    Wonderful visual style and art, sci-fi futuristic theme, it's funny and entertaining, just like the previous two games in the series. The core mechanics are almost the same.The combat is satisfying, there is a new blocking feature, which at least in my opinion is not that useful. The boss fights are somewhat frustrating, but manageable.

    Really cool action game with tongue in cheek humour. Only negative thing I have from deathspank games is that they are all too short.

    The world needs more games like this.

    Death Spank is still the action figure you love to have at your birthday party. He is quite funny but is obviously slowly heading towards retirement. [Oct 2011]

    Good gags can't save this game from its repetitive combat and bland RPG-lite nature. [Nov 2011, p.126]

    The game is repetitive but its ingenious absurd humor can keep you in front of the screen. [October, p.73]
