But it had boobs.

No, seriously, this kicks ass. A few minutes well wasted.

The feminist thing bugged me. I read the FAQ before I played, and I totally understood how it happened. Flash is a slow tool to work with, I know (but then, I'm a perfectionist [stuff I've submitted to this point barely counts]).

Then I played the game. I really like Frank Miller, even if I think his art could use just a tiny bit of improvement. I also like the noire theme. However, I don't like it when the melodrama gets really heavy, and it did in this game. I thought it was kind of silly. The art was really good, but the dialog was (again) very silly. Even though I read the fact, the man-on-woman-abuse thing really got on my nerves to the point that I just tried to skip the cutscenes all together.

The gameplay was really repetetive. I'll admit that I think nothing beats a point-and-click game, but all biases aside, there was almost no variety in this one.

HOWEVER. You occasionally required the player to use strategy and interact with the environment, and I thought that was really something in a sniper game.

Score: 2

The jokes are horrible and the last boss wouldn't shut up. You don't use many of the words you use correctly. It just sounds dumb. Everything in the room has some time-wasting description.
