Kieron Gillen at Rock Paper Shotgun tries to convince himself that Stalin vs. Martians isn't awful. Frankly, any time I read someone going through verbal gymnastics to avoid simply saying something is awful, a red flag goes up. And it doesn't have a hammer and sickle on it!
Mr. Gillen comes closest to sounding convincing when he suggests the game is actually satire.Would I recommend you buy it after my experience of five of its twelve levels? For fifteen quid? Not on your nelly. But there's certainly car-crash value, especially if you tie yourself in theoretical knots deciding exactly how much of the game is satire.
Ooh, I'm going to try that approach. The Godfather II is satire!
Rats, it didn't work. The Godfather II still stinks.
