Not only did I want to throw my controller through the TV, I wanted to stop playing. You literally fight the same guy more than seven times, and the fight never evolves, it's the same every round. This is a minor issue in the scheme of things, but the second to last boss in the game is one of the worst I've ever seen. I laughed out loud during the first game, but didn't at all during The Baconing. HotHead's humor can also feel forced at times, for example, their depiction of Ganesha is more offensive than funny. They don't quite capture the magic of the first game's environments, but characters from the previous games make frequent cameos. There are five new effed up areas, including a twisted Disneyland rip-off, a retirement home for ancient Gods, a polluted lake and a leprechaun Las Vegas. The Weapons of Justice (basically souped up weapons with special power attacks) are pretty bad-ass, and include a dragon-assisted air assault and drills that pop up from the depths of the Earth to surprise your enemies. The focus of this game is nabbing sweet loot, and there are lots of new weapons and armor sets to 'ooh' and 'ahh' at. Just like real bacon, behind the calories and fat there is some tasty goodness. It's a very "rinse, repeat" style of gameplay, which I grew tired of. You'll stick to a main path/area until you complete the task at hand (in this case, burning a thong in a bacon fire) and then move on. Unfortunately, the entirety of the campaign feels more like a guided tour than an open world. Before he can defeat it, he's told to burn the thongs one by one in the Fires of Bacon scattered around. ![]() Like the other games, The Baconing's story is goofy: DeathSpank has claimed all the thongs of power, gets bored, puts them all on at once and then creates the AntiSpank (basically a really evil, robotic version of DeathSpank). That meant I died more often since I didn't hide behind my shield, but there's still not much penalty for dying so I didn't mind. The team at HotHead tried to spice the combat formula up a bit by adding a couple new features, namely a shield and mounds of terrain for cover, but I was so used to playing it the old way that I didn't change my strategy up too much. in the U.S., Canada and other countries.Play Hacking away at piles upon piles of enemies is satisfying at first, but it can become a mindless endeavor.
