Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

For those of us who have always wanted to visit Arlen, Texas, but have never been able to organize a trip, now all the thrills come to the home computer with King of the Hill. Inspired by the hit TV show, it features the Hills and their neighbors in 20 different Fourth of July games and activities, such as Barbecue, which Hank Hill says is "the only cooking that should be done by a man." Mow Hank's lawn quickly and thoroughly to win the lawn mower race. Go on a scavenger hunt in the Hill house with Bobby. Peggy's Tic Tac Toss game combines her favorite hobbies: word games and softball. Bill tries to re-create his first date with Lenore, his ex-wife, by building a miniature golf course. While Lenore will nevermore use it, that doesn't stop you. Meanwhile, Dale has turned his backyard into a paintball course, and you'll find old appliances and other objects to hide behind. Paintball, of course, is just practice for a trip with the Arlen Huntin' Club.

1.0 out of 5 stars Arlen's never been so bland, December 30, 2000

By

This review is from: King of the Hill (CD-ROM)

When I purchased King of the Hill, I had hopes that it would be as good as Virtual Springfield, the CD-ROM based on The Simpsons released several years ago. I couldn't be further from the truth.

First, the game is monotonous. It's the same games, same remarks, same everything with each game. In addition, at least 2 of the games in the Hootenany section are readily available on the Internet in the form of free Shockwave games. The games are horribly boring and are over in a matter of a few minutes. There is very limited interactivity with the people in Arlen and with the places you can go while in Hank Hill's house.

In short, save your money. The TV show is exponentially more entertaining than this piece of dreck.

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: King of the Hill (CD-ROM)

As much as I LOVE King of the Hill, I hoped the game would be even partially as entertaining.

No such luck.

This game is boring, monotonous, way too simple, and predictable.
It might be good for a child.

I'd rather watch the shows. Too bad, though. A video or computer game would have been SO much fun!
