    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Later on, you use the yum-money (the yummey) to purchase a generic albeit not racist musical instrument from whatever region of the world you're in (Egypt, Mexico, Japan, etc.) which you then use to play a rhythm minigame that rivals the depth and complexity of titles such as DMC: Devil May Cry and Michael Jackson: The Game.”
