![]() ![]() Almost every game they publish mixes great gameplay and design in a way that’s entertaining. Stylistic graphics not for everyone.īuy it?: If you’re looking for a funny game, but don’t mind stylized graphics grab Jazzpunk. What Sucks: Controls need customization, bad controller support. What’s Good: Fun sense of humor, lots of references to pop culture and old games. It’s stylized to a point of minimalism, think Katamari meets the Little People. (It could be that having a controller plugged in when I was first playing may have caused the settings to scramble.) If you’re really into graphical fidelity, you should skip this game. ![]() Just make sure to customize your settings when you first play. The controller support doesn’t map very well by default, and the basic keyboard controls are a little off as well. In the first level, to beat the security system you’ll need to play a Space Invaders clone, later on you’ll find mini-games based on other classics. Though the game is generally a first person adventure, there are scattered mini-games throughout. Every time you get a mission your boss ends up disappearing under his desk, and if you peek around you’ll see him laying right under the desk. ![]() There’s also humor built right into the game. The game is full of odd references to old games and other pop culture stuff. Jazzpunk would seem at home with the network’s brand of weirdness. That weirdness is likely why Adult Swim chose to publish it. If it sounds weird, well, it is, no doubt about it. You have to do things like collect spiders to throw in the face of a sushi chef so you can steal a blowfish, or follow a series of clues to meet with various agents before getting a pigeon to smuggle. You take on the role of a British secret agent mailed to Japan. Enter Jazzpunk, a game that combines crazy art, a fictionalized version of the cold war, and a wicked sense of humor. Arty indie titles can often take things a bit too far into the serious side of things, turning off people who are looking for games that are just simple and stupid fun. ![]()
