Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People might
sound like a ridiculous name if you're not a fan of the web cartoon
Homstarrunner.com, but if you're a fan then the name is on par with
the over the top humor of the popular website. Fans will be happy to
know SBCG4AP is one of those few games that not only delivers good
gameplay, but it’s a prefect representation of the website.
This game not only brings the cartoon to life in a 3D space, but the
amount of content makes it a collector item for fans and an amazing
refresher course for returning fans.
The moment Strong Bad's
Cool Game For Attractive People starts you'll be transported into a
game that resembles the Homestarruner website so you might think
you're still on the website. From here on out you're brought right
into the middle on the Homestarrunner world as you guide the luchador
mask, boxing glove wearing Strong Bad through an epic adventure.
This impressive story starts like any cartoon featuring Strong Bad,
as he opens his email. As Strong Bad answers his email he is simply
asked...Why hasn't Strong Bad beaten up Homestar Runner? These
questions send you and Strong Bad on a quest to finally put the
heroic Homestar in his place. This is a perfect task for the sinister
Strong Bad.
As
the adventure starts Strong Bad leaves his house of Strong too find
Homestar. As you pull out your map, you must place the location
of Strong Bad's home. The map is one of the most used items and will
allow you to quickly jump to different areas. As you speak to
Homestar you discovery that he is getting ready to compete in the
"Race to the End of the Race." You also learn that a party
at Homestar's girlfriend Marzipan's house will follow the race in
Homestar's honor. It's now up to you to cause Homestar to lose but,
in doing so you will cause your own dilemmas. As the story progresses
Strong Bad is shown as a dynamic character, instead of just a loud
mouthed jerk as he is in most of the web-toons. This quest will have
you interacting with every character in the Homestarrunner world.
From the Bubs at the concession stand to the King of Town, every
member of the cartoon is there.
As good as the story is
,
the extras are just
as amazing. Not only
will you get to play a full Strong Bad adventure, you will also get
to create an episode of the cartoon inside of a cartoon, called "Teen
Girl Squad". You also play the mini game Snake Puncher. Looking
at this game, it's surprising that it's the first episode of a
series; I only hope this amount of content can continue with the
series.

Through out this journey you will venture through
almost every area of the Homestar World. While the entire world isn’t
unlocked it's represented. It's shocking how much content there is
packed into a game that seems like it would be so much smaller. With
hours of game play and an extensive amount of fan related content,
this game isn't just a must have for fans of the Homestar cartoon,
it's a must have for anyone interested in a well
-made
episodic series.
Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People is the
perfect example of what a download-able game should be. It creates an
environment that's compelling for fans and it doesn't alienate
newcomers, it easily receives a 9 out of 10.
