I had never actually heard of this game before but I decided to pick it up with one of the promo things gog had. I have never even really considered this genre before either. Having played the game I can say that it was pretty enjoyable but still a little forgetable.
The first game:
I did like the graphics which have a sort of claymation/stop animation look to them. The problem the game has it that is wasn't really hard enough. I almost got a 90% and above in each show on the first try. As you play and unlock new seasons they will allow you to go to more rooms. The inclusion of more rooms and more pranks made the game become more interesting as it progressed but right when I was really liking it it was suddenly over. I was just able to beat the game too quickly since I only had to redo 3 or 4 of the episodes for a better score. I did not go through and get everything at 100% but I did have a lot of 97% and there is no added bonus for getting all perfects.
The second game:
I liked this one better. There are much more locations so the game stayed more interesting. Finding all the pranks wasn't too bad but it took a little more planning for me to get the complete rating by making the neighbors rage fill up completely. There are also more people in this one which made it more interesting in general. You aren't on the ship the whole time as cruises always stop at different ports to let people be tourists.
Overal: The game has a lot of humor and I did enjoy myself. If this was just game 1 or game 2 I would be more upset at the shortness, but by including both it has a much more decent lengh too it. It is a good game for when you just need to kill time. I no this is just a casual game but I would of liked a little more story. Like why does your character hate his neighbor so much. He is supposed to be the hero but you never really see the neighbor being nasty so really your guy comes across as a jerk. This game has made me more curious about similar games and I do recomend it it, just be aware it is not the greatest thing out there.
