Sparkles is back in Thongs of Virtue, but a second secondary hero has also been added: Steve! Steve was raised by ninjas and rides a miniature unicorn, instantly making him one of the coolest videogame characters around. The first game allowed a second player to join in at any time and control DeathSpank's sidekick, Sparkles the Wizard. You'll encounter more advanced technologies in Thongs of Virtue, such as the robots seen here. Even though I'd done this stuff before,I really didn't mind - DeathSpank is just that much fun. Remember the spelunker who was afraid to do his own spelunking and the Thongoloth researcher who wanted you to take readings for him? There is more of that business to do here.
Some of the sidequests are plucked straight from the first game. You also have a variety of explosives at your disposal such as poison and ice grenades. They're effective at taking out enemies from a distance and provide many more strategic possibilities in battle. In Thongs of Virtue you have access to machine guns, bazookas, and lasers - really fun stuff. I don't know about you, but I found the crossbows pretty ineffectual in the first game and ended up ignoring them. The new ranged weapons are a significant improvement to your arsenal. You can play with a bunch of fun new weapons and battle new enemies. Here you'll be visiting battlefields that recall World War II, the Old West, and robot factories. Gone are the mostly fantasy areas of DeathSpank. While this sequel does feel very much like the original and sends you on the same sorts of quests, you will be traveling to quite different locales. Play Thongs of Virtue picks up a while after DeathSpank left off, with the hero having defeated who he thought was his arch nemesis - only to learn there are others in the circle of evil that need be brought to justice.
