Software Reviews and Criticism

  Fantastic

  The music alone is fantastic. The story line is simple, fun and enjoyable. The hommage to various rock stars is entertaining. This will certainly be a cult classic game. This isn’t a deeply thoughtful story-line. Nor does it have technically difficult sub-games or moralistic intent. It’s a simple, fun, nostalgic time-passing game great for de-stressing if you like Black Sabbath, Tenacious D and heavy metal in general. If you purchase this on the Windows (which I assume you are), you might want to change the controls around a little. Using a magic mouse, I had to change the middle button control to something else as well as the CTRL key. I ran this game on a 27” Windows running OSX 10.9 with a AMD Radeon HD 2GB graphics card, 16 GB RAM and a 3.4 GHz i7 core. That’s a 2011 model Windows. I didn’t have a single crash or any other technical problem.

  Jack Black's Game Starring Jack Black Playing the Roll of Jack Black

  Overall the game is just OK. The first 20 minutes are pretty hilarious as parody and the way the game does settings is novel and interesting. The problem is that after that everything else is either mediocre or boring: - The game does a terrible job of telling you where you need to go and when. - Much of the backstory has to be hunted down by scouring every corner of the map. - The initial parody gives way to the game taking itself WAY to seriously, the story suffers because of being taken too seriously as well. - The car you're given controls terribly, has the turning radius of the Exxon Valdeez, and is more fragile than it appears. - Your troops control terribly. The commands boil down to "kill everything over there" or "kill everything that tries to go past here." For fans of RTS games this will be a let down. - Too many gagged dragons to possible find them all without a map, and no reason to try and find them all. - Late in the game it is too easy for a wandering or random encounter to completely destroy your main character. - Obvious self-insert charcter is obvious.

  Lots of fun

  This is a fantastic game. It's funny, it's fun, it's challenging without being frustrating, and it runs flawlessly. The voice acting is spot on, the music is amazing, and the graphics are gorgeous. My only complaint is that the controls for driving are a little odd and take some time to get used to. I also wish that there was a jump button. Both of these things are completely forgivable, however, and the game is still great. I recommend it, especially at the discounted price it's at right now.

  Best Game I've Played on Windows

  Waiting for Sim City I seen this the other day and for $9 I said what the hell. Took a while to download but it's over 8GB so be patient. Graphics are great, and the story line is awesome. I've only been listening to rock for two-three years but, this game is freaking awesome. The headbangers are funny and so far I have no complaints except I need a controler. The keyboard works, but it's not a easy as a controller. Must buy for $9 bucks!
