Excellent and hilarious game based around nuclear apocalypse, less than mighty super powers (Robomop - Able to clean really well), and the evil Doctor Entropy. It has a Final Fantasy-esque playing style, and enough political humor 'You won't have Transistor-Jowl to kick around any more,' bad jokes (Spoiler: To get to Carnegie Hall, practice), and puns (Midas has the ability not to turn stuff into gold, but create mufflers. Those mufflers can be another word for scarves.) to crush minds less accustomed to such warped things.

You play as the Crimson Tape, able to create paperwork at will. You have an elite group of misfits on your side. Your arch nemesis is Doctor Entropy. He has the ability to craft nefarious schemes such as using
radio waves to turn pigeons into remote controlled bombers. Yes, the bombs are all natural, if you catch my meaning. You must go forth and complete seemingly unrelated side quests, pick up everything that isn't nailed down, use the Undo button a fair amount and generally blunder your way through things in your attempt to save the day. Of course, Entropy will escape, and return greater than before every time (Entropy always increases, you know.)
Despite, or maybe because of the strangeness of the game, you will quickly become immersed in a world quite antithetical to the suspension of disbelief. That's ok, it's supposed to happen. If you were a fan of Epic Movie or Mystery Men, this is the game for you. If you laughed at those movies, but didn't really feel they were that good, this is the game for you. If you despised those movies, this is the game for you, but only in secret. This game doesn't take itself seriously, so why should anybody else?
Gameplay: 7/10 - The controls were easy to figure out. What you were supposed to be doing is not. Bring a faq if you're easily frustrated.
Humor: 9/10 - This game makes fun of just about everything, and does so without being offensive. Good show.
Fun: 10/10 - This is a game that has no middle road when it comes to fun. If you don't like it right away, you're not going to start liking it later. But if it hooks you, it just keeps getting better.
