Bolted doors and windows barred,
Guard dogs prowling in the yard,
Won’t protect you in your bed,
Nothing will, from Pumpkinhead.

Just saw the in 5 seconds version of this (can watch it off his blip.tv account)

Fucking brilliant. This review is also amazing =P

Criticcritic November 1, 2009 at 12:02 pm

This review was just a bit funnier then the game you reviewed. Really, not funny. Too bad.

Stop right there criminal scum! Your goods are forfeit, return them to the chest or face the consequences.

HEY NOAH!!!!
Heard you like DS9? Well, the sheriff in PHII: BW is Garak! Also Scorpio from Dirty Harry.
It’s just that…you didn’t mention…so I thought I’d…eh forget it.

LOL I rather play again Catacomb 3d series, than this horseshit. Great job Noah!

Very good, but after that screaming scene, please don’t look on to the right of the camera, IDK either if you’re reading something ,or watching into the screen of the camera, but its really funny, if you want to show emotions try to watch into the camera, k, thx..:))

ElizaJean November 1, 2009 at 2:07 pm

I’m so sorry, that game is pure torture!

edinfang November 1, 2009 at 2:14 pm

Hey I recon you should give AVGN a call Haha

ajh November 1, 2009 at 2:52 pm

hahaha.stab them where?i dont think any of them HAVE that body part!

Criticcritic November 1, 2009 at 3:15 pm

Forget about my latest comment. This was actually very funny , But a very stupid game.

Santi November 1, 2009 at 3:46 pm

hahahaa good stuff spoony

Genius November 1, 2009 at 4:11 pm

I watched this several times. One of my favorite Spoony reviews.

RawketLawnchair November 1, 2009 at 4:27 pm

Everything was good BUT the part with Linkara. Really, man. You should take a (very long) break from the TGWTG team. They have a negative influence on your work. While you were always genuinely funny, now it all turns in to crappy ‘LOL SO RANDUM XDDDDDDDD’. I’d really like to have the old you back – no Dr.Insano, no lame skits with other reviewers, just good old Spoony making fun of bad games and movies. And I doubt both of us want you ending up with making unfunny Chuck Norris jokes. In 2009.

Mandy347 November 1, 2009 at 5:34 pm

Negative influence? I’m not sure where RawketLawnchair is coming from.. all the build-up and references, to me, make your work more cohesive, more than just a guy in a chair giving his opinions. You’ve built up a reliable network of resources, and I think that helps you far more than hurts.

Megaric November 1, 2009 at 6:00 pm

LOL That Made My Halloween Weekend. Happy Halloween Spoony!

Sifer2 November 1, 2009 at 6:46 pm

And you thought Final Fantasy VIII was bad. But really it looks like this game had potential. Just a bigger budget and a bit more time. Hehe just kidding. Yeah those dudes actually wanted to be associated with making the game wow. Probably don’t know how to beat it themselves.

can November 1, 2009 at 7:28 pm

Man, that Sheriff was Andrew Robinson! I love Garak.

Teh1337 November 1, 2009 at 9:21 pm

You fool! You broke the seal placed on that game. We spent years eradicating that piece of garbage from everyone’s collective conscience and then you brought it back. You do not know what you have done.

TheBugg November 1, 2009 at 9:51 pm

WOW. This is one of those games where you’re left shaking your head and asking yourself “Who the HELL thought this would be a good idea?!”

That said, great review. I always love the crossovers and stuff :)

wololo November 1, 2009 at 10:46 pm

Great video man, I found it very funny.

Frogs Albatou November 1, 2009 at 11:17 pm

I like how on your brief image of the movie’s imdb page, Soleil Moon Frye’s entry link on the cast roster was already visited. Great review, one of your best. I feel a little bad that you had to subject yourself to such an awful awful game though.

Authur November 1, 2009 at 11:37 pm

o_o… HOLY FUCK!!! Noah, are you serious!? Dude, I haven’t seen you this pissed off since the climax to Final Fantasy VIII! Here’s hoping Ripper doesn’t piss you off this easily…speaking of which, is that one of the things you’re working on right now? ‘Cause I actually wanna see what happens after Joey Falconetti tells Quinlan to meet him at that hospital place…other than the blatant fact that it’s shitty FMV game writing.

sswishbone November 1, 2009 at 11:45 pm

I have to say there truly are no words for this game, I find it hard to believe the game had a playtest… Well now I think about it, it probably didn’t

Clark November 1, 2009 at 11:58 pm

hell yes bookmans!

Ansatsu November 2, 2009 at 12:23 am

you should stop playing these terrible FMV games and continue playing your other less terrible FMV games like Ripper…

when the heck is the next one gonna come out anyway?

ThatGuy November 2, 2009 at 12:40 am

Space Mountain is my pants.

…Lol. Awkwarrrrrd~ Good stuff.

IL November 2, 2009 at 1:09 am

I just want to add my voice to the anti-team up and regular character chorus. The review was funny, and they are consistently so, but there’s something almost incestuous about having those other guys, some of whom are presumably amusing, turning up in every second review. I come to this site to see Spoony, not those other critics. By all means do the team ups, but perhaps they should be limited to explicitly team-up based scenarios, like the “Alone in the Dark” commentary?

Anyway, don’t want to sound over-critical. If anything, I’m actually saying that you, Noah, are quite enough to grab and retain an audience, and you don’t do anyone any favours with the slightly gimmicky team-ups and characters.

Thomas November 2, 2009 at 1:26 am

Yay! Andrew Robinson! The only other movie I recall seeing him in was Cobra, the 80’s Sly Stallone flick. Of course, the geniuses behind Pumpkinhead II waste him by having him play someone who isn’t a conniving weasel, which he does oh so well!

Allie November 2, 2009 at 2:29 am

I loved this review when it actually got down to the reviewing part. I skipped over the bit with Linkara because I don’t care for crossover stuff very much.

Squall Lee November 2, 2009 at 2:37 am

Only Spoony’s got the guts to review horrible atrocities like these. And that’s why he’s god tier among internet critics.

Akuma November 2, 2009 at 3:20 am

I really feel your suffering for this piece of crap.
I thought that “Make that Music Video”-games with Kriss Kross where really the bottom scraping of the barrel but this seems to have topped it… Great research and great video in general. It made me laugh and at the same time feel sorry for all the pain you had to go through with this game.

Keep the good work up Spoony.
Cheers.

King of Anthea November 2, 2009 at 3:35 am

I have seen this video more than a dozen times already and it still hasn’t gotten old!

Drew November 2, 2009 at 4:33 am

Pumpkinhead is holding open the door to FMV Hell!

Thanks Spoony – this totally made my day.

Subject153 November 2, 2009 at 4:50 am

Great review! Now guess what Wiki now have a new entry on how you review this. Does not help though oh and also love the song at the end I heard it and said to myself “Oh my god it is the first song for the Rocky Horror Picture show as a Rock version!” That was really cool!

JuKe November 2, 2009 at 5:39 am

hahaha great review

Tai MT November 2, 2009 at 6:52 am

Welcome to the Blagole!

Believe it or not, this isn’t the ONLY game with such problems. I’ve played a few games myself that, unless you actually bought them with an instruction manual (or readable manual), you can’t play. You have no idea what to do, because the interface and story are so convoluted it’s annoying.

Germinator November 2, 2009 at 7:07 am

You know that a game is awful when Spoony says that it’s the worst game he’s ever played in his life. Makes Sewer Shark and the Make my Video games passable by comparison.

Raven November 2, 2009 at 7:45 am

Really good review i found this your funniest in a awhile. This game is so bad and you still make it entertaining and funny. Keep up the good work!

DarthElmo November 2, 2009 at 9:32 am

i all most cried at the part with the spoonybum so sad *sniff*

mondo November 2, 2009 at 9:57 am

Ignore the comment about TGWTG cross overs – I think they’re a big bonus.

Also, the ‘dude monkey’ comment – this took me back to some of your earlier vids, very funny.

L Lawliet November 2, 2009 at 11:06 am

XD, I AM THE BEE KEEPER.

Dodwidge November 2, 2009 at 11:32 am

The review is awesome, game is pure shit (srsly, E.T. seems more appealing to me) but I just wanted to give props for Spoony Bum bit. That was hilarious :D

Jack November 2, 2009 at 3:45 pm

Noah! Dude, if you’re using cue cards, put them directly below or above the camera. You keep glancing off camera and it’s a little obvious. Not that it really hurts your video, but it’s distracting!

Try above or below the camera. So it’s not too far of a glance.

Anthony November 2, 2009 at 5:05 pm

I’ve watched all of you game reviews, Spoony, and this is by far my favorite yet. This is the 3rd time I’m watching it since it was uploaded. I don’t advocate you getting this pissed off and frustrated often, but damn is it entertaining! Keep up the great work!

Jack November 2, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Not that I didn’t love the review, dude. It made me laugh and kept me entertained. Keep up the excellent work, dude!!

McFisticuffs November 2, 2009 at 5:18 pm

Wow, it’s so messed-up-fuck-all-awful that in a way it’s brilliant.

I mean think about it, there are games that try to scare you, there’s games that make you feel surrounded or like you have no way of surviving something, but when has there ever been a game where you’re left in utter confusion? What’s scarier than wandering around god-knows-where going “WHAT YOU TOOK MY STUFF WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON JESUS CHRIST.”

…Nah, screw that, it’s still shit.

GasmaskAvenger November 2, 2009 at 5:36 pm

wow…you just saw Pumpkinhead when you were trying to get the review together & yet never heard of it prior to getting the game?

My grandma has a HBO airing of the first one which I first saw when I was like…3, I think

just wow…anyways, I loved the review, though the second film always was garbage & that the game being even worse just shows how much they tried to whore out the terrible second film

Bosh Depanzer November 2, 2009 at 5:40 pm

“We’re gonna need another Spoony!”

MTCesquire November 2, 2009 at 5:53 pm

This just may be the greatest video game review of all time. I’m not even joking. This was fucking hilarious. The fact that you spent so much time researching the game only to end up getting next to no information on it…that’s dedication. Major, major props to you, dude!

Havoc November 2, 2009 at 5:56 pm

I’m truly pity for your soul right now.
