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
