News::Game's 'Christmas Shopper' sequel is hilariously bad

The insanity of Black Friday is almost upon us and to celebrate, British retailer Game has dropped an intentionally bad PC and Mac title called Christmas Shopper Simulator 2: Black Friday. That's right, this is weirdly a sequel. The company pulled a similar stunt last year with a free game that had you running around a shopping centre and generally causing mayhem. Its follow-up has a near-identical premise filled with barmy challenges, ragdoll controls and poorly animated NPCs. Progressing through the game unlocks special rewards -- within 10 minutes I had earned the ability to switch to a first-person perspective -- but most of the entertainment comes from simply sprinting around like a lunatic. The bare-bones sandbox is also filled with absurd stores that play on popular games and British brands. To name but a few, there's a falconry shop called "Britain's Got Talons," an Irish cinema chain named "O'Deans" and "Snakes Solid Boxes." Depending on your perspective, the game is either downright bad or 'so bad, it's good.' We'll let you be the judge.
