    Action-RPG fans will certainly have fun with this release, although it's similar to the original, and if you're into thongs and "role-playing" then this game is a win-win.

    It's just as addictive, just as pretty, and I dare say it's even a little funnier.

    DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue is no doubt more of the same stuff but it's a more of the same we like because it's damn fun. To make things crystal clear, if you enjoyed the previous installment you will also love DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue regardless of dejavu feelings, but if you didn't go crazy about the franchise before, you will not change your mind. The overall quality is just the same, excellent as much as cheap: a solid, lengthy 6-8 hours adventure, tad harder than before but even more fun.

    Thongs of Virtue is the second half of Deathspank. Billing this as a sequel is a bit disingenuous, but thankfully Deathspank's structure was quite good to begin with, and the humorous presentation remains delightfully distinctive.

    A perfect product for all the fans of the firts chapter: questing is sometimes too easy, cooperative is lacking depth and some polish is missing, yet it's still a ton of fun.

    The conclusion to DeathSpank's tale doesn't veer far from the original, but that doesn't make it any less fun.

    Having had my DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue experience so painfully truncated by the aforementioned bug, it's hard to comment fully on the game. It is possible however, to say that going by the entertaining action/RPG elements and the unparalleled humor of the game to that point, that Ron Gilbert's still "got it". Still, a bug that prevents players from finishing the game (and that as yet has no known fix) just can't be overlooked.

    Should we compare this DeathSpank to the former game, Thongs of Virtue may be slightly worse than the original one. However, the difference isShould we compare this DeathSpank to the former game, Thongs of Virtue may be slightly worse than the original one. However, the difference is almost nonexistent. Do not misunderstand it: this second part is truly excellent as well.

    If you have played the first game right before starting this one, maybe it will not surprise you as much as the former. But in any case, it is a highly recommendable game either you have played the original one or not. The mechanics are basically the same, though with some little changes (new fire weapons, for example) and a new world to explore.    … Expand
