This is another Halloween episode from the nerd and is part 1 in a two parter. I'll admit this isn't one of my favorite episodes, let alone two partners but it's fun all the same.
I'll admit when I first discovered there was a game based on one of my favorite horror movies "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" I was really stunned. I never really grew up with the "Atari 2600" I was an NES guy, but I have known most of the game from that system but I honest didn't know this game ever existed for that system. Let alone they attempted to make a survival horror game for the Atari 2600 based on a R Rated horror film, that must've taken some balls to do that.
Well for the game all I can say is they tried but didn't make the cut. It's cool you play as Leatherface, but the problem is this game is so boring because there hardly anything else to do in the game to keep it interesting. Some of the animation is odd and unimpressive, alright I know it's an Atari 2600 but at least with their quality games they put effort in making them look good.
Like that car in the background does look bigger than the house, Leatherface's chainsaw is colored blue which makes it look weird, I honestly don't know why they couldn't give it a gray or silver color. Even the kills are strange once you hit the victims they turn into what look like tea cups, ok I know the red graphic up and down is suppose to be blood and the middle is the character lying down but it's really hard to tell unless you imagine really really hard.
James as usual is good, really liked his comments about getting stopped by the smallest obstacles which any human can easily walk past. Thought that works to James advantage when he's being chased by Leatherface.
The real highlight of the episode is in the very beginning when James and the Hillbilly seller are in business negotiations, really liked their back and forth, it's funny when James points out and puzzling over a certain logo image from the out of business video game company which is suppose to be an explosion I think, really like the Hillbilly's reply back on what the logo is, which is also ironic to what the game really is.
This episode makes the cut.
