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.

Rats, it didn't work. The Godfather II still stinks.
