    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 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.    … Expand

    With a flair lifted from the Second World War’s propagandized news flashes, Strong Badia the Free stands at attention already as the series’ high point -- and we’re only two-fifths of the way into season one. Along with the famed Sam & Max series, Telltale Games is single-handedly ushering in a renaissance for the adventure genre.

    Strong Badia the Free is mostly made up of all new environments, so it in no way felt like a simple recycling of Homestar Ruiner, and while the game's structure of "convert a country, to move to the next country" makes it inherently more predictable than Homestar Ruiner was, it's still full of surprises.

    Episode 2 is so well written, funny and enjoyable you'll gladly submit to the domineering, steel toed boot of your new red masked overlord.
