  1. Action-RPG fans will certainly have fun with this release, although it's similar to the original, and if you're into thongs and "role-playing" then this game is a win-win.

    It's just as addictive, just as pretty, and I dare say it's even a little funnier.

    DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue is no doubt more of the same stuff but it's a more of the same we like because it's damn fun. To make things crystal clear, if you enjoyed the previous installment you will also love DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue regardless of dejavu feelings, but if you didn't go crazy about the franchise before, you will not change your mind. The overall quality is just the same, excellent as much as cheap: a solid, lengthy 6-8 hours adventure, tad harder than before but even more fun.
  4. The fantasy setting of the first game has been tweaked...but it's still the same crisply imagined carnage we already love. [Issue#51, p.109]

  1. i loved the first one and the second one is great. but with more of the same i did run into it feeling overly repetitive and haven't finished it yet. i will one day be in the mood for a good dose of deathspank and finish it but maybe it was too soon for more of this. love it still though no complaints on gameplay or graphics, which i love, or sound. story is hilarious as ever and the new weapons and upgrades so feel different but in the end it was just more of the same so did get a bit boring. still one of the absolute best DLgames out there. if it all came as one package i wouldn't have thought twice about paying full price for a disk version so in my opinion it's a bargain too for what you get. unlik most DLgames it take more than a couple hours to complete!
