Great fun, but not for the kids

Whacked is a cartoony beat-em-up game that pits you against three opponents - and with XBox live, they can be anywhere in the world!

At first glance, Whacked looks to be another version of Cel Damage, Super Smash Brothers Melee, or any of the many other cartoon-characters-bash-each-other-with-cartooney-weapons games that are on the market. You choose from a number of cartoon characters. You go into relatively small maps. You run around looking for weapons to kill each other with in cute ways.

When you get into the game, though, you realize very quickly that this game IS really unique, a ton of fun, and not really intended for kids!

The characters are each very special, and everyone I've played with has their own favorite. Toof's has a layer of teeth all the way around his head, and his entire head top lifts up when he wants to eat. Eugene is a picked-on flightless bird that dreams of revenge. Lucky is a rabbit who has lost his foot and is very grumpy. The characters are all drawn with a twisted sense of humor and you can tell that none of them are quite sane.

Gameplay is straightforward. You get put onto a cartooney map with interactive parts. A kid's room has a train rolling around on a track that runs you over if you're not careful. A kitchen sink area has a garbage disposal which can cause some damage. There are numerous weapons scattered around the map, from electro-zappers to egg-firing guns to staple guns and single-shot rocket launchers. There's a toy tank in one level, but it won't work until you put a battery into it!

In between levels are bizarre commercials and interviews with the characters. They're all on the twisted side. One commercial, with purposefully badly drawn artwork, simply goes, "grind up a pig, put it in a can, Scrapple!" while showing you a pig being ground up and dumped into a can.

The commentary that goes along with the game is GREAT! If Lucky the Rabbit is doing well, the background might start singing, "Kill the raaaabit, kill the raaaabit!" If Charity bashes Lucky into a wall, you might hear, "Charity got lucky today!" That leads to one of my only negative comments on the game. It seems like it'd be a great game for young kids and teenagers, since there's no blood and it's all cartoon fun, but the language should make a parent think twice. The announcer talking about the prize for winning calls it a 'lap dance of fun.' One of the built-in responses (vocal) after being hit is "If I had any feet, I'd kick your A%%."

Going on line both increases greatly the fun you can have but also increases the amount of swearing you have to deal with. The XBox Live comes with a headset and many of the users seem to be teenagers that enjoy shocking others. The gameplay is fast and furious, and quite a fun challenge, but if you wear the headset you'll hear everything from non-stop swears to rambling commentary on sex and drugs. If you get a group of serious gamers it's great to taunt each other and congratulate great shots, but if you run into one of the attention-seekers, it might be good to just leave off the headset for a while.

So for more mature audiences, I definitely recommend this game very highly! For the younger set, rent it if you're unsure, and judge for yourself if it's appropriate for their age level.

Hilarious and Addicting

My roommate bought this game for his XBox the other day, and we had a couple friends over last night to play it.. we were laughing uncontrollably for hours!

The graphics and play are great, but the smart-a$$ comments by the contestants and the rather hilarious ways you get them to pummel each other (the taser has to by my favorite) will keep you rolling for hours.

This game is definitely NOT for kids - innuendos and double entendres ABOUND, not to mention the mostly-naked female contestant (the source of most of the saucy lines) ..

Haven't tried playing it online yet but I'm sure that will be a lot of fun too. Great game!

So this game is creatively addictive. I am on the Xbox live beta testing team, and I had to get the full version of the game as soon as it came it. It is amazing how much you get into playing this against your friends at home or on Live. The graphics are stunning, the characters are creative and some are very naughty. If you are a fan of games that have multi-player shoot 'em up and you need a little creative juice, this game is for you.

Ahh, and the weapons. No more Revolver instead you get an Egg-O-Matic and launch raw eggs at your opponents or throw axes to keep angry chickens at bay.

Seriously, you will love this game.

Whacked is the best game on the face of the Earth!

Whacked is, as Van-Tastic (the host of the game show) would say, "WOW, WOW, DOUBLE WOW, AND WOW TO THE WOW POWERED!" This game didn't look very good on the back of the cover in the store, but looks can be decieving!
Whacked is the name of a gameshow that is played with seven crazy contestants and one sick and twisted host. On the back it DOES look like a racing game (almost exactly like Mad Dash Racing) but it is NOT! In 1 player mode, you compete in one of six events: Combat, Dodgeball, Fragfest, King of the Hill, Grab'n'Run, and Chicken. Each game is played in a different environment. The environments are small, but that's a good thing to ensure the most fighting as possible. There are so many weapons and powerups, that I can't even name them all! Battle mode in Whacked is probably the best Xbox game mode I've seen!... Sure, it's fun doing the normal splitscreen, but once you link up to another Xbox, or better yet, PLAY IT ON XBOX LIVE, the fun really begins. That's right, you CAN play this game on Xbox Live!... I would give this game a 500 out of 5 if I could. Don't rent it! BUY THIS GAME!...

This is so much fun!

I recently got an X Box and the first game I purchased other than than the two it came with (Sega GT 2002 and JSRF) was Whacked. Since then I have played a lot of other games on it, but WOW! This is the most fun I have ever had. The weapons are awesome, the storyline is hilarious, and I cannot wait to get X Box Live for the sole purpose of playing this online. It may not look like it will be that fun, but it is very addicting. The skill levels run the gamut, with Very Easy being just that (the perfect stage to learn on) and Hard being, once again, hard. The characters say the funniest things, especially Lucy (the naked girl with censor bars). I haven't played it with more than one player yet but I am anxiously waiting to :-D So to sum it all up, this game is the most fun you will ever have, especially if you are bored with most of the games out there right now. It's so addicting! Give it a good try, I promise you will love it.

I should say that this is a great game to enjoy online. Although not always suited for younger children due to content. When you want to have just an easy game that changes rapidly this is the one to play. THe only draw back that I can see is that there is no download availabilty as in new charachters etc. A must have game for the collection.

Xbox Live is where this game really shines!

I've been a beta tester for xbox live now for a month and this was one of the demo games. I can tell you from experience, this game is going to be one of the best as far as online gaming goes.

The arenas are colorful and fun, the characters are original and a little strange (but in a good way), and the ability to use voice communication is unbelievable unless you've played yourself.

Anyone interested in Xbox Live or this game, BUY IT! It's worth it, trust me!

VERY, VERY, VERY WIERD BUT FUN 8.75 OUT OF 10

This is one of the wierdest games I have ever played. It has the wierdest levels and challenges, along with the strangest characters ever assembled. The basic premise of the game is that you you are one of the contestants and you battle the other contestants on a demented gameshow where the host of the show is actually a demon from hell. You battle your opponents on numerous strange levels and kill them with a large selection of wierd weapons. Your basic task is to complete all these strange minigames and if you do you rule the world and basically everything around you. This game is a lot more fun than the disastrous gameshow game The Bible Game which I would rate a 1.75 out of 10 in comparison to this game's 8.75 mark. Seriously, just play this awesome game, especially for its addicting multiplayer.
