Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Zombie Ninja Pro-Am

The Good
While going through my old PS2 collection, I found this game, thinking about the fact I've never played it despite owning it for decades. When playing this for the first time, I was truly surprised.   This game was actually OK. (focus on the "OK"). The humor and writing of the original series is fully here! The cutscenes, while 3D, feel like they could have come from a actual episode.

Anyways to the gameplay, The controls are quite responsive and is actually quite competent for a golf game. It never felt that awkward trying to get the ball to the hole, and mistakes made felt truly on me for over swinging or not swinging hard enough.

The Bad
While all those things are pretty good sounding, that's really all the positives I really have to say about this game. Oh boy, where do I start with this. While the controls and gameplay can be easily understood, everything else outside of golfing and the writing in this game is unintentionally and intentionally a complete mess.

Master Shake and Frylock are somehow some of the slowest characters I've ever played as in a video game, they walk at crawling pace, making the stages feel way longer than they actually are.

Also game constantly spawns in a overabundance of overpowered enemies which always shoot projectiles at you. causing you to have to repeat the stage from the beginning. When your slowest character ever and are having to walk all that way while having to constantly fight against enemies, it starts to become a repetitive and tiring experience.

And now, for the worst part of the game, those goddamn golf cart racing stages. Broken physics, a poorly programmed cpu, shitty powerups, all mashed together with constant over repetitive low quality voice lines of Patton Oswalt screeching and calling the player a loser. These stages were my honest to god breaking point.

I honestly don't understand how this game was approved to be released in this state, especially when coming from Midway.

The Bottom Line
If your a fan of ATHF or are an video game nerd who's angry, go ahead, you will get a decent amount of laughs out of this game, especially while playing with a friend group, but if your seriously looking for a goofy action platformer/golf hybrid game to get into, PLEASE avoid this game and watch just watch the cutscenes or instead play Ninja Golf on the Atari 7800, which was the inspiration for this game. It's available to purchase as an official cartridge on Atari's website or in the Atari 50 Collection.
