Here is the latest video released for Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am for the PS2.
Drew Leachman writes: The From A to Z series lets our editors go back and take a look at games from past generations that are classics, overlooked gems, or just titles they remember fondly. The idea behind this is to pick five games from each letter of the alphabet, once a week to showcase. This delivers 26 weeks and 130 games to talk about. Hopefully it sparks some conversation, and of course plenty of memories.
Our second series will focus on Sony’s sophomore entry into the console business, the PlayStation 2.
Let’s start with the letter “A”.
Cookie and Cream was known as Kuri Kuri Mix here in the UK (and Europe/Japan too I believe). Very cool game and quite the underrated gem.
Gameplayer has gone live with their thoughts on the provocatively named Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am.
"Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a funny show, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is a funny game. That much ports across just fine. A few of the voices are a little flat, but the writing is a perfect match."
GameSpot's Alex Navarro writes:
"If Zombie Ninja Pro-Am has any one particularly compelling feature, it's its extras list, which includes multiple episodes and clips of the show, including one exclusive episode. It also includes an interview with the creators of the show, which really hammers home exactly how little of a crap they seemed to have given about the making of this game. While the sort of metahumor of making a game as bad as possible isn't entirely lost on us, it doesn't excuse Zombie Ninja Pro-Am's inherent lousiness one bit. Just recently, The Simpsons Game did something similar, riffing on hackneyed gameplay conventions while playing out those same exact conventions throughout the course of the game. The difference there was that the core gameplay in The Simpsons Game was at least decent, if unspectacular. Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is aggressive in its awfulness, practically daring you to suffer through it if you want to get the joke. Too bad the joke isn't that funny."
This is another terrible use of a potentially perfect source material. How could devs screw up games of Looney Tunes and others like this one?
BTW, Yay for Alex's review. My sole fave reviewer in GameSpot.
And to think this less-than-one-minute clip was almost never published...
