Whack Your Neighbor Review

You know what I hate? When my neighbor shows up in my yard to complain about my dog making a mess in his yard. Do you know your neighbor and does he knows you? I mean, it's a dog? What do you expect? You know what else I hate? That I can't do anything about it other than apologize and clean up after the mutt. Enter Whack Your Neighbor.

The game designer has a list of other such named titles, but Whack Your Neighbor is the newest in the line. With crisp, animated lines and a pulpy black and white style – blood being the only color – you'll have fun finding all the insane ways you can dispatch your pest.

Like all whacking games there are 27 different methods hidden within the backyard scene and some take a bit of thinking to find. But each one is well worth the search to see a satisfying animation on how you deal with your problems. Among the more lively sequences is calling a friend to help you get rid of your neighbor, playing William Tell with an apple and an archery set, using the grill spatula in your hand for a Game of Thrones-styled execution and going The Good, The Bad and The Ugly on your neighbor with a shotgun. My favorite was praying to God for divine intervention and the sound effects that followed as lightning strikes your petulant neighbor.

Whack Your Neighbor may seem simple, but it's a great time-waster game. I spent 20 minutes looking for all 27 executions and watching each one play out with morbid curiosity. Three of of the animations include the dog getting even, which is pleasing since it's really the dog who was attacked in the first place. So if you're like anyone else on the planet who has neighbors that deserve to get whacked, this game will keep you from luring your neighbor into a Tiger's Pit… at least for one more day.
