Hmm…where to start? For a game with such a bizarre title, it’s actually rather good. In my opinion, it’s very similar to the Quake series, for example, the rocket launcher and the shotgun both reduce the enemies to some meaty chunks on the floor. In the demo I downloaded, there are a variable selection of weapons, from a chainsaw to a sniper rifle. There’s a point. Picking up the chainsaw just after beginning the demo will trigger a phrase:
“Look ma, Ah’m a lumberjack!”, which I find rather amusing. The environments are almost fully destructible, as you can cut down, or just annihilate trees at the start of the level. Croteam made one hell of a game out of this. Gameplay consists of frenzied running around, blasting anything that moves. They created a vast array of enemy races, which are both original and unoriginal at the same time, if that makes sense. Every time you kill an enemy, details about the species are added to a computer, accessible from the game screen, along with information about the area the character is in, the weapons he owns and the current mission objectives. There is also an online feature, but that wasn’t accessible in the demo. I have not yet made it to the end, I quit because I had to review the game, not just play it all the time. Once I write this, I should have no problem playing through the game.
Croteam overuse the ‘serious’ gag. The difficulties ingame are: Tourist (Errr….get lost and ask for money?) Easy (yes, very.) Medium (I always saw that as a burger size) Hard (Need I say it?) and Serious. Yeah. Clicking the Quit button triggers a dialog box: “Are you serious?”
That word can get a little old. And run into the ground. Stop saying it, it’s getting a little muddy.

I suppose I’d better rate the game too. 8/10. Seriously.
