Quite a rare game now, for game collectors only as the gameplay is not good...

The Good
Very funny and does not take itself too seriously.

The Bad
The 3D Engine and movement : prepare the vomit bag, you'll need it ; the unprofessional sounds (but funny, it was on purpose ?) ; Ugly textures ; You can not re-assignate controls (a shame) - You can not even strafe (and that would have prevented from so much nausea)

The Bottom Line
A game you can burn unless you are a collector like me. I have some good moments with that game but at every corner you can ask yourself "how could they have released that crap ?"
