Following on from March's Corrupt Mind, You vs. Stupidity is another AKWare classic. As ever, the plot ("stop the rise of stupidity") is almost non-existant, and only serves as a flimsy excuse for the game itself. And what a game! Timed missions, shoot-'em-ups, puzzle solving, platform sections, 3D mazes, RPG battles - the gameplay is wonderfully varied and challenging . Better yet it's non-liner, so that whilst you must complete certain sections to complete the game, the order in which you do so is up to you. There are also a few secrets dotted about here and there to encourage replay and exploration.
The jokes are the usual pop-culture stuff, and admittedly most of the subjects (Space Jam, Men In Black) have grown a little old in the intervening years. Still, they should still raise a little chuckle from you every now and again (although some are a little bit too "hey I'm crrrrazy!" for my tastes).
Although the graphics swing between 'adequate' and 'excellent' (with the boss battles being particularly pretty), the enclosed font polishes up the presentation no end. Still, so long as you're downloading this for the excellent gameplay then you will NOT be disappointed.
NB: Some Win XP users may not be able to use the .bat file to load the font. This problem is currently unfixable, but does not impact too badly on the game itself.
