Review: Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard

Eat Lead is an amazing game, much like the way Evil Dead 2 is an amazing horror movie.

That sounds pretty good. I'll have to try it.

Also, Dr. Horrible's doing the voice of the Big Bad, right?

When reading this review, I was reminded of Serious Sam. I don't play a lot of FPS games, but I thought that one was pretty crazy.

Yep. Neil Patrick Harris is awesome

this is like 50 cents game, stupid, but you just have to play it!!!

But this is so much better. NPH>50 cent

This game makes me want to buy a ps3 or 360, but bah no money for a new system.

Think it will ever come out on the PC?

I don't get why a game with a premise like that seems to have standard third person shooter mechanics instead of, say, letting you flatten enemies by jumping on them and other kinds of 8-bit crazyness. I mean, COVER? In a game that's supposed to parody old gaming clichees? I don't see Bill Rizer and Lance Bean using cover!

Now if they want the ultimate parody they could replace Matt with a robot in the European version.

In the first level, Matt comments on why he can't jump in this game when he could in his older games. I think they created the cover system purposely to poke fun at how most games nowadays throw out the jump button or rarely use it at all.

this game is a must have fore any gamer.

 

[Woe Is You]

I wholeheartedly agree with the review. Perhaps this is a good example of an awesomely bad game [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.96202?page=4], though in Eat Lead's case, most of it is entirely intentional.

I have to remember to buy this game once it gets a price drop.

 

[Lukeydoodly]

This is the first time I have heard of it and it looks ok. Possible rent.

Just not interested in it.

I play a game for the gameplay. Just because a game takes the mick out of other games, if the gameplay isn't solid it ends up being the joke.

The Simpsons Game. I rest my case.

Saying something is better than a 50 cent game is like saying its better than raw sewage to the mouth
