    All told, the second episode of Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People includes a little more talking and lot more collecting than Homestar Ruiner, with the same marginal amount of small-scale puzzling in between.

    Improved gameplay structure makes for a markedly better--and funnier--second episode.

    Assuming that the humour clicks with you. This is a first episode as awesome as the Bad of Much Strong himself. [Nov 2008, p.109]

    In the end, if you are reading this review, you’re probably curious about the game because you’re a fan of the website. If you like Homestar Runner and Strong Bad and the Cheat and so on and so forth, there is no reason why you should not get this game. You’ll love it, trust me.

    As in the previous episode, you'll be playing as a villainous character, Strong Bad. This time, the King of Time locks you in your own houseAs in the previous episode, you'll be playing as a villainous character, Strong Bad. This time, the King of Time locks you in your own house and you decide to take revenge by taking over the throne.

    This game brings you everything you found in the first episode - funny characters, a lot of humor, a new mini game, the comic creation etc. There are also achievements as in the previous title, though one achievement in particular is missable and is therefore quite difficult to obtain.

    Surprisingly, this game focuses on strategy quite a bit, both on your journey to take over the throne, as you will have to take over each country in order to be able to get to the king, but there is also a strategic board game waiting for you somewhere down the line.

    While the first episode took me 7 hours to finish 100%, this one took me 6 hours and I even had to play it twice because of the missable achievement. Even though it is much shorter, it is still a fun game and if you enjoyed Episode 1, you will enjoy Episode 2 as well. If you love adventure games in general or you like wacky characters, you might want to give this series a shot.    … Full Review »
