The original and best talent in the "terrible video game business" does not disappoint here...
osopar15 June 2008
Who in this day and age hasn't been subjected to half-witted marketing schemes, especially in their younger years? And how often do these products that are being sold end up being a terrible economical decision on the consumer's part? Well, since you probably answered "nobody" and "lots of the time" to the above two questions, it's very easy to see why one of James Rolfe's earlier works has been watched by so many people.

To say the very least, Rolfe's material in this episode of "The Angry Video Game Nerd" is as humorous and original as all of the others. While most people can relate to the AVGN in one form or another (be it the fact that they play video games or that they can all appreciate that inner child of theirs) this episode adds another dimension to the spectrum; EVERYONE has been ripped off at one point or another. And most everyone has some small hatred for McDonald's restaurants...

The game play segments are just great, and where this particular episode really shines. From explaining the terrible level design, the blatant things that are ripped off from other video games, and a most anti-climactic ending, this episode is one of the better ones from Rolfe's gallery, and as long as you are not offended by crude language and toilet-oriented humor, I would definitely check it out. It definitely has proved that just because something has a popular name slapped on it, that doesn't mean that the product will be up to those same standards.

That is every name except for James Rolfe's of course...
