Oh. My. GOD!!! I don't usually complain about movie games in the Commercial Break, this is a time when I normally bitch about stupid artwork and terrible catchphrases. But Adam Sandler's Little Nicky is an exception, it marries a terrible game design with a truly forgettable ad campaign. Look at that commercial over there, that thing is horrendous! You wouldn't buy the game after seeing that advert, would you? I didn't think so.

Adam Sandler's comedy is not the type that is easy to turn into a game. He's not the type of comedian where you can just look at him and laugh, his comedy lies more in the situations he gets himself into and how angry he seems to get over the smallest problems. Perhaps that's the problem with this Little Nicky game, nothing about this commercial screams funny. In fact, there are a few things in the advert that are the anti-funny; you have to feel bad for the people responsible for making this commercial. They must not have had much to work with.

Getting back to Adam Sandler, well, in Little Nicky he just wasn't funny. Look at that face, that haircut, the hand gestures he's making ... this movie had failure written all over it. It failed miserably at the box office, bringing in only half of what it cost to make. It shouldn't surprise anybody that Little Nicky makes for a horrible game, but the least they could do is come up with a better way of advertising it. "Raise Some Hell"? Are you kidding me?? There are people that throw up better advertisements than this dud, why would anybody want to buy this game? Seriously, if you own this game you need to write me RIGHT NOW and tell me why. I await your email.
