    Just letting it out there, Deadpool the game is hilarious. It's from High Moon Studios, makers of the awesome, fantastically fun Transformers games, which happen to be official lore. Transformers can be really fun when Michael Bay isn't involved. High Moon Studios seem to get their games done. Their games are never the best looking, but boy are they smooth and they just work. Voice work, script tend to be decent and Deadpool is no exception.

    Compared to Transformers, Deadpool graphically is nowhere close. I imagine it was a very small budget with time constraints, had to get it out there fast. Despite that, it's still an enjoyable game. It's non-stop hilarity and vulgarity. Don't worry, it's not non-stop swearing though. It's just bathroom humor and obnoxious action. It's just plain fun.

    And plenty of times during the game, Deadpool and his inner personalities make fun of fanatical comic book fans. It's awesome. Unlike Transofrmers, not official lore.

    If you can get this game for less than $10, I say it's a must buy and get ready to smile and laugh for a few hours.

    I'll second this. I just started playing about a week ago, haven't been able to put more than 2 hours into it, but it is great. If you enjoy the most recent run in deadpool comics (especially the Deadpool Kills ______ series) then you'll get a kick out of it. Game is good looking, animation is fluid, moves aren't the most excited but it's a decent button mashing experience that requires light strategy.

    If you like Deadpool, get it. If you don't, it's still not a bad buy but you may find it cheesy/juvenile.

    It also pokes fun at indie developers and budget constraints that AAA games often blow up. The devs have a lot of humor to pass around.
