Episode two of five is out and about and in typical Strong Bad fashion it’s lighting fires...well everywhere. If you’re not a fan of the Homestar Runner site and comic series, it doesn’t matter. Strong Bad’s, at times low brow, humor and feelings of self-importance are liberally sprinkled throughout the second installment of the series, just as it was in the first. So even if it’s your first exposure to him you can jump right in with both cotton-covered fists and start taking swings.
Let’s face it this is not a game of amazing graphical splendor, it is not a game of mind-boggling sounds. This is Strong Bad, Homestar and the rest of the gang and it’s simply brilliant. It is exactly what we have come to expect from Telltale Games when they set their mind to a
license of this nature.
The game naturally follows on to the first episode and promises several more hours of good-natured fun and excitement. Of course if you haven’t played the first don’t worry, it’s not a pre-requisite to pick up and play Episode 2.
Of course you do get to interact with a long list of other characters from the series and the storyline is engaging and keeps you wanting to move forward and see it through to the end. There were even times when I found myself laughing out loud because of the antics of the protagonist.
