1930s funny - The game was easy to use, offline. I plugged the game in and could play like anygameboy game. The black and white is similar to "steamboat mickey"; with comical rats bouncin, kicken, and shootin. The game is more for adults since the shooting and what happens to the enemy. Great 1930s feeling with sights and sounds of the era. The style is laid back and linear, with characters appearing as a 2-dimensional paper cartoon, which turns and faces you at all times. The environments got a few places to explore and in a 3-dimensional city. Action at yer pace.
