  1. The environments themselves seem to be their own joke and each have their own additional personality, which really makes them fun to explore.
  2. The series premiere set the ball rolling nicely, but Episode Two picks up the uproarious humor and killer story and runs with it.
  3. Chiefly a 10-hour version of one of the comic strips, with all that implies.
  4. It's a funny game, it's a better game than its predecessor and there are certainly worse ways to spend four or five hours. Episode Two nudges the series up from Just Okay to Actually Pretty Good. Let's hope that the third instalment continues the trend.

    Just as fun as the first, if not more. Clever humor, of course... and the refinements to the combat system and the story are quite fun. I don't usually go for RPGs, but the Penny Arcade brand of adventure/RPG/whatever keeps me quite amused. Well worth it. Expand
