This game is good in capturing the shows feel. It's sick, twisted, and still, fun. When your Gwar tickets get eaten, puked back up, and sent through a lawnmower you got to track down each piece. In doing so you explore the town that Beavis and Butthead lives in and interact with many familure faces if you watch the show. Fun, yet, hard game to beat. Love it none the less, worth the buy no matter if you're pro-Beavis and Butthead or not.

One of the many memories of the 16-bit console wars between Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo I had was comparing games that had come out on both systems. Typically, the SNES version of the game was better. However, there were a few rare occasions where a Sega Genesis version of a game was superior. In this instance, I remember being very pleasantly surprised, because both systems got very different games, and the Sega Genesis version was clearly much better and more fun.

The plot of the game is pretty simple. Beavis and Butthead find out their favorite band Gwar is coming to play in their town soon, so they purchase a pair of tickets. The tickets get eaten by the neighbors dog, who then pukes them into a lawnmower. The wind sweeps away the ticket pieces. Rather than go out and buy more tickets (I assume they couldn't afford another pair) Beavis and Butthead embark on a quest to find the ticket pieces. And so our game begins...

First off, the style of this game is quite enjoyable. Beavis and Butthead are both playable characters. Two players can lead Beavis and Butthead or one player can control either Beavis or Butthead while allowing the computer to control the other character. You can switch at any time, and only the character you are playing as will take damage. In short, the computer will not get you killed, which is a giant relief.

Beavis and Butthead start off without items or weapons. Beavis will belch a noxious green gas to attack enemies while Butthead relies on a slower fart move. Right off the bat, Beavis is the preferrable character. You pick up items and try to figure out the use of each item as you explore Highland Hig School, The Mall, Burger World, The Drive-In, The Hospital, The Street, and ultimately The Gwar Concert. You choose which area you want to visit, and each area can be visited multiple times. The whole point is to pick up items and figure out where and how to use them, ultimately to find the ticket pieces. This is quite a fun inventory game that almost reminds me of the old Sierra-Nevada games, like Space Quest or King's Quest. For example: at Burgerworld, find a dead rat by the dumpster, go inside to where the deep fat fryer is, drop the french fries and the dead rat in the fryer to make a disgusting dead-rat fries meal, and then serve it to the angry customer. He will pay you, and then eat the fries, dead rat and all, and then puke. In his puke is a ticket piece.

You will find other neat things, such as different weapons. A straw can be used as a spitball shooter, and there are also toy dart guns which you can use. If you have the spare cash, you can purchase a frogball bat for Butthead to have as a weapon. One of the tougher situations to manage in the game is money management. There are only a few items in the game you can actually sell, and you will not get much money. The Drive-In requires you pay $5 admission, so be sure you have what you need before you seriously attempt this part of the game, otherwise you risk wasting your money and one chance to get the ticket piece for that area. This should also dissuade gamers from jumping the gun and spending the money unwisely too early.

Most noteable about the game is the couch-fishing part of the game. Once you have the fishing pole, you will be able to use certain items as bait for couch-fishing. I will go ahead and spoil this much: Never use the boot as bait, or you will die. Plain and simple. The rest is for you to discover. This game can seem pretty tough at times because of getting stuck on a certain situation, just think things through in a "Beavis and Butthead" mentality and you may be surprised by the solution. Also, there are a couple hints hidden in the game, most noteably Mr. Van Dreissan's classroom.

There's alot to like about this game. The music is actually really good for a Sega Genesis game, and the sound effects are also good. Beavis and Butthead sound great, and the only audible flaw is the overuse of the stock soundbite "grunt" that is applied to all the enemies when taking damage. The game looks very good, and represents Mike Judge's cartoon very well.

There's even a very cool hidden ending. If you got the extra items in the game, you can use them after gaining admission past the gate at the Gwar show to be a slave during the Gwar show. Very cool!

The game has some funny hidden jokes, and some of the manners in which you acquire the Gwar tickets are hilarious. A little practice and patience are required during some of the tougher areas, such as The Street or the chase at the Hospital, but other than that, the toughest part of the game is figuring out what you have to do to acquire the ticket pieces. Figuring out what to do is half the fun, though.

The only complaint I have about the game is in regards to Couch Fishing. You are going to seriously blister your fingers trying to reel in your catch unless you have a Turbo controller. Other than that, this is a very overlooked installment in the Genesis' library. Even Beavis wouldn't be able to say "This sucks!"

This game is so much fun. It is a two player coopertive game where you can be Beavis or Butthead. Beavis burps as an attack and Butthead farts. They lose their GWAR tickets in the beginning and the plot of the game is for you to go around and find the tickets while exploring Highland and encountering enemies that you must burp or fart on. Bottom Line: this is truly a fun game.

Very very fun side scrolling action, great game.

It has quite a challenge to it and is an addicting game once picked up you can't set it down.

5/5

Most games based on TV shows or movies suck, but not this one!

Graphics:10/10: Very cartoony and detailed! Clean and crisp.

Music:10/10: Rockin and stylish

Sound:10/10: Very good voices and sounds

Story:8/10: Beavis and Butt-head have tickets to a GWAR concert. Mr. Anderson's poodle takes them and runs to his yard. The dog then pukes them out, and Mr. Anderson mows the tickets with the mower. Now they must find the ticket pieces to see their concert. A simple, yet fun story.

Gameplay:10/10: Challanging! Play as Beavis or Butt-head and go through worlds fighting enimies and solving puzzles in order to get your GWAR ticket pieces! Fun!

If you have a Genesis, you need to get this!! Also, try to get a factory sealed game. It has a poster!

I bought this game last year for 20 bucks it was worth it at the time but now after i beat this game i dont feel like playing it again I would rate this game as three stars but its funny like the show if you like the show you might like this game.
