    The variety of stages and the variety of pranks is what makes Panic Maker such a fun experience. In what other game can you throw pies at a casino waitress, exorcize zombies and use spring loaded punching gloves to knock people into walls? The quirkiness of "Under the Skin" goes far.

    While some levels are a little staid, others, the Vegas-themed level and Racoon City in particular, are riotous, with the latter requiring you to steel a rampant Nemesis' coin stash. Charming as Cosmi's grin.

    Sure, it can get repetitive, but then again, with only a few maps to play on, this isn't a problem. Unfortunately the game suffers from lack of content, which is a crying shame; if it was longer or had more modes then I would have been over the moon.

    Well, it's not all that wild and/or wacky. In all actuality, it's kinda mundane and uninteresting.

    I LOVE THIS GAME! They should have more levels adapted from popular movies though and more funny and authentic levels. Please manufacture and market more games like this! Maybe a sequel under the skin 2!.… Expand
