First of all, take the game itself. Who wouldn't want to play a bulked-up, backwoods lumberjack (as if there is any other kind). And not just any bulked-up, backwoods lumberjack, but a “Fearless” bulked-up, backwoods lumberjack (that’s "Fearless" with a capital “F”!). How fearless, you ask? How about fighting off werewolves on cold winter nights, is that good enough for you? What do you do on cold winter nights?
Take a gander at the arsenal that you can acquire. This is not your ordinary, everyday NRA sanctioned collection of weapons (well, maybe it is)- these are historical weapons!
The game play itself looks awesome- swinging axes, riding zip lines, firing some kind of crossbow thingy, and best of all- swinging axes!
But by far, the best part of this whole thing is the presentation. Let’s skip right past the old movie "marquee card" style of writing- with the classic mixture of uppercase and lowercase fonts splashed liberally across the screen. And I don’t need to comment on the two minutes and four seconds (including credits) of pulse-pounding, in-your-face action scenes. They speak for themselves. What really, really sets this apart for me is the background music.
Sure, it starts off with the usual subtle, foreboding lead-in music. We've only heard it about a million times before. But when the action lets loose, so does the music! What kind of music is this anyway? Is this some kind of Irish music? Some kind of Scottish music? Is this some kind of Jig? Whatever it is, it works! While the local folk are presumably back in town, swinging their dates around at the hoedown,- you, my friend, are deep in the dark, frigid woods, swinging axes into werewolves!
As the one and only video comment (to date) so succinctly puts it, and I quote in full: “Cool”.
'Nuff said!
Turn down the lights and prepare yourself as you enter the world of werewolf killing lumberjacks!
