This game is hilarious at times.. both in    Masquarade The Baubles of Doom
    When Batman Meets Shrek
    Masquarade The Baubles of Doom is a 3D action platformer where you play as a jester…
    These clowns how stolen your girlfriend cause shes got the map to the most coveted balls in all the land..
    and its up to you to get her back and stop the big nose from getting his hands on those balls.
    This game is hilarious at times.. both in cutscenes, as well as in the game world..
    Unfortunately, the humor is the only good about this game..
    This is an Arkham Style beat em up mixed with platforming
    you attack enemies with square, counter with triangle.. jump with x and pull off a super move with circle..
    when you defeat an enemy they drop their clown nose..
    collecting noses unlocks more powerful super moves
    this sounds fine.. but the controls in this game are way too floaty..
    leading combat to feel unresponsive and therefore completely unsatisfying..
    it feels like theres a delay.. almost like youre playing off of a stream…
    This can lead to some pretty frustrating encounters..
    But noo as frustrating as the platforming can be..
    Again, the platforming feels floaty and awkward…
    you never have a true sense of your characters weight, making some sections seem almost unplayable…
    While Masquarade the baubles of doom has a hint of charm and I didn’t exactly regret playing through the 3 hour story to get to the sequel baiting ending
    you wont be missing all too much if you decide to just forget about it
    I give Masquarade: The Baubles of Doom a 5.5/10    … Expand

    Well I must say I was a little skeptical about this game. It cost me $14.99, After playing it, I really love it! This game has CHARM! Its weird but wonderful.

    The art style is unique, the gameplay reminds me of the batman games. The dialogue made me laugh and the banter in the fights is hilarious. I am told there is an Easter Egg Level. But have not found it yet. The thing that I    Well I must say I was a little skeptical about this game. It cost me $14.99, After playing it, I really love it! This game has CHARM!

    The thing that I liked the most was the attention to detail. Its the little things in the game eg The clowns talking from down under broken spawn point. Great World Map! Excellent facial animations, and the varied voices of the clowns are just fantastic! Its a huge thumbs up for me! :)    … Expand

    Loved the game's art style and humor, the voice acting and dialog did a good job of bringing that out. All in all, a good buy at only 15 bucks. Looking forward to the sequel!

    Love the humor and its slapstick animation. The dialogue is fantastic with good voice overs. Art Style is unique and has its own flair. The slow-motion with the clown's facial expression is just hilarious. Did a good job in blending the 2D and 3D interchanges. Love the world map, gives you the epic view that says more adventures that awaits you. Game-play wise pretty straight forward hackLove the humor and its slapstick animation.

    Masquerade: The Baubles of Doom can be funny at times and has some nostalgic charm to it, but underneath those attributes is a game that is dated, repetitive and frustrating.
