Mr. Bill
Is It Any Good?
MR. BILL, the game, does a decent job of recreating the subversively satirical spirit of the old "Mr. Bill" sketches that appeared on Saturday Night Live in the '70s. In the old shorts, the clay hero was always being destroyed by his nemesis, Sluggo -- a human hand. Here, Sluggo "helps" Mr. Bill get new jobs when he needs money for his clay family. It would have been nice if there was more variety to the game, though. It's generally entertaining to make Mr. Bill fly through the air, trying to bounce him off of safe things, and avoid getting him impaled, mauled, or barbecued -- but while there are many, many levels to play through, they're pretty much all just like that. The Mr. Bill concept cries out for more creative forms of clay destruction.
