I thought this game was going to be good...And to be truthful, it was!

Gameplay--You start out playing as a bored Jamaican...And he gets a very strange (and fun) idea for something to do: poke everyone in sight!  Just make sure not to get caught for it (or getting poked to death yourself)!  As for poking weapons, you start out poking people using only your index finger (the classic), and as you progress through the game, you can upgrade your poking weapons to get more than one person, and from farther away!  When you get to the second level, for example, you get the Pokey Stick, which has an extended range (...shut up, Stüssy!), and WAY later in the game, you get the Gunge Stick, which can poke the strongest person in a group.  Very useful for getting rid of the hard-to-poke people...

Graphics--The graphics are well done!  And beyond that, like Turok 2 for example, there are many spots where you can poke someone, and a lot of them have different reactions, depending on where you poke them.

Music--The music isn't much, since you have to concentrate on poking people, but the sound effects are what's great about this game!  If you poke someone, they'll either yell or hurl expletives at you (which most are censored...It figures, ESRB's at it again), or groan in pain, if you hit them in the right place with  your poking weapon!

Control--The controls are great!  Even a beginner could learn them!  This REALLY helps in the harder levels when you have to poke more than one person at a time...

Fun Factor--It's a GREAT game!  You'll be hooked on it once you've played it!

Overall Satisfaction--If you like poking people, this is the game for you!  There's nothing more to say here, I already said what I needed to...Except that there's no such game, which is a problem...

Highs: Poking people!  What more could you possibly want?
Lows: I don't see anything wrong with the game...Do you?
Score: 10
