I'm really enjoying myself for the most part. Okay so I played about 8 hours of this last weekend finally. I enjoyed the interview on Gamasutra as well, cheers Chris! Not a major disaster but could have been better. It's OK if you think of it as a bonus addition (I didn't realise you could until it I got in the game) but there's no choice of weapons, armor or items etc for the 2nd player and it left my girlfriend feeling a bit left out as the main player has to do all the interactions. One more thing in case people want to know: the Co-op feels a bit tacked on. It's all a bit of silly fun really and just what I need after playing a bunch of more serious story-based games. The adventure puzzle bits are nice too if slightly under-used. I thought Deathspanks voice and the whole cartoon feel might annoy me after a while but it's has actually grown on me.
The areas are pretty varied and so are the enemies (I'm currently battling Bearalopes and Kangamoos) and the quests are most of the time amusing in some way and on occasion laugh out loud funny. The world's really nice and stylized and the music and look combined remind me a lot of Pyschonauts. I'm enjoying the various power ups and weapons but I haven't quite figured out the combo multiplier yet. It took a while but the combat actually has a lot more to it than it first appears if a little limited in areas. I played a load over the weekend and it's sucked me in.
