The graphics and play are great, but the smart-a$$ comments by the contestants and the rather hilarious ways you get them to pummel each other (the taser has to by my favorite) will keep you rolling for hours.
This game is definitely NOT for kids - innuendos and double entendres ABOUND, not to mention the mostly-naked female contestant (the source of most of the saucy lines) ..
Haven't tried playing it online yet but I'm sure that will be a lot of fun too. Great game!
1. Gameplay: Extremely fun, and VERY addicting! The basic story mode in this game (titled Game Show Mode) is where 7 contestants go on a game show with a "Whacky" host. You pick a character to fight as (each a little bit...odd in his or her own way) and then pick an arena to fight in. Once everything is set up (Type of game, how long, etc...) you are ready to kicked some major...rear!
...Now, you have a health meter at the top of your screen, a thing to keep track of your "whacks", and a meter at the bottom showing everyones score. The way you wack someone is by either: A) Getting a weapon of some sort (over 30; ranging from baseball bats, egg shooters, rubber ducky grenades, rocket launchers, and even electrical shockers) and using it against your enemy. For example, if u get a baseball bat, you can swing it by pushing the B button. Hitting someone will knock them for what seems like miles. Clearly the strongest weapon in the game, you can knock people out of the playing arena and watch them fly away. Connecting on two or three will boost your score and give you an awsome feeling. Another weapon u can get is an egg shooter, which is like a gun. It shoots dozens of eggs at your oppenant, and eventually, kills them. The whole game is soooo fast and furious, it adds up in the end to be a WHOLE lot of fun.
You can aslo jump and "glide" across the arena, do a sort of ... stomp from the old Mario games and steal your stomped oppenants weapon, and or, use a regular attack (a punch or slide or kick), which just temporarily makes them dizzy and damamages them minimally. The gameplay here is a blast, and with dozens of types of games, characters, and levels to fight in, you will be "Whacking" people for a very long time!
2) Graphics: Cartoony but pretty good. No framereate slowdown or glitches, its all good. You can see all the way across your "area" and pretty far beyond, and water, explosions, dust, smoke, electricity, etc...all look amazingly real. Whenever you hit someone, they usually lose an amount of green or red blood. Though not extremely gory (as the blood looks like globs), this might turn off parents shopping for an XBOX Live game (get to that later) for their 9-year old kid. Overall though, the graphics are good, and there are no "bad" looking parts in the game.
3) Options: Dozens! You can do the regular game show mode (one person takes on 7 other characters in the game show for the BIG PRIZE!), battle mode (take on you and up to 3 other friends on your local XBOX, play system link, or go on Live and take on the world!), Rehearsal (the Whacked tutorial where u learn all of the basic moves), Theater (watch some HOLARIOUS Whacked commercials, replays, etc...), settings (set your Whacked settings and such), and Game Demos (play demos of some of the newest and great XBOX games).
The levels of difficulty during gameplay are: Very easy, normal, hard, VERY HARD. The harder you play, the more rewarding the victory! Are you ready for Whacked?
And Oh, if u beat the Computer, u can take on your friends on your local XBOX and or do system link, and then, when ready, take on THE WORLD on XBOX Live. Chat with your oppenants through your headsets, different types of games (Fragfest, Chicken, Combat, etc...). It's a blast!
Whacked has so many options, it'll keep you busy for a long...long time!
4) Sounds: The whole thing is a commedy...and it works! Each character is holarious in his or her own way. For instance, one of the characers; a 4-year old girl who's a spoiled little brat with rotting teeth; has many lines like: "Ooooo, pretty pile of blood!" or "You got guts all over my pretty dress!" ...All done in a squeky, annoying 4-year old accent. As for the gameshow host (who has HUGE buck teeth and hair dropping over his face, and a head 5 times as large as his body) makes funny comments, and seems to have a HUGE problem with gore (cheers it on). The characters hold grudges, and the whole thing is just fun to watch and listen too!
Overall, this is a fun game for kids 12+ and older who can handle a little blood and cussing. It's funny, it's addictive, and it has soo many options, you will be addicted for a long while! And with the additions of XBOX Live capability and dozens of weapons, you may become "Whacked" for a long time to come!
Hope this helped,
Thx!
The game is an interesting concept. And it's fun for a while. But even though there are quite a few characters, weapons and power-ups, it still won't hold your attention for more than a day in single player mode.
In Xbox Live mode it will keep your interest up for a little longer (not much).
The core problem is that the action is so fast that you feel like success has more to do with luck than any skill or strategy. Although your skill will improve, you still never really get to feel like you're in control of what's going on around you.
Also, it is totally inappropriate for kids (kids under 21 in my opinion). Not just the topless character, but the language and movie clips are also often in poor taste.
Fuzion Frenzy is a better party game.
Halo and Unreal Championship are (by far) better action games.
I think you'll only like this if you use Xbox Live (which I did) and enjoy a sense of panic, confusion and irreverence at every moment of a game.
At first glance, Whacked looks to be another version of Cel Damage, Super Smash Brothers Melee, or any of the many other cartoon-characters-bash-each-other-with-cartooney-weapons games that are on the market. You choose from a number of cartoon characters. You go into relatively small maps. You run around looking for weapons to kill each other with in cute ways.
When you get into the game, though, you realize very quickly that this game IS really unique, a ton of fun, and not really intended for kids!
The characters are each very special, and everyone I've played with has their own favorite. Toof's has a layer of teeth all the way around his head, and his entire head top lifts up when he wants to eat. Eugene is a picked-on flightless bird that dreams of revenge. Lucky is a rabbit who has lost his foot and is very grumpy. The characters are all drawn with a twisted sense of humor and you can tell that none of them are quite sane.
Gameplay is straightforward. You get put onto a cartooney map with interactive parts. A kid's room has a train rolling around on a track that runs you over if you're not careful. A kitchen sink area has a garbage disposal which can cause some damage. There are numerous weapons scattered around the map, from electro-zappers to egg-firing guns to staple guns and single-shot rocket launchers. There's a toy tank in one level, but it won't work until you put a battery into it!
In between levels are bizarre commercials and interviews with the characters. They're all on the twisted side. One commercial, with purposefully badly drawn artwork, simply goes, "grind up a pig, put it in a can, Scrapple!" while showing you a pig being ground up and dumped into a can.
The commentary that goes along with the game is GREAT! If Lucky the Rabbit is doing well, the background might start singing, "Kill the raaaabit, kill the raaaabit!" If Charity bashes Lucky into a wall, you might hear, "Charity got lucky today!" That leads to one of my only negative comments on the game. It seems like it'd be a great game for young kids and teenagers, since there's no blood and it's all cartoon fun, but the language should make a parent think twice. The announcer talking about the prize for winning calls it a 'lap dance of fun.' One of the built-in responses (vocal) after being hit is "If I had any feet, I'd kick your A%%."
Going on line both increases greatly the fun you can have but also increases the amount of swearing you have to deal with. The XBox Live comes with a headset and many of the users seem to be teenagers that enjoy shocking others. The gameplay is fast and furious, and quite a fun challenge, but if you wear the headset you'll hear everything from non-stop swears to rambling commentary on sex and drugs. If you get a group of serious gamers it's great to taunt each other and congratulate great shots, but if you run into one of the attention-seekers, it might be good to just leave off the headset for a while.
So for more mature audiences, I definitely recommend this game very highly! For the younger set, rent it if you're unsure, and judge for yourself if it's appropriate for their age level.
Ahh, and the weapons. No more Revolver instead you get an Egg-O-Matic and launch raw eggs at your opponents or throw axes to keep angry chickens at bay.
Seriously, you will love this game.
The arenas are colorful and fun, the characters are original and a little strange (but in a good way), and the ability to use voice communication is unbelievable unless you've played yourself.
Anyone interested in Xbox Live or this game, BUY IT! It's worth it, trust me!
Pros:
Funny characters. A rabbit with a Scotish accent, an orange oscar the grouch looking thing, a naked woman with censored bars over her equipment, a rotten toothed blonde girl....very interesting.
Tons of different weapons. Meat cleavers, an egg gun, baseball bats, hammers, heat seaking rockets, electic shockers, dogs with dynamite that seek out the current leader...there are 30 weapons.
Wierd and twisted storyline
Very fun (and addictive) multi-player
It's going to be a great online game
Good graphics
I love the maps. Each one has some kind of hazard that makes the game more intersting plus they are hilarious. Theres one thats set up on a kitchen counter complete with a kitchen sink that sometimes sucks player down its drain, one under a christmas tree, one in a sqaure room that has spikes poking out of the walls.
Cons:
The gameshow thing is only in the storyline. No part of the gameplay has anything to do with a gameshow...just the cinematics.
You have to unlock everything in single player mode. Maybe there is a cheat (I'm usually dead set against using cheats) that will unlock it all so you wont have to go through single player mode. This makes the game really suck at first. You only have like 3 maps, 3 weapons and 3 power-ups.
