More complicated than the other episodes, and full of retro game in-jokes and homages. Sat and completed it in more or less one sitting. Amazing! The only bad thing is that there are no episodes left now 🙁
I only started playing it this morning, but already it’s completed. It wasn’t shorter than previous episodes, just a little easier and I had quite a bit of play on it throughout the day. It was different to previous episodes in that you’re acting out a film that Strong Bad has made, called Dangeresque 3. A badly made film, of course. As a result, all the usual locations in the game have been repurposed as bits of set, and all …
Hurrah! I’m winner! This episode was, in general, easier than the previous two. I don’t know why, unless I’m just more closely tuned now to the way the logic in the game works or something. Anyway, second best episode so far. With the order being 1 > 3 > 2. But they’re all ace.
I’ve actually had this installed on my Wii since before Christmas, but hadn’t played it as I was goingt o use it as a baby-in-one-hand, controller-in-the-other last resort sort of thing, since it only requires one hand to play. I started it on Friday, and it’s nice to play Strong Bad again. It’s funny, like before, and each episode so far has been vastly different, so although all the characters and locations recur, it’s not a rehash of the same …
And quickly, too. It seems that reading the Help that comes with the board game thing actually helps, as it tells you that a fight that results in a draw means the opposing side can’t move. With this, I used The Cheat to prevent Strong Mad from moving, Homsar to ground Strong Sad, Coach Z to distract Homestar, and The Poopsmith to hide The King of Town every move. In 9 moves, I’d won both the battle, and the game. …
OK, so I managed to convince both Pompom and Homsar to join my country, leaving Homestar and Strong Mad. Strong Mad had me puzzled for ages, until I realised what to do with my sword, and then he gave me something I could use to rig the Draft Wheel making Coach Z join the Homestarmy. So, with the army assembled and all the countries joined as one, I became King of Town! Only now I don’t want to be any …
Hurrah! I convinced both The Cheat and Strong Sad to join my country! Turns out all The Cheat needed was pilot’s badge, and then he gave me his lighter, which I used to torch everything Strong Sad owned, pretty much. Now I’m stuck again, having no idea how to impress Pompom, or how to converse with Homsar.
Yes, I downloaded Episode 2. After Episode 1, I couldn’t just leave it, could I? No, of course not. The plot of this one is that everyone in town has set up their own country. It seems that I have to get them all to become part of Strong Bad’s empire – Strong Badia. I’m yet to manage this though, having not persuaded anyone to join. It’s still funny though!
Um, yes. I would say “already”, but it did take about 5 hours. It’s just I’ve played it a lot. And excellent it was too. I finally figured out how to beat Pompom, and the section in the castle was all sorts of amaze. And the snake game is fantastic in its crapness.
I love point and click adventures, and I had a load of spare Wii points from when I bought Mega Man 9. So it was only a matter of time before I bought SBCG4AP (as the game refers to itself as). And? It is amazing. Very few games are genuinely funny, and fewer still are actually hilarious, but this? This is real actual side splittingly funny. I was aware of Strong Bad (the web “thing”), but knew very little about …
