The best episode of Party Down (tied with every other episode) is “Not On Your Wife Opening Night,” in part because of its pitch-perfect community theater parody. There’s something honorable about the earnest “let’s put on a show!” mentality, even if the end result is less than stellar.
Yikes, what an on-the-nose comparison. 100ft Robot Golf is not a new episode of Party Down, which is the saddest thing I’ve ever had to write. Rather, the game feels like a community theater video game. Two people made this goofy video game about robots golfing and recruited their friends to help out -- the fact that Robot Golf exists at all is really neat and speaks to the often loose, collaborative nature of the games industry.
Too bad about the game itself. The chaos implied by 100ft Robot Golf’s wild, imaginative title never fully materializes, instead leaving players with some fine jokes, obvious anime references, and a kinda crummy golf game. We’ve seen video games designed specifically for Let’s Players, but this is a rare example of a game that is best experienced through a Let’s Play.
