Another
quality title from Data East! This game is fucked up in about every aspect
of play, from ripping traffic light poles out of the ground to powering
up with PowerCola! You play one of the Two Crude Dudes who have been hired
by the President of the United States to take out the terrorist threat of
the old world. The game takes place in a variety of levels in a post apocalypse
world...
What's it all about?
Based on the arcade game, it's a slower-paced action title. Using one, or
both(with a buddy), of the Crude Dudes you make you way around the level
punching and kicking the various enemies dumb enough to come within range.
Past your fists, the Dudes also rely heavily on their ability to pick up
items in the levels, and pitch them at enemies. Street signs, poles, cars,
even enemies can be picked up and thrown into the oncoming hordes.

Graphics
- Excellent, excellent, excellent! More of that Date East-style
art that I’ve come to love over the years. Some levels have special
effects like snow and multi parallax backgrounds that add to the mood of
a post apocalyptic world. |
Sound
- More Data East-style music(the good stuff) and decent sound effects. |
Control
- Pretty good, it’s only hindered by how damn slow your character
is. Though, as slow as he may be, you can still do the necessary things
to whip ass without a problem. |
AI
- The cheap hits are there, and the some of the bosses are unbelievably
hard. |
Replay
value - Great, you can play and play and play! There are loads
of safe spots to find as well as different techniques to use. Two player
games are a blast, nothing like throwing your buddy into hordes of mutants. |
Tips
for better gaming experiences: Throwing
something or someone is the most powerful attack you have in the game. Throw
as much as you can, whenever you can(just like these supposed Street Fighter
"champions" do)...bosses will go down so much quicker.

Genie:
The dudes a little too crude? The enemies kind of rude? Got you in
a bad mood? Wish the women were nude? Genie's your dude! |

My
rating: 80(out of 100) - A quirky, old school arcade title with

JD's blabber: It’s kinda cheesy. The cheap hits will annoy
you and the endless hordes of enemies get old real quick. I didn’t
care for it.....meow. |

It's
the flamboyantly gay cartoon effects, without the flamboyantly gay characters...well,
ok, not all of them...

As
refreshing as crack, and half the price! |

Interesting
Tidbits:
These bastards dance a bit of a jig when they beat a level! It's quite amusing... |
