Summary
Nice, nothing more
The Good
-the German version had great voice actors (such as Monty Arnold, comedian)
-some of the jokes are funny (especially the one-liners when he does not want to do what you told him to or examine objects) and the hyperintelligent lingo he talks in
-the interface works quite good (there are not too many options though - just "look" and "manipulate")
-the comic style looks nice (while simplistic at times, a lot of effort was made here)
-one or two good puzzles (like using a frozen earthworm as a lockpick - nice twist on the "open door locked from other side"-puzzle also found in Simon The Sorcerer)
-succeeds in displaying a character even nerdier than the target audience
The Bad
-most puzzles are completely illogical (remember how you had to "cook" a voodoo soup in the original Monkey Island? Well, they have something similar here. But while a jolly roger (pirate flag) can be logically connected to a "pressed human skull", Tony Tough has you use feces for coffee. The line used to explain this is "coffee is just dirty water anyway" - which would have helped BEFORE finding the solution by using every single item)
-most of the jokes are outright stupid - or worse, such feeble attempts at being funny that you laugh anyway. After solving a particularly illogical puzzle, Tony comments "I have solved harder puzzles before. Like that puzzle, "age 3 and above" only took me four months"
-the story is rather weird (spoof of all those "Halloween Killer"-movies)
-"antialiasing"-option just blurs characters' outline (reminiscent of "3 Skulls of the Toltecs")
-dialogues going on forever, trying to be funny - but failing
The Bottom Line
Nice, though often illogical, comic adventure. Personally, I would not recommend it to anyone, but that is just a personal opinion - maybe I am just too demanding. At least they are keeping the genre alive. The title has absolutely nothing to do with the game, by the way.
