Danimal- thanks for stoppin by. I doubled back and checked out the help screens in the game in case I missed the analog stick suggestion, but there's never any mention of controls besides the basic A/B/D-pad setup. I did, however, take the analog/right bumper/right trigger method out for a spin and it does work effectively as I successfully consumed a Jack n' Coke while playing, though I am partial to using the D-pad myself (old NES habits die hard). If there's a way for you to update your help screens to include the advice about the analog sticks and triggers, you should definitely do that... it makes playing this game even more fun. even if you gotta swap it up and hold your beer southpaw (which is appropriate if you live in Georgia and drink Southpaw)...
anyways, good work on the game, hope it does well for ya. let us know if you've got anything new in the works in the future!
Hey, I actually made this game and I'd just like to say thanks for the awesome review!! This is by far the most entertaining one I've read so far. I agree that it would be a shame if you couldn't play with a single hand - fortunately you can use the analog thumbsticks just like the D-pad. So if you use the right thumbstick, you can play the game with your right hand and hold your beer or your woman or whatever else you want with your left :) Maybe this should have been more clear in the help screens.
As far as using your own photos or avatars, that's an awesome idea and a lot of people have suggested that. Sadly, although I think the XNA tools give you access to gamerpics, they don't let you access avatars, or the camera :( And the camera would be necessary I think, since you'd need to take multiple pictures of the players. Trust me if the camera were available, the games up there would be *totally* different :)
