This game is certainly different from any other games I've ever played, which is one of the reasons I like it. It's just good, mindless, comical fun --- with two players, anyway! Playing against the computer can actually be more frustrating than fun (especially when you're trying to unlock stuff and the computer keeps beating you), but with two players, the game can be an absolute riot! My brother and I love to play this game together in the Co-op mode. It may seem like there's not much you can do on this game, but if you don't give up on it because it seems too simple and limited, you may see that there is much more than first meets the eye! If you look, there are really all kinds of nasty (but funny) tricks that you can pull! You can even use the "hazards" in various stages to your advantage! (For example, you can purposely hit the horses in Frontiersville with a prank, and have them trample lots of people --- although you still have to watch out for them yourself!) My bro and I have a blast wreaking havoc among those crazy Earthlings! The fun that can be had with two players more than makes up for the headaches that the computer can cause you, at least in our opinion! About the biggest complaint that we have about the game is that some of the stages are too small.

I first played a demo of Under The Skin a couple of years ago, and liked it. now that i had the resources to get it, i figured i'd try it. The game can be fun, but you can easily get tired of it quickly, and even beat it in under an hour. The gameplay consists of playing pranks on humans, stealing their images and dodging their fists. The game also has more gameplay modes like cooperative and versus modes, and up to two can play at once. Not a great game, but it's only $20, so if you wanna get in trouble without the consequence, Under The Skin is for you.

What this game looks like, is what you'll get. If it looks like an OK game like it did for me, it will be. If you're still a kid, and you're still at the age where other people's pain and toilet humor are still hilarious, the game will be hilarious. So, in other words, I reccomend the game your young kids, and warn any teenagers that are interested in this game- this is a game you play when you are bored and have nothing better to do, and even then, it won't entertain you much. It is only good for a few short rounds. From then, you start losing interest. Last but not least, I extremely disreccomend the game for anyone of great seriousness and/or over-maturity. This game it OK, but not good.
