    Like the stereotypical politician, Hail to the Chimp promised more than it can deliver.

    The gameplay is about as much fun as parading your plums through a blender. [Nov 2008, p.85]

    This is "Fuzion Frenzy" with one-liners about stuffing ballot boxes and endless, boring minigame repetition. [July 2008, p.86]

    Hail to the Chimp has zero redeeming qualities. There's nothing about this game that's worth recommending. The AI is bad, the control scheme is unforgiving, it's not funny at all and all of the games feel too similar to one another.

    A lame attempt at bringing parody to the world of gaming. Avoid. [Nov 2008, p.100]

I'll always remember "princess glamor-bot" from this title.… Full Review »

If you're the kind of person buying the remake of Q-bert and liking it, maybe this is worth your attention cuz it beats Q-bert at least. It's on par with those basic circle-around-while-shooting Robotron-esque games that seem to be coming out in droves. The only thing worthwhile about this game is the commercials which are pretty funny. They're pretty solid parodies of those awful "don't elect Senator blah blah" ads. The infomercial parodies are also good. Ignore the reviews saying the game isn't funny because the humor is pretty much ALL it is (worthwhile). Alas, in the end this is supposed to be a game, and the game part is repetitive and boring.… Full Review »
