However, the game is also VERY short. You can probably play it through within a few hours (4 perhaps?). And there is little replay value. Still, it is good fun.

Gameplay itself is simple, but fits the whole concept perfectly. Point and click to move your character. Point and right-click to sneak. Point and click on something to pick it up, or to combine two items. Then, wait for the neighbor to fall into your traps and enjoy the great animations.

This is also a great game for people who aren't typical gamers and wouldn't pick up a first person shooter or a strategy game.

"computer Hi-jinx at their best"
This is a refreshing game, don't get me wrong. I like shoot em ups, and RTS games. But every once in awhile I just want to play something different. "Neighbrs From Hell" is overflowing with style. Everything from the graphics, to the animations to the music, really make it stand out. The concept behind the game is you hate your neighbor, and you have to pull pranks on him. All while it's being taped for Television. Your neighbor is somebody of a big Oaf. The game has absolutly zero A.I. Everything your neighbor does is scripted. You have to set traps for him, everything from the classic egg in the microwave, to switching his shaving creme with hair growing creme. The levels don't vary much, there are 3 levels, all 14 of the missions take place over one of the 3 stages. This game could have benefited from more levels, and longer game play. A decent gamer should be able to beat this game in 3 or so hours (if even that) They start out easy, but get harder. The controls are point and click, there are no puzzles, less you count figuring out what goes where. It couldn't be eaiser to jump right into and start playing it.
What kept me playing was the animation, the pranks (I love pranks) and just the general concept of the game. You get laughs based on the pranks you pull, the more you line up in a row, the more laughs you get. I found myself replaying levels to get 100% or to find different patterns to lay the smack down with my pranks. It's not voilence like you'll see in Jackass. It's very slap stick, Banana peel on the floor, soap bar in the bathroom, switch whipped cream with shaving creme. This game won't appeal to everyone. But for those of us with a mischivious side, it will be a good time, even if it is way too short. I recommend this game for anyone who has neighbors they dislike, or anyone who wants to play something that's out of the norm.
