Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People
released on Aug 11, 2008
You may already know Strong Bad from his regular appearances answering emails and doling out not-so-useful advice on Homestarrunner.com. Now he's the star of a five episode comedy series, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. With all new storylines co-written by the guys from Homestarrunner.com, you'll feel like you're inside Strong Bad's world. (You may even start to talk like him!) Each episode has a different theme and you get to hang out with with Homestar, The Cheat, Bubs — the whole crew. It's like a Strong Bad cartoon on steroids. As Strong Bad would say, what the crap are you waiting for?

Insanely fun and charming. I grew up watching Homestar Runner, and this game captures the spirit really well. That said, the puzzles are pretty mindless and as a point and click, there's not a ton beneath the surface. Worth it simply for the voice acting and humor, though, which says a lot about how great an adaptation this is.
Homestar Ruiner - 6/10
Strong Badia The Free - 7.5/10
Baddest of the Bands - 7.5/10
Dangeresque 3 - 10/10
8-Bit is Enough - 8.5/10
When I played this for the first time in middle school i thought it was the bees knees, but it's got a lot of filler coming back to it - the rapid-fire razor-sharp comedy of homestar is hard to stretch out to 5 games at 4-hour length each. The snippets of good content is definitely worth the trip though
Best part of the experience was getting to Dangeresque 3 in a call with Vi, it's always a treat seeing ppl react to strong bad stuff for the first time

Once again, if you love Homestar Runner, this game is for you. It's 5 episodes chock full of H*R brand humor & quirkiness. It made for a fantastic introduction to the WiiWare service for me all those years ago. I find myself quoting Homestar cartoons almost daily it seems, so yeah, this series of Telltale point-'n-click goodness was right up my alley.
Basically an interactive toon - if you like Homestar Runner, it's basically more of that in playable form. While the writing is largely as sharp as ever, there are a small handful of weirdly edgy lines here and there that felt a little out of line with H*R's usual tone. The puzzle design is also often as obtuse as to be expected with this style of game, with the current solution sometimes not being entirely clear and leading you to rely on guides unless you want to try "use cat on fence"-type trial-and-error. Overall an enjoyable time though, with charm to spare.
The magnum opus of Telltale Games, SBCG4AP captures everything great about Homestar Runner across all 5 episodes of this wonderful point and click adventure.
Homestarrunner is great but not all of this game really hits.
