The biggest issues I had with the last game still exist. At least now most of them tell you where the quest giver is so you can go back to them without having to wander around.
The last game had poor hints and even the quest descriptions were pretty poor. I actually found the fortune cookie hints to be more useful this time around and rarely needed to use a walkthrough. There’s even an area where you can steer a pirate ship and go to little islands to get quest items as well. There are more characters to talk to which means hours of funny and strange dialog. The level cap is 20 again, but it takes a bit longer to get there this time around. Running around and whacking enemies is the name of the game, but only certain ones can be beaten when you are at a higher level. You can probably finish most of the game in about 15 hours, or 20 if you are slow. There are more areas to explore in this game which means it’s a bit longer. Some chests can only be opened with special keys that have to be fitted b a locksmith though. The same food, potions, and other little tidbits like chests. There are new armor and weapons in this game, but everything else is the same. As you do quests for various people you pick up more powerful armor and weapons along the way. You can warp around the world via outhouses and you will revive at the nearest one if you die. The game is broken up into several areas just like the first game. The story is about DeathSpank trying to retrieve three thongs from three evil bosses, but in between, you can do about 150 side quests. Unfortunately, the game also carries over the same problems from the first game so not a single thing was fixed or changed. The game is exactly the same, but with new content. Thongs of Virtue is the direct sequel but feels more like an expansion. The first DeathSpank gave us some solid RPG action with really funny dialog and wit.
