Entertaining and funny, but not quite worth $20
While the game on a whole is worth taking time to check out--mainly for its humor and overall entertaining gameplay--paying twnety dollars is a bit much of an asking price. The game only took me around five or six hours to beat; which is not unusual given that its episodic content, but makes me a bit hesitant to entirely reccommend the game. I would easily reccommend you download the game aft the inevitable price drop, which shouldn't take too long depending on the success of the game. Content-wise, the game earns its M-rating, but the comic tone--and the fact that the game derives its rating mainly from profanity--helps lighten the tone and make it a bit more appropriate than other M-rated titles out there. And despite what CSM wrote, this is about the tenth M-rated game released over Xbox Live (in other words, parents, take a look just in case you're worried). Other M-rated Xbox Live Arcade Games or Xbox Originals available for download include the original Doom (quite addictive), Mortal Combat 3, Halo, Fable, Indigo Prophecy, and other reccommendable titles.
