7 Wonders: Treasures of Seven
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
Trogdor must be stopped! The beefy-armed dragon of legend has broken free from his arcade cabinet and is burninating the land. With classic 8-bit games leaking into the real world and Strong Badia a fiery mess, only Strong Bad can take back the night and conquer this scorching menace once and for all. Does anybody know how to kill a dragon? [TellTale Games]

GameShark
The episode is brimming with pop culture references that range from The Color Purple, Se7en, The Shining, and even Samuel Adams beer.

Armchair Empire
With diverse stories and settings, great animations and overall visuals, and strong point & click gameplay along with hilariously smart-ass ribaldry that’s becoming the developer’s trademark, 8-Bit Is Enough is a satisfying series conclusion.

Telltale finishes Strong Bad’s Cool Game 4 Attractive People with a bang as 8-Bit Is Enough is hands-down the strongest episode out of the bunch.

IGN
This episode is truly bizarre, but still very funny.

My Gamer
So while Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People may have come to an end, it is still one of the more impressive point and click adventure games that came out in 2008 and firmly deserves a look.

GamingTrend
8-bit is Enough is another solid entry in the Strong Bad series.
85
GamePro
It offers a strong finish to some great episodic gaming. Not Trogdor strong, but pretty close.

Gaming Target
With its rampant hilarity and imaginative puzzles, 8-Bit is Enough is a great capstone to the Cool Games for Attractive People series.
84
Cheat Code Central
8-Bits Is Enough offers a satisfying conclusion rife with gaming nostalgia and Strong Bad’s trademark ridiculousness. While it’s hard to say whether Telltale and the Chapman bros will eventually cook up another batch of gaming episodes, surely there are plenty more absurd adventures worth exploring.

1UP
Maybe it's the spot-on humor based on the industry I work in, or perhaps just accumulated experience from the earlier episodes, but whatever the reason, 8-Bit Is Enough certainly embodies the maxim of saving the best for last. Well, until the assumedly in-the-works second season rolls around.

PC Zone UK
Some of the most polished and laugh-out-loud writing that Telltale, or any other devloper, have made for a game since LucasArts in the '90s. [Mar 2009, p.75]

PC Gamer UK
Great fun, but goes out on a whimper, rather than a bang. [Feb 2009, p.62]

PALGN
A fine finish to Strong Bad's Cool Game, and a fine videogame parody in its own right.
75
Gaming Nexus
8-Bit Is Enough is a surprisingly slow-to-start but satisfying capstone to an eclectic first season for Homestar Runner and friends.
70
Adventure Gamers
It’s still a little shallow in the gameplay department, but right down to the closing credits, it’s a lovingly thorough ode to retro games, and an amusing final adventure with some of the most colorful, acerbic, and silly characters you’ll ever virtually meet. If you can appreciate those things, then consider this game more than worthy of its pixels.

Jolt Online Gaming UK
Shows an obvious fondness by the game’s creators for classic videogames, but that’s not really represented in the gameplay, which has sadly run its course here.

Game Chronicles
If you like Homestar Runner and Strong Bad and the Cheat and so on and so forth, there is no reason why you should not get this game. You’ll love it, trust me.

Strong Bad Ep.5 is also the least linear of all the games in the series.
