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.

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.
