Graphics: Graphically speaking, Shnizzle Pizzo is quite impressive. Many of the char sets are custom and the rips are chose with a fair amount of taste. The backgrounds are unique at many times, and all in all everything seems to fit well into place. There are plenty of surprises, but nothing to make the gamer incredibly insecure (we all know that gamers are a delicate lot). For all the stated reasons, the game receives a 8/10.

Music: Shnizzle Pizzo is full of its own unique blends of music that in turn enhance the gaming experience to a reasonable degree. Everything fits will well in each scene (no matter how bizarre) and everything is chosen with an artistic touch. However, the music truly is nothing to go ranting and raving about. It has its own flaws like all things in this world do and thusly the game receives an 8/10 in the musical area.

Gameplay: If I may break the laws of English (MWA HA HA HA, BOW BEFORE ME ENGLISH!) by using a personal pronoun, I'd just like to state that the gameplay in Shnizzle Pizzo was some of the most enjoyable I had experienced as of late. I found characters, systems, and battling intriguing enough to be fully entertained for a good amount of time. Playing this game is engaging and that gameplay aspect of Shnizzle Pizzo is definitely one of its strongest areas. Essentially what I'm trying to say is that (and yes, I promise to drop the personal pronouns until the traditional last paragraph where I get to use pronouns- nyah!) the gameplay is great and thusly the game receives a 10/10 for it.


Story: To say this in the most flamboyantly un-lavish manner possible, the story of Shnizzle Pizzo is very unique. The game's story flows from one comedic scene to the other (including one involving a very angry monk - my personal favorite) without a semblance of choppiness. This is, to say the least, a truly impressive feat indeed. Sometimes the story can get a bit confused and slow, however, and this does hurt this aspect of the game slightly. Therefore, the game's story ranking is an 8/10.

Bias: Well, now it's time for me to charm you with a bias and some more personal pronouns. I liked Shinnzle Pizzo quite a bit. The game had me laughing to myself more than once and I must admit that it was very, very unique. I find that I'm a sucker for originality, so I'm going to give this game a bias of 10/10.

        In closing, go download Shnizzle... or else you'll face the wrath of the... German Monkey! -Tycho McKorley
