it's goofy, it's fun -- if that was the goal, positioning this little excursion right before episode 9 (which imo is kind of the point of no return when RGU the TV program begins unraveling a bit) was the right call. the drawback is that much of what really makes the story what it is is not present here, but if you're playing this you're already familiar enough with these characters to fill them in if you like. gets the coveted "licensed game that is worth your time" seal of approval
