You appropriately control the two half-wits with a simple set of commands, using a mouse-driven interface that looks and operates suspiciously like a LucasArts adventure game. To complete the effect, Viacom New Media borrowed the original voice talent from the series, which creates a very smooth transition from linear to interactive, and in the process one very funny game.Īll you'd expect from the eternally juvenile duo is here: fart jokes, painfully obvious sexual innuendoes, glorification of anything illegal or immoral, and the fruitless pursuit of girlfriends with one-liners such as, "Hey, um, do you like to do, like, stuff?" As with the show, the writers' satirical genius puts these antics into a perspective that makes everything undeniably funny.
In fact, the crudely-drawn stylized artwork of the television series is accurately reproduced on the jagged lines of a computer screen.
What's funny is that they don't look any better. But you get the drift.GameSpot once again came through with a great (meaning I perfectly agree with) review of this highly underrated, "campy" adventure game: "Parents beware, the two relentlessly infantile voices of a lost generation have made the jump in screen resolution from MTV to your computer. Oh, wait, that was another pair of metal-loving dorks. You’ve got Beavis and Butthead, two deep-thinkers way ahead of their time, to thank for all this wisdom. There's just time for one more nugget from the duo, absolutely nailing the whole alt. You just need to change "song" for “my child’s school assembly” or “a walk with the in-laws”. Just give into it – once you accept you’re only putting up with Trent Reznor pissing around for the first two minutes of Nine Inch Nails’ Eraser because you love it when those chainsaw guitars kick in, everything in your life will make more sense.Īnd come to think of it, “Well Beavis, if they didn't have like a part of the song that sucked, then it's like, the other part wouldn't be as cool" could just as easily be applied to all aspects of life and not just 90s rock tunes. “Oh no, actually Polly is my favourite song off Nevermind, actually” – no, you’re wrong, it’s your favourite song because it’s immediately followed by the crazed noisefest Territorial Pissings. And now that you know it’s true, you also realise that quiet-loud-quiet basically means boring-exciting-boring, doesn’t it?Ĭome on, no-one is waiting for the quiet bits, unless you’re talking about the really quiet bit in Bullet With Butterfly Wings, but you’re only waiting for that because it gets really loud again straight after. “Well Beavis, if they didn't have like a part of the song that sucked, then it's like, the other part wouldn't be as cool". The next line, an efficiently brutal takedown of what made rock songs in the 90s so exciting, is this:
