The humor in the game is a mixed bag; while some players find it entertaining for short bursts, particularly during chaotic multiplayer moments, others feel it lacks replayability.

“There are some funny guys around!”
“Absolutely terrible lol, really unplayable in multiplayer, was funny as heck though for 30 minutes just destroying my friend by doing overheads over and over again but no replayability.”
