As with most movie or tv-show-to game conversions, this one is in the shithole with the rest of them. This game is pretty horrible in all areas except for GFX and sound and the only redeeming factor is the art and voices taken from the series. Anyways, here is the synopsis of the game-
Gameplay-This is probably the game's worst area. The object of the game is to do "cool stuff" so Beavis and Butthead can get GWAR tickets. Unfortunately, our heroes are faced with the impossible task of platforming through 5 stages of pure cheapness and crap. The life rationing in this game is the worst yet, as your life bar in the top of the screen is depleted by roughly half or more from the first hit you take. Each subsquent hit takes off a more tolerable amount, but that is a problem since a couple of more will kill you. Food gives you a tiny fraction of your life back and it is too scattered. The control mechanics are decent, but the stage layouts are too cheap. Too many enemies make cheap hits unavoidable and leaps of faith end up wasting around 2 lives, especially in the hospital. Your limited arsenal to fight back includes slapping Beavis(what the hell is that going to do?), picking your nose, licking the air (used to get food), or scratching your buttcrack. This is by far the worst point of the entire game.
GFX and sound-The only "good" part in this crappy game. The artwork is done by Mike Judge, and the familiar look of the series is present. Some characters even make minor appearances. The sounds are mostly voiceovers that are done well, but they range only from the infamous "huh, huh" all the way to one liners like "hey Beavis, this sucks" (like this game). The most annoying sound in the game is when Beavis is hit, which produces a sound like chalk on the chalkboard when it makes that screeching sound. Fans will appreciate this area, but not much else.
Funfactor-Like most of our stankers, this game has little fun to be found. The voices add a little, but the overall cheapness of the game just makes it that damn boring. Of course, if you are cursed with the grace of this cartridge, your old buddy the sledgehammer is waiting in the garage.
Replay-UGGGHHHH!!! None to be found. Replay the moment you shelled out any money for this game or put it on emu and lament your fatal mistake.
Overall-In the words of Beavis on the game over screen-"(chalk sound, sound, sound, sound, this sucks!)" Avoid it like plague infested rats. Score-2.5
