Reviews for Viz - The Computer Game (#5595)

Review by p13z on 22 May 2013 (Rating: 3)

The spin-off game from the great British comic.
Some of the graphics and audio in this game are great, and some of the look and humour of Viz has been captured well. Unfortunately, the humour wears thin fairly quickly, and as a game, it isn't that great. A combination of very simple joystick/keyboard mashing levels, and 'race' levels with frustrating controls.
Worth a look if you are fan of Viz, or puerile childish humour in general, but nothing to hold your attention for very long.

Ah ah, I never knew about this game.
Well, it manages to capture the toilet humour of the comics quite well.
The game includes at least 4 games featuring each of the comics three main characters (Johnny Fartpants, Buster Gonad and Biffa Bacon) all very freaky and very funny with lots of joystick wiggling! But none are particularly good to play, just fun to look at.

Then comes the best part, the racing games, which take place in the Viz universe and feature a variety of places, all very well designed and faithful to the strips. I really enjoyed this game which is always accompanied by an amusing background tune giving it even more of the comics feel!
