XBL Indies: The Answer to Life Review

The answer to life...is not contained in this game.

The Answer to Life is an Xbox LIVE Indie Game that surprisingly doesn’t contain the answer to life; it doesn’t even manage to contain a minute of enjoyment. The game consists of three different modes, but none of them are good enough to warrant a purchase.

The answer to life is apparently 42. There, I just saved you a dollar! A dollar that would be better spent on double cheeseburger, or you could just donate that dollar to me (sausage doesn’t pay for itself). Besides the “answer to life”, the game also contains two other modes. “Get the Ball” consists of you competing against the computer to “get a ball”. The other mode is called “Press A as fast as you can!” Can you guess what that mode is all about?

The Answer to Life is not a good game; it doesn’t even contain a good laugh. I was hoping that maybe the game would be similar to “Do not press the red button”, but it can’t even match the enjoyment of a free flash game. I may not have the answer to life, but I can tell you that this game of the same name is not worth the money.

Too bad you can't give out negative sausages.

It may be bad, but it's not bad enough to warrant negative sausages...and I found out that "42" is a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which I saw but never read, and didn't remember it. Though I'm sure it came across a lot better in the book than in the film...
