Some of the sidequests are plucked straight from the first game. You also have a variety of explosives at your disposal such as poison and ice grenades. They're effective at taking out enemies from a distance and provide many more strategic possibilities in battle. In Thongs of Virtue you have access to machine guns, bazookas, and lasers - really fun stuff. I don't know about you, but I found the crossbows pretty ineffectual in the first game and ended up ignoring them. The new ranged weapons are a significant improvement to your arsenal. You can play with a bunch of fun new weapons and battle new enemies. Here you'll be visiting battlefields that recall World War II, the Old West, and robot factories. Gone are the mostly fantasy areas of DeathSpank. While this sequel does feel very much like the original and sends you on the same sorts of quests, you will be traveling to quite different locales. And there’s more! DeathSpank does not fight alone but with the amazingly cool Ninja Steve Greedy (a Ninja named Steve, I know, I know! Don’t we ever stop?) letting your real-life flesh friends play alongside you in two-player local co-op as DeathSpank quests for the six Thongs of Virtue! DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue is the high quality, low priced romp for XBLA/PSN that’s less filling than the other brands, and tastes great.Created by Ron Gilbert, the legendary mind behind Monkey Island, DeathSpank is the rarest of the rare: an honestly funny, fun video game.Thongs of Virtue picks up a while after DeathSpank left off, with the hero having defeated who he thought was his arch nemesis - only to learn there are others in the circle of evil that need be brought to justice.

It’s like, he’s a well rounded character not content with just smashing and stabbing things, he needs to think too, you know? He has feelings. With all the hacking and the slashing, DeathSpank makes some time on the side to explore his puzzle solving hobby. We say this along with other, less printable things, of course, but the jist is there. Internally we say it’s what would happen if you put those two games in a sack with a Mad Magazine joke collection and let them fight it out Thunderdome-style. In press releases we say DeathSpank is Monkey Island meets Diablo, a hack and slash action RPG set on a massive, dangerous, world shaped like an Edison Gramaphone Cylinder. But then again, we like to think a lot of things. We like to think DeathSpank is jam-packed of what is missing in video games - story, solid gameplay, and (intentional) humor. Now that the palate is cleansed, let’s consider DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue, created by Ron Gilbert, the legendary mind behind Monkey Island.
