"Still up there as one of the parody kings"
I thought this might not be as hilarious as the first Metal Gear Awesome, but you shut me up right at the start. Most of all, it addresses the way I thought the first one was far too short for a parody of a game far too easy to make a parody of.
The best game parodies play off the real feelings someone gets while play the damn thing, rather than just hopeless references, which I'm glad to say, this flash does perfectly. Those damn cigarette lasers!
As before, voice acting is top-notch. Animation, while not intended to be a high point is at least, very presentable. Finally, it's good to know you love the fans!
So yeah, I enjoyed it as much as the first one. I was hoping for the full game, but this would do fine. After all, I didn't know you had to change controller ports...

You've already addressed the file size; I think it is justified.
The sound quality is very good, and the homemade tracks themselves aren't bad either, which is obviously a must in a music-orientated game. I saw no problems with the sound at all, other than my personal taste.
While it's not a uber-graphics game, what's there is adequate and the dancing animations are quite good from the top down view. Sometimes they jumped a little, but this is all a matter of whatever buttons I'm using.
The instructions were also well-written and helped me understand the game straight away. If there were any improvements to be had, I'd look at the gameplay, though that would probably jack up the filesize further.
Overall, not a bad attempt at all.

I really enjoyed the song, and the animation really...goes with it. I stress "goes" because the song doesn't flow, rather it's a mashed up stew of Love. This is also exactly how the animation behaves through it's good artwork.
While I think in some places I think the artwork could be slightly better, the animation works fine and does it's soundtrack justice. I'm a fan of these neo-psychadelic pieces, which is definately a factor when I view it.
Overall, good. Could've been slightly better in places but I like it. Does what a music video should do.

Thanks, man! I just didn't think so much about art and animation this time... I tried to make a music video who FIT the song. You know all there random music videos like "Ekkosangen" or all the random stuff by yotam perel. I guess i did it :)

I love the style of this game, and I'm not usually one for these type of game. It's quite refreshing to see a challenging music game on this website. That being said, it is very challenging and I've failed to get good at it yet. Well, there's only one cure for that: try until my head explodes!
The graphics and art are brilliant, not just within the deceptively simple gameplay, but also in the entertaining prologue and disastrous consequences when the player loses. In the latter, reading the small newspaper also turned out to be "one of those little things you can't miss" if you get that. You probably won't.
The sound was top-notch, and I never found a fault in it. My one little criticism is that the sound sometimes didn't match the beats the player takes against the enemies. Maybe it's just me, I don't know; maybe I should increase my abiities.
The controls seemed a little complex at moments, though not hugely hard to work with. It's another one of those "get the hang of" things I suppose.
Overall, entertaining and challenging. Pretty good for spending any lost time with.

glad you like it.
For sounds not quite being on beat, I've looked through all my synching and tested it over and over again. I've come to realize that they feel on beat if you hit them right, otherwise the human player kinda loses track of beat. Anyhow there are a few tiny issues in song 3 because it's so long but I spent a long time making sure everything was on beat.

First of all, the graphics and animations are top notch. It makes this humourous piece all the more pretty.
The music in the background is fairly irritating and it don't think it really contributes to the humour, but the voices were well done. They were ocassionally drowned out by the music but that's okay.
It was funny too, though the main joke didn't take too many forms; it was pretty repetitive. Maybe it's supposed to be like that, I'm not sure but I think a bit of improvement can be made here.
Either way, nice job. 7/10.

The graphics and (the little) animation wasn't too bad. I love the jolly credit music; good choice. I giggled at the joke, and I love these short animations. I look forward to seeing more.
In future, just make it a tidgey bit longer...

Thanks for the review, I am aware that this was a short animation but that was intentional. Just a quickie I whipped up in a couple of hours. Thanks for the constructive critisizm.

I liked it, I think there were a good choice of pictures, and a good choice of music to sync the pictures, and the "message" is put across well.
The effects on the first part got a little irritating to look at after a bit, and there were maybe too many pictures on this part.
Still, nice work.

The graphics were very slick, and the animation wasn't too bad either, so fine job there. The sound was kinda loud in the shower, but I enjoyed the splish-splash song. Finally, the story made me chuckle; I'm sure it's exactly how it happened...
Good work. 6.

lol. I'm glad you liked it - It took me like an hour to make though, rushed - But I can make decent stuff quickly, I'm glad you liked it.

The graphics are actually pretty good, better than most I see, but there's a slight lack of proper animation. It'd be nice to see some better animation. The sound quality is kind of stodgy, but it's satisfactory and quite funny too (lol Northerners).
As with most things on here, it's humour comes from its stupid part. Good job, I look forward to more with hopefully an improvement in animation.

...but it doesn't really cover what the movie will be about, for example any storyline or any characters. Nice choice of sound for a fighting movie and some pretty nice animation too. I think it has potential but this teaser turns me off from it a little bit. Just expand on what you already have.
