a solid and rather funny game that kept me entertained through the entire experience. While it does get a bit repetitive, the overall golfing, combat, and racing segments are well done and are really fun. This game even includes four episodes from the show and unlockable goodies. Honestly, at least rent this game because it really is not bad.… Full Review »

    Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is far from a great game. Hell, it's far from a good game. It's many flaws outweigh the occasional chuckles you'll get from it. You play 9 holes of golf and 3 levels of cart racing. The problems begin with the control. The actual golfing is about as bare bones as any golf game can get. You can choose between a limited number of clubs, aim and swing using a seemingly broken swing meter. After every swing, you have to trek your way to where you hit the ball and face a plethora of various enemies seen from the show. Carl's crabs, trees, the Mooninites, mechanical scorpions armed with rockets, Turkitron and the list goes on. As entertaining as it is to see all of these seemingly minor characters get to make an appearance, these combat sections are about as repetitive as it can get, and worst of all, these segments make up the majority of the game. You can switch between controlling Master Shake, who uses melee combat as his primary attack, and Frylock, who uses projectiles. Though you acquire a decent selection of weapons throughout the game, they all more or less do the same thing with some weapons doing a bit more damage. This doesn't make the combat any less repetitive. When you tread your way through countless enemies and finally make it to the green, there's always some sort of boss battle before you're able to putt. These boss battles are hit or miss. Some are absolutely terrible (Carl, the mummy), and others are downright entertaining (MC P Pants, Gorgotron) and require the most thought this game will ever ask from you, which isn't very much. The cart racing levels honestly aren't that bad. I've seen a lot of complaints saying that the Frat Aliens you race are always behind you and every race ends in a close call, but this wasn't true in my experience. There are speed boosts and bazookas scattered throughout the race track, and if you learn to navigate these tracks while picking up as many of these power-ups as you can, then you can win these races by a mile. The control, again, is a problem here. Though I said the races aren't that bad, they're brought down by slippery control. If you take off of a jump at slightly the wrong angle or get hit with a rocket, you spin uncontrollably and this can easily cause you to lose any chance you had of winning the race, which can become incredibly frustrating at times. ATHF:Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is far from the worst game I've ever played, but I'd never call it good. The best things about it are it's great extras/unlockables, unmistakable humor and the sheer ridiculousness of it all, but even so, this will only appeal to fans of the show. If you really like ATHF, then definitely give this game a look. If not, don't even touch it. I can say it was worth the 10 bucks I spent on it, but if I hadn't recognized every character/enemy I came across, I would have hated this game with a passion.… Full Review »
