Summary
When Strong Bad fails to obey the King of Town's totally unfair email tax, he's placed under house arrest. Once freed from his wrongful imprisonment, Strong Bad goes on a mission to unite the local warring factions under the Strong Badian flag. Is Free Country USA ready for such an awesome ruler?

Strong Badia the Free is a great follow-up to Homestar Ruiner. The storyline is easier to follow, the jokes are tighter, and the puzzles are more challenging and intriguing.

Episode 2 is so well written, funny and enjoyable you'll gladly submit to the domineering, steel toed boot of your new red masked overlord.
Read Full Review >Armchair Empire
It’s definitely shorter than the first episode, but more than makes up for it with way more witty banter and thoroughly enjoyable gameplay with more satisfying puzzles than in the first episode.
Read Full Review >GameZone
With this episode, Strong Bad’s Cool Game 4 Attractive People has gone from niche product to required playing for any fan of adventure gaming.
Read Full Review >My Gamer
Strong Bad Episode 2 is actually a very good game that is overly easy and entirely too short.
Read Full Review >1UP
The main quest is entertaining enough to justify the $9 or $10 investment (based on your platform of choice), but the new and revised bonus elements really make Strong Badia the Free a comprehensive experience.
Read Full Review >IGN
As with the first episode, Strongbadia the Free offers a few very enjoyable hours of pointing and clicking for fans of Homestar Runner. If you're not a fan you're probably going to be lost -- which is why you should head over to the official website right now and start catching up.

The fresher elements improve on the firmly established vibe and gameplay, making this a solid follow up episode.

Although Strong Badia the Free is a shorter episode than Homestar Ruiner, it’s more perfectly formed.
Read Full Review >Thunderbolt
Strong Badia the Free takes the episodic series from a shaky opening and brings it onto solid ground. I still think that there's a lot more that they can do with the series, but I feel like the game is now a serious part of the Homestar Runner universe, which will lead to hopefully some really great stuff.

Funny and smart, but for a weak ending. So far, so good. [Dec 2008, p.92]
PC Zone UK
Strong good humour. [Dec 2008, p.77]
Destructoid
Strong Badia the Free is mostly made up of all new environments, so it in no way felt like a simple recycling of Homestar Ruiner, and while the game's structure of "convert a country, to move to the next country" makes it inherently more predictable than Homestar Ruiner was, it's still full of surprises.
Read Full Review >Gaming Nexus
With a flair lifted from the Second World War’s propagandized news flashes, Strong Badia the Free stands at attention already as the series’ high point -- and we’re only two-fifths of the way into season one. Along with the famed Sam & Max series, Telltale Games is single-handedly ushering in a renaissance for the adventure genre.
Read Full Review >PALGN
A tighter and more interesting instalment than the first episode, and a step in the right direction for this oddball series.
Read Full Review >PC Format
Assuming that the humour clicks with you. This is a first episode as awesome as the Bad of Much Strong himself. [Nov 2008, p.109]
GameSpot
Improved gameplay structure makes for a markedly better--and funnier--second episode.
Read Full Review >Adventure Gamers
All told, the second episode of Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People includes a little more talking and lot more collecting than Homestar Ruiner, with the same marginal amount of small-scale puzzling in between.
Read Full Review >Game Chronicles
In the end, if you are reading this review, you’re probably curious about the game because you’re a fan of the website. 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.
