Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is a periodic graphic adventure based on the web series "Homestar Runner". Which is developed and distributed by Telltale Games with release date on 18 December 2008 (when the full package was released) and a Point & Click involving adventure and comedy.
In the game control Strong Bad and over these five chapters live part of everyday life of the character and it can delve into and better understand who he is and his personality which I refer to all the characters, has very striking features.
In addition to the typical gameplay mode, there is also between chapters games that are parodies of several classic games, which, depending on their age, will bring you a great nostalgia. In addition to games, there are collectibles that can be anything from clothes to certain diversified items to so extend your game and give you a little more challenge or at least a passing time to be done while in the middle of a mission / task or another.
There is a way in game you can take pictures of some time and to bring a little more fun, there is an area that is a studio where you can use the clothes in the middle of the game and can choose a background to create personalized photos .
Of the humor is present in the story itself, and unlike many of which can address more serious themes games, but end up spending mood by situations. For example Deponia briefly in which the story has to do with saving the main character of the planet and in the midst of this plot are emposta lines and fragments where there is a great mood. Despite the other episodes are completely focused more random for humor, as already said, however the second episode despite its dose of humor forced him seems to tend to a mood sarcastically calling attention to politics. Here the synopsis:

Episode 2 - “As the episode begins, The King of Town institutes an e-mail tax. Strong Bad is the most heavily affected. However, being unaware of the existence of the tax, he is put under house arrest (with an explosive collar around his neck), a predicament that leads him to unite the citizens to rise up against the authorities. Strong Bad then declares his own plot of land (an empty lot featuring a fence, a spare tire, and a graffiti'd stop sign, which Strong Bad has named "Strong Badia") an independent nation. The inspirational speech he gives to the citizens inspires them to create their own independent countries. In order to overthrow the King of Town, Strong Bad must work his way through the countries and unite Free Country USA once again under the Strong Badian flag. ”

Things that caught my attention in particular:

- The fact that it was made based on an animation directed to the web.
- Minigames which diversifies the standard of play mode.
- Masking of another character, both to hit picture as to interact in gameplay. Unfortunately use in gameplay is limited to restricted clothes.
- Secondary tasks.

Finally, Strong Bad's was a game that turned me surprising both for its humor, I came to doubt whether it was really good, as to their quality and why not say the mechanical part in innovation which made the gameplay much more fun and consistent . Deserving my positive note.

If your a Homestar Runner fan, get this game. If your not a Homestar Runner fan, watch all the Strong Bad Emails (by the way there are 204 episodes of Strong Bad Emails), Everybody to the Limit, and this years april fools toon. THEN get this game. Every episode is like a really long interactive sbemail (Strong Bad Email) and I love it! If I were to choose my favorite though it would be a tie between Strong Badia the Free, and Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective. I hope very much they would make a Season 2. In Conclusion, this game was worth every penny out of my dad's credit card.

This is exactly like Homestar Runner cartoons except in HD so if you don't like Homestar Runner, do not buy this. Additionally, throw yourself out the nearest window, filthy joke-hating degenerate.

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive people is a ncie point and click game. Each episode is very unique. As an adventure game you may find yourself stuck at times. Other times I swore up and down I had done everything then I redid everything and it turned out I didn't.
If you like the webseries Homestar runner there's a lot to love here. You learn a lot about the characters and they're each well represented and voiced.
The games aren't exactly hard, but more on the average scale. Poking around for missed items and clues will sometimes yield a special item. I don't remember if something special happens when you collect them all but you might get an attaboy. The only collectible quest I really tried on was one with Teen Girl Sqaud because you could make your own TGS comic where you kill them all. They're also voiced.
It's not really like Telltales' more recent efforts, it's closer to the Sam & Max series. That probably sums up whether you'll like this series.

I'm not a Strong Bad fan especially (though I enjoy the flash games on the site), but having just finished Episode 1, I have to recommend this game. It's a pre-TWD Telltale episodic adventure, set in the wacky town of Homestar Runner. It's funny, the puzzles make sense, and it's overall a blast to play.

Am a little fifty fifty on this one, I personally didn't enjoy it that much although there was some fun moments. The game itself is not that bad, neat graphics nice audio simple gameplay it is exactly like the cartoon series homestar runner which I personally didn't watch. I found it more for kids than adults but at some moments it needed a little bit of head scratching to figure out what to do, I admire the creativity of the developers in some areas.
I would definitely recommend this game if you're getting it for your child or you're a fan of homestar runner the cartoon series, its price in the sale is very good, other than that you need to be careful finding it childish and hating on it.

Telltale Games joined forces with Videlectrix to use computers to make video games, and their collaboration brought us the coolest guy on the internet since 2000: the one and only STRONG BAD!

(Kids, ask your parents who Strong Bad is!)

But I digress: Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People captures everything from the Homestar Runner universe that we all know and love. Strong Bad checks his emails. He pesters everyone. He kicks The Cheat. He plays his Fun Machine. Coach Z has that weird accent. All that good stuff.

The first episode has Strong Bad ruining Homestar's reputation, then having to undo all the damage. It's a good start to the game, with plenty of funny dialogue, decent puzzles, and of course, plenty of in-jokes everywhere. Not everyone may understand the jokes or references, but there are plenty of Homestar Runner cartoons on YouTube you can watch to get with it all. Telltale went all out to assure that the game would perfectly capture the look and feel of a H*R cartoon, and they didn't disappoint.

Also, don't forget to make a Teen Girl Squad comic. Because this game is getting ready to look... SOOOO GOOOOOD!!!

As an attractive people myself, I had always enjoyed watching the Homestar Runner web series and Strong Bad Emails when I was in school. Years ago when I heard they were making an actual real game that was to come out onto the PS3 I almost sh*t myself in anticipation for it. Sadly I never was able to get it, and never could for years to come... Thankfully it's on Steam, and Steam has Summer/Winter sales, which was when I purchased this game. But again at the time, I did not have a good computer and was not able to play it, so I forgot about it for a few years... It wasn't until I looked though my library to see if anything would catch my eye. Of course I saw this and instantly remembered that I NEED TO PLAY THIS F*CKING GAME!

Having completed it, it's exactly what I was hoping for! It's a giant interactive Strong Bad Email! This game is filled with jokes and references to other SBEmails, and new jokes that keep within Homestar runners humor. If you are not a fan, I don't recommend this game. Go watch some of their animations on their website, if you enjoyed those, then consider buying this.

Telltale Games knock it out of the park with their point and click gameplay that makes it great to have Strong Bad commenting on items in the world, and harassing the other characters. The puzzles are not that hard to figure out and the progression is good. Lots of little mini games to play and collectibles to get. It is just an overall fun experience!

However, on one sad note. The PC version never got achievements, where as the PS3 version did. This being only a minor complaint, this means that if people just want to play it just for the jokes/experience, then they don't have to be a completionist and get everything, which again isn't that hard as you will get everything simply from interacting with everything.


Pros:
- It's a giant interactive Strong Bad Email.
- Fits Homestar Runner cartoons to a tee.
- Great looking graphics.
- Superb interactions with items/characters.
- Great Homestar Runner humor.
- More fun and enjoyable than Telltale's Walking Dead games.

Cons:
- If you are not a fan of Homestar Runner, you may not like it.
- It is a Telltale game, so some may not like that.
- This is a cool game for attractive people only!
- No Achievements.
- No Steam Cards.

Well, I excitedly purchased this when it was little over £5 on sale, but let me say, DO NOT BUY! On my old PC, which I bought it on, I was running Windows 7. Every single episode refused to boot despite various fixes I looked up online. I saw no support from the community for Windows 10, so if you have Win 10 like I do now, I wouldn't risk spending your money. I imagine the game to be something of quality, however, having it not boot at all makes me not at all recommend it!
