Woody Two-Legs, from Paradox Interactive, is the sort of game that looks and sounds so unbelievably corny, that it’s hard to imagine it ever being good, or even half-way decent. However, Woody Two-Legs is quite the contrary. It’s obvious that Woody Two-Legs isn’t the epitome of game design and gameplay, but, at 5 dollars, it’s a game that asks for the perfect price for Woody two-legs image 1what it brings to the table.

Woody Two-Legs is a game starring a pirate who, ironically, has two peg-legs. Unfortunately, although the character is funny, for most gamers, it could make this game the type of thing players would avoid, but, under Woody’s superficial looks, lies a game that, at times, is quite funny, and, most of the time, is actually fun to play. The premise of the game itself is quite simple: kill your enemies, rack up points in any of the levels, or story mode, get on the leaderboards, feel proud of yourself and brag.

Woody Two-Legs does this through its simple gameplay: steer your ship with WASD and shoot either to the left of the ship or the right of the ship with the left or right arrow keys. It can be a little disorientating at first since it’s easy to forget that the ship’s left is not your left, but after some adjustment, Woody Two-Legs is, sometimes, challenging, and, if given the chance, can be quite fun.

At first, the entire game’s plot is so dreadfully campy that it can be an absolute turn-off, but, with time, the story might actually grow on you; you’ll laugh at the jokes and actually want to see what enemy Mr, Jones, the antagonist, is going to throw at you next in the earlier levels. Woody two-leg image 2The reason for this is, to keep this spoiler free, that the enemies you’ll fight aren’t all zombies. Sadly, even though, visually, the enemies are varied, in actuality, even if you aren’t fighting zombie pirates, they’re all just the, more or less, the same enemy, just with a different skin.

This game bills itself as a “casual score chasing arcade shooter,” and that’s exactly what it is. You’re given unlimited lives, unlimited ammo, and wave after wave of enemies to take down. The only real way to lose is to have all your gold taken away. Speaking of gold, Woody’s motivation is so unbelievably generic, that I actually found myself laughing not only with the game, but at the game itself.

 Our Rating for Woody Two-Legs: Attack of the Zombie Pirates Review (PC)
7.0
Replay
The leaderboards present in this game will most likely motivate many players to keep playing in order to best their own scores, and even the world’s score, but, some people aren’t motivated by leaderboards, so it may not appeal to everyone.
8.0
Graphics
Woody’s graphics are pretty good, not top of the line, but good for a $5 title, though some of the islands look ugly.
7.0
Sound
It’s got your typical pirate music, and some nice, though unrealistic, cannonball fire sounds. Not horrible, but not great either.
8.0
Gameplay
The gameplay can be a little disorientating at first, and the power downs can easily confuse someone, but if you stick through, the game really can become fun to play wave after wave.
3.0
Multiplayer
The leaderboards are pretty much this game’s only form of multiplayer, a local multiplayer mode, or an online mode would have been nice.
8.0
Overall
Woody Two-Legs does what it set out to do, and it does it well. It’s not the epitome of great game design or writing, but, for $5, one cant really go wrong by choosing to buy this game.
