I first saw this game, and noticed the price was under 15$s. Games cheaper than that always catch my attention, and I end up getting them. My initial reaction was that Funk of titans is hilarious. Every moment I felt like I was twelve again, playing on a N64, or a Sega DreamCast. The game is very basic, gets your attention and even feels like those older games. It is defiantly an interesting game, but wont be for everyone.
You are a "Funk God" and you have to go around and destroy the gods of Rock, pop and rap. They give you a few things to customize your guy, a few weapons, from a Fish to a stop sign. They also give you hats to wear, from a top hat, to Darth Vader. Unfortunately MOST of these don't do anything for your game play, just aesthetics of it.
Graphics (2 of 3): This game has late 90's early 2000's graphics. Very poloygonnny... lots of flat surfaces and lines. Colors are alright, bright, easy to see at most times. Some levels take you into darkness and it gets difficult, but not to the point of rage quitting. The main issue I have with the graphics is that sometimes you die, even if you clearly didn't hit anything. The registration is awful, sometimes you even miss ledges because of it.
Multiplayer / Achievements (2 of 3): There is no multiplayer, so I obviously will base this soley on achievements. I already full cleared this game. I started it for about 20 minutes on Friday night, and played for about 3 hours Saturday evening. All achievements are easily attainable without much effort. Almost to the point of to easy. There is not much grind to any of them. Anyone in my eyes can easily obtain all the achievements for this game. Tips on the easiest way will be below. Some folks don't want help!
Story / Replay (.5 of 3): This game is very boring. After the first few levels you get the idea of how the game will be. All levels are under 5 minutes, and they don't change to much between them. They only have 3 worlds of 15 levels a piece. After one play through, you have the majority of the achievements, and the remaining ones are quick and easy. After about 5 hours, you won't play this game again.
This game gives you a bad experience of the late 90s in gaming. After you get all your cheevo's you wont ever turn back to look at this game. For 10$s you are basically paying for 1k more gamer score. I probably wouldn't recommend this to anyone other than the few gamers that want their gamer score higher.
For those that do decide to give this a try for the achievements, here are few things to do to speed up the amount of time it will take.
First, dont waste any money early on on hats, they are useless. The first weapon to buy should be the flaming sword, it is cheap and most "magic doors" require this to open it, next the nerd sword, and last the stop sign. Always have the flame weapon on, when you come across a different door that requires one of these other 2, restart change to it, finish the level, and change back to the flame sword.
Get to lvl 9 as quick as you can. This may require you to not get gold on certain levels, but you need to get to lvl 9 for the stop sign weapon. This will allow you get gold on EVERY level.
Never finish a level without getting it gold. If you miss something, restart. You might need to change weapon like stated above.
