Unless you're an avid fan of Meatwad, Master Shake and Frylock, Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Zombie Ninja Pro-Am will make absolutely no sense to you. The game has you playing golf on a toxic waste-laden course in New Jersey while fighting walking trees and hormonal crabs while racing against beer-swilling aliens in golf carts. That sounds like an ideal party game, but Midway failed to capitalize on the show's humor and create a cool video game.

At the start of the game, Frylock (a pack of French fries with a goatee) learns he's won a membership to a local golf club. Master Shake, the cynical, smart-mouthed shake cup, vows to play, dragging Frylock and the brainless Meatwad along for the ride. After a practice session at their neighbor Carl's house (which results in breaking his windows and beating him to a pulp), they hit the course, where all hell breaks loose. You'll deal with the Space Invader-reject Mooninites, pieces of the hellish Broodwich sandwich and other obstacles before finishing all eighteen holes.

The actual gameplay, broken down into three parts, has nothing going for it. The golf game is merely a triple-tap system, with shots coming off so simply you actually have to put forth an effort to make a bad one. The cart-racing game, pitting you against a pair of obnoxious frat aliens, consists of tooling around a pre-determined part of the course with very little exploration. (Thankfully, this portion of the game concludes quickly.) The final part involves very stale combat, beating robotic turkeys, Carl's hormonal crabs and the occasional boss character. Master Shake knocks out enemies with a golf club while Frylock burns them with laser bolts. Even assorted power-ups, such as Ol' Drippy (he grants you an extra life) and tortilla chips fail to enhance the game.

The show's cast provides a great deal of dialogue, including the hysterical Dana Snyder as Master Shake and even MC Chris as MC Pee Pants (yes, MC Pee Pants). It's also hilarious to hear ESPN's Scott Van Pelt (dubbed here as "Commentary Guy") with the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future, who has no qualms about sharing his oddball stories. On top of this, Aqua Teen fans will happily indulge in the game's bonus content, including episodes of the show, cameo clips, behind-the-scenes footage and collectible pieces of the Broodwich (the most demonic sandwich ever created).

But really, the lack of effort hurts. The graphics look awful, with clipping, camera problems and glitches. Finally, some comments wear out their welcome all too quickly. Hearing Frylock say, "Look in my eyes, bitch" diminishes his coolness factor, even with the goatee.

$30 is too much to pay for Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Zombie Ninja Pro-Am, unless you're a die-hard fan that adores the show. The gameplay isn't enough to hold your attention, leaving the ridiculous dialogue and bonus content as its only redeeming features. Your best bet is to rent it, have a couple of fun nights with it (involving alcohol if you can), and then go back to watching the shows on Adult Swim.
