...but I actually went out yesterday and purchased the Sneak King game at Burger King yesterday. Not going to lie, but it is completely creepy beyond what I thought it would be. Nothing says disturbing like popping out of portapotty and presenting a Whopper Jr. to a hunger patron. For blantant marketing and the fact that it's an EXTREME budget title ($3.99 for a XBOX 360 title?!), it's actually a bit fun. Never thought playing the Burger King King would be fun and eerie all rolled into a game.
Anyone else try this or have any of the other games from the shameless promotion?

You're kidding, right? I mean, how can serving customers possibly be creepy?

You're kidding, right? I mean, how can serving customers possibly be creepy? because it's from the King, and that's the creepiest thing ever. Would you except a Burger after hopping out of a garbage can? When you're in first-person view, you look out two holes in the mask and then breathe heavily like Darth Vader. feartheburgerking.ytmnd.com/ |

Yeah, but that already got done in MGS, where if you wear the gas mask, you kinda breathe like Darth Vader.

I just picked it up today, but I've been kinda weirded out and just been staring blankly at the cover.

Theres also 2 other burger king titles released. I give XBOX bonus points for making some obscure games.

I have a friend back home who works as a BK manager right now (and I feel really bad for him, the job really sucks), so I might ask him soon how much of the games they got in stock. I'm actually considering getting these, probably just for the novelty of it all. I mean, Sneak King is both a stealth game AND a horror title (because you know, the Burger King king is pretty scary, and...oh, forget it, that was a lame joke and I knew I just had to say it).

I bought all three of them on Sunday. I figured Sneak King would be the most interesting so I tossed that in first. Considering the price, I was expecting a completely broken game. But it's not! Certainly not a masterpiece, but the goofiness of all it makes it worth checking out. Especially since you can do different dances when surprising people to earn higher scores. You don't see their faces, but people *cheer* when you deliver them hash browns or whatever. They also seem to mutter in Simspeak.
It's weird that you can't surprise just anyone, you need to keep an eye on the radar for people to get hungry. But if you wait to long they collapse from not having enough Burger King food. It's not too hard either. Everyone's line of sight is denoted by a cone, and they'll all pretty small, so you don't need to be TOO stealthy. The only problem is that you need to beat twenty whole missions before you can leave the first stage. That takes too long - I beat like eight before I stopped playing. The sawmill got kind of dull.
Pocketbike Racing is far better than it has any right to be - I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's the best Mario Kart clone the Xbox 360 will ever see. Plus you can play as The King, the Whopper Jr. kid, various Burger King employees from commercials, the Subservient Chicken. And Brooke Burke? Who is she? Apparently she's a model but why is she in this game? There's even multiplayer with Xbox Live (and I guess splitscreen?) Also, while not technically as demanding, it both looks and runs better than Motorstorm on the PS3, which is all kinds of hilarious. It's also worth it for one of the most hilarious title screens ever.
I haven't tried the bumper car one yet. I can't even remember it's name.
You don't need a 360 actually, you can play them on regular Xboxen too although I haven't tried it yet.
In any case, this is probably the best marketing campaign I have ever seen.

A Burger-related games in general article is needed, complete with Burger Time, Burger King and McDonald's games.

I'm also a big fan of Root Beer Tapper. We should have an article on that game!
