Those who know me well know that I am a person without any inhibitions and that very few things scandalize me. I can confidently say that Genital Jousting, a party game for PC developed by Free Lives, it made my impudence waver by transforming me for a few seconds into a God-fearing one. After all, in the face of penises that penetrate penises (yes, you read that right) even Valentina Nappi could feel a very slight embarrassment. But let's go in order.
Genital Jousting has two multiplayer modes, local and online, and a narrative single player mode. Apparently these big colored faults are also the protagonists of a story (at times particularly "dramatic") made up of absurd situations that have as protagonist John, a man (?) With big problems of self-esteem who will have to make a career and find the love before attending a reunion between old school friends. If it weren't for the protagonists, it would be the typical plot of a Nick Hornby book even if there is very little English humor here. Obviously, in this delirium of testicles and seminal fluid, there is no shortage of hilarious sequences such as that of the romantic date or the vibrator test. Everything will be guided by a narrator who will not fail to throw digs at our ineptitude and our inability to be in the world.. The trash atmosphere of Genital Jousting ensures hours of fun gameplay, especially if you spend it in the company of friends and a few beers, but from the beginning you can notice some elements that in the long run can be boring or even annoying.
The game controls are immediately a little awkward to use, in fact we have the possibility to move our phallocephalus (I'm nice) from the glans or from the testicles using the space bar. This mechanism of movement will often leave us disoriented and more than once you will happen to "walk" backwards or move in a strange way. Furthermore our goal in the game will often only be to get from point A to point B, creating an annoying sense of monotony in the long run. Rightly you cannot expect anything from a penis with a life of its own but, despite everything, the various modalities offer carefree and unpretentious hours. The developers have also tried, through the story mode, to give a sort of penetrating depth (I'm nice, part 2) which, however, turns out to be an impractical outline, especially due to the various "choices" that will not lead to any significant change to the course of history.
As for the multiplayer mode, we can immediately say that, if carried out with some live friends, it can give hours of pure fun and trash. You can also play online but, also due to the lack of online players, playing in local multiplayer is definitely the best choice. There are three modes: Party, Traditional e Date Night. In Party eight participants face off in various mini-games, including a weightlifting contest. a race among the stars and a kind of Pong made of fouls. In Traditional players must try to penetrate each other getting longer and accumulating points. I believe I will not make any further comments. Finally, there is Date Night, in which two members of the game (I'm nice part 3) have to perform different actions to ensure that the romantic date that will take place in the evening leads to something more concrete. These challenges, as well as the game, are technically well done and these colorful, genital-filled graphics are also a little pleasing to the eye after some time. If you pass over some flaws, Genital Jousting it could be a good filler for those dull evenings that occasionally happen to spend with friends.
