Baddest of the Bands is part three in the five part episodic video game, Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People (based on the awesomeness that is Homestarrunner.com). In my opinion, Baddest of the Bands is the best entry yet. It’s more challenging and funnier than the previous games.

The Game begins when Strong Bad’s video game console, the Fun Machine, breaks while playing a game of Limozeen’s Hot Babelien Odysey, so he sets off to get it repaired. Unfortunately, Strong Bad doesn’t have enough money to pay Bubs for the repairs, and he can’t just work for Bubs, that’s not convoluted enough, so he does what Limozeen would do, host a battle royal of the bands! But first he has to find enough bands to qualify for the event, and eventually Strong Bad has to enter the contest himself to win his own prize money!

The story is everything it should be, and it equals (if not surpasses) Strong Badia the Free’s plot. The plot-line could have easily been used for one of the Homestarrunner cartoons, which is very much a complement.

The gameplay, while still similar to the previous two episodes, is made even better by more difficult puzzles. I spent a lot more time scratching my head this time around than with the first two games. But thankfully they aren’t so hard that you just want to throw your controller at the your television set and call it a day. Those brief problems with the graphics also seem less frequent.

All in all I find SBCG4AP to be a very enjoyable Strong Bad experience (that sounds like a good band name right there). It’s especially fun to see/hear the different bands perform their songs, like the number one hit single from the Two-O-Duo (Bubs and Coach Z), Stealing Stuff From my own Dang Store. Or the R&B single, Food Related Love, by Pomstar (Pom Pom and Homestar).

Baddest of the Bands is a very funny, very entertaining video game, and I have really high hopes for the next installment, Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People – Episode 4: Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective (which quite possibly has the longest title in video game history).

Because It’s Midnight!
