A worse attempt at a tie-in couldn't be made if you produced 'Babe' bacon sandwiches. That reminds me of "Watership Down, you've seen the film now eat the Pie" | |
All true, but I would totally buy "Babe" brand bacon. Now with added hypocrisy! | |
Hopefully, the full console version will have have some idea of the story. Knowing modern movie tie-ins, it won't. | |
Seriously? I just died a little inside. Wait, nevermind. That's just my painkillers kicking in. | |
*picks up a nearby pipe* So, who did you say made this game? | |
It's just stupid. I'm not even outraged, I'm just...hmm....ah, this post reflects my thoughts!
Yeah that's what I'm feeling too. I just took prozac though... | |
I... I know I should rage but bless them they're trying. | |
Wait, you play as the comedian and murder civilians? I thought the book implied he was a war criminal. | |
He can do both - he did shoot people during the riot. Admittedly, they were rubber bullets, but its likely he would still be likely to kill a few civilians if he was pissed. | |
I though they implied he was part of attack on My Lai. It's been along time since I read it. | |
Babe bacon sandwichs actually happens to be a brilliant idea, I might have to start a small chain of bacon sandwich vans. | |

Who Plays With The Watchmen?
Glu Mobile rings in with "The Watchmen" mobile phone 'game'.
When you've studied Catch 22, do you really want to log on to X-Box Live and keep shouting "Climb you bastard, climb, climb, climb!"? Probably not, but apparently Glu Mobile figures that when you've just read one of the top 100 novels of the 20th century, you think to yourself, "I'd really like to play that as an 8-bit Final Fight clone!"
This 'game' is not just missing the point of the entire film, but is actually dulling the point. A worse attempt at a tie-in couldn't be made if you produced 'Babe' bacon sandwiches.
The sheer outright gall of reducing the Comedian's journey through Vietnam into a side-scrolling beat-'em-up desecrates the entire idea of the story.
Having Doctor Manhattan as a smart bomb as well? I've just run out of bad things to say about it.
Rated 'P' for Pure Unadulterated Mindless Worthless Tie-In Trash.
