Hmmm, I feel inclined to write a review to balance the good reviews this game’s been getting.

I don’t hate this game, it’s an original concept and you’ll see it for the first time and chuckle at your character, a fairly well drawn, cartoony thug. But the first level, at least, looks very ugly. The background is just sparse and white, the pavement a gradient backdrop. This isn’t the best looking game ever.

After walking around for a bit, you’ll notice your pants start to fall down (obviously buying a belt was out of the question for this particular thug). Oh hah hah, you may think, and chuckle again. But the novelty soon wears off as you constantly walk around the town tapping the control key. Your pants fall down if you’re not moving, which is annoying to me as I write this review… oh damn, I’ve been arrested for “indecent exposure” again, to which I am inclined to say “what the fuck!” He still has his underpants on! Funny maybe, but annoying, definitely.

It’s an adventure game, pressing keys to correspond to actions. The games weakness is your total lack of choice. Press the wrong key, and you’ll inevitably wind up with a bullet in your thorax. E.g. give the guy his stereo back and he’ll shoot you. WHY? You can’t rob the clerk of the store (he shoots you), unless you push a sign over first. Sorry, I don’t get it.

Moving swiftly on, one word for each: music: unoriginal, sound: basic, presentation: below average (OK, that’s 2 words, sue me), lastability: none.

Overall, it’s a vaguely amusing caricature of ”thug culture”, let down by its linearity, and annoyances. Get shot and you have to start all over. It’s not going to last you for long, once you’ve seen one pants falling down joke, you’ve seen them all. Thuginit is very original, one of the few positive things I can say about it.

Only worth the download if you’re bored. 4/10.
